We had a
pretty lengthy discussion about this before the summer, and the
consensus seemed to be that a fulltext-based approach looked most
viable.
So how does this take care of deep indexing non-atomic categories?
Err.. what? Please explain what you mean by that.
=>How will this extension be even remotely useful
for let's say commons?
Without addressing Commons in particular, having an efficient way to get
pages in the intersection of multiple categories would allow wikis to
delete a category such as [[Category:Deceased Presidents of the United
States]] and replace it by, say, [[Intersection:Deceased Presidents of
the United States]], which would list all articles in
[[Category:Deceased people]] and [[Category:Presidents of the United
States]]. My extension alone doesn't make that possible, but it makes
implementing such a feature considerably easier.
This discussion is far from over. The basic problems
are _not_ solved.
Would you care to elaborate on what those unsolved problems are?
I'm sure this thread will die out soon.
Half of the participants will again be soothed by the promise of some easy
solution just barely beyond the horizon, while the half that realizes that
said solution _cannot possibly work_ without a radical reform of the category
system will again be too annoyed (I'm getting there already) to continue
discussing.
It would be nice if you didn't judge people as naive rightaway.
