The ideabehind having one wiki and multiple namespaces
is that a user
can search multiple languages and have a common resource in the main
namespace.
Hi John,
I understand for a particular namespace for each language, because of the
variant between thus
But the use of the Category Namespace is different : not to automatically
show all the pages existing but to build **ONE/YOUR** category tree (with
childs and parents for each level = you can put several
[[Category:Category(n)]] on each page) for your whole site (and undistincly
his whole namespaces) with the pages YOU decide to "tag", each page with one
or several[[Category:TheCategoryThisPageBelongs]].
So the visitor can 1°)crawl though the pages themselves, or 2°) through the
great and unique Category tree, with branches and subbranches for each
purpose.
So this tree will contain an alternative way of dysplaying the info = what
you decide and how you decide ... a first branch for the administration
tools, with a child branch for the template of the site, another great
branch for langages, and somes child for each bunch of specific langage
pages.
See for example
You'll see inthere : the subcategories (child), the page of the category,
the parent (click on the bottom link of that page <Contents>) and you can
have
Replace the tree for administration tools with what you need for making your
language pages easier to navigate by the visitor
and keep in mind you must "tag" every page that should take place in the
Category tree

I'm trying to keep each Basic language's categories separate. The STRING()
function for ScriptBasic is different for FreeBASIC for example. The idea
behind having one wiki and multiple namespaces is that a user can search
multiple languages and have a common resource in the main namespace.

Hello,
... perharpsIi don't understand very well what you need, but ..
I think you should better follow the normal use of the
Category spacename This spacename is natural in MW, like
Template or Help, and no need to redeclare it. It comes with
some naturally specific behaviors. And you can so use some
extensions like <categorytree>. Sure it seems more "dirty"
because you have in a second time to "chain" those category
(a new little bit of work !) pages to construct the good tree
= put "[[Category:String functions|xx]]" in each yours
"SB:String()" pages
+ and forget to use $wgExtraNamespaces[126] = "SB_Category";
The "|xx" in [[Category:String functions|xx]] should display
more ordered list when consulting the Category page, with
alphabetics range (A .. B .. C,
etc)
@+ de jfb "0.02$", hope that helps

List,
I have setup Mediawiki for the
www.AllBasic.Info site and I
created custom
name spaces for each Basic language. I'm

If I have a page named "SB:STRING()"
and want to assign it
to the "SB
Category:String Functions" category,
everything is grouped
under "S" due
to
the language name space.
I searched till for hours trying to find the solution to
this and nothing.
If anyone could shed some light on using categories that
are unique to
name
spaces, I would be very grateful. My wiki project is on
hold till this
gets
resolved.
Thanks !
John
