Imho the most important
problem of our current system is intersections. Category:Churches gets
too crowded so we intersect it with locations (I even wrote a bot to
do
that). This "hides" a lot of images. We want to add atomic things,
let's
call them labels. So I want to add the label "church" and the label
"Amsterdam" and have some clever software figure out the intersection.
Actually, if tags dont get a hierarchy of themselfs intersecting is
one of the features I was
planning to build in the Extension (or build in an existing extension
if it exists).
One could search for a tag, and another and another narrowing down
your search.
I can't imagine how many times I was looking for something simple and
being forced
to make a specific choise in order to see a picture.
[[Categorie:German scientists who won a nobel price]]
Such a category could potentially exist on Wikipedia or Commons.
Instead such a photo could be categorised in:
[[Category:Scienco Foobar meeting 2009]]
Tag: Scientist, nobel price winner, german
Now for that reason I don't think replacing categories all together is
a good thing.
Think of categories as sets, pictures that belong together beyond
visual similarity.
I mean a tag like "Wikimania 2009" would too specific imho.
That's ideal as a gallery and/or category.
But how about a category: "Groupphotos taken during Wikimania 2009" ?
Too specific.
But categorizing images of the event in "Wikimania 2009" and tagging
some photos with 'groupphoto' .
That would be nice.
