Categorisation suggestion
I think we should change the categorization of the Math Glossary such that all of the mathgloss pages are categorised in their own category: Category:Math glossary. This will put all of the completed math glossary pages in one place.
Then we should make Category:Math glossary a sub-category of Category:Glossary and Category:Mathematics.
One thing I'm just learning about is how to add a sort key to a category. Ideally we would like the math gloss pages to sort by the subpage name.
I think we can do that with this code [[Category:Math glossary|{{SUBPAGENAME}}; the section after the pipe serves as a sort key without displaying in the list. You can read more about this technique on WP: Sort.
Anyone have thoughts on this?
I wonder if it might be more beneficial if we treat the glossary as a portal. I like Brent Simpson's portal http://www.wikieducator.org/Portal:Primary , unfortunately the grade levels seem to have been blocked in by the biology group.

I agree that the Math Glossary is similar in style to a portal (I do like the idea of Brent Simpson's portals -- not sure how to handle the biology content).
I'm suggesting creating a category for just the Math Glossary, because currently all of the MathGloss pages are included in Category:Glossary and Category:Mathematics. As it is the math gloss pages are overrunning these categories, and these pages are only going to get more numerous. Seemed like creating a subcategory for the Math Glossary would be a good thing.
The main page of the glossary can be more of a portal (if we'd like), I'm interested in creating a specific category for the subpages.
You may want to check the change that I am making to my page http://www.wikieducator.org/K-12math.info_%28English_-_Espa%C3%B1ol_%E2%80%93_Fran%C3%A7ais%29 . The section at the bottom of the page is the direction I am going for the whole page. Live links to supporting information have been set up for the first entries in the Subect and Grade level sections.
