Were that still true today I don't think the analogy would be any better or worse. Again though, analogies aren't meant to be perfect. My purpose was to show how bad of an idea it is to merge multiple already overcrowded namespaces (namespace, in the [[namespace (computer science)]] sense). Maybe it was a bad analogy though.

But I don't think that's an adequate reason to adopt a policy making it so. I guess what has to happen before this can really be discussed is we need to drop the hypotheticals and come up with a semi-accurate list of actual conflicts. If a good portion of the conflicts are actually causing problems, then it's one thing. If most of them are just good faith collisions which wouldn't have even been discovered were it not for SUL, then it's another.

New extension: SelectCategoryTagCloud
by Andreas Rindler 26 Aug '07

26 Aug '07

Hi, I have created a new extension called SelectCategoryTagCloud. It displays categories as a tag cloud on the edit page for users to select and unselect categories. It also has an AJAX based suggest feature to suggest existing categories to the user when keying in the name for a category. It's available on http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SelectCategoryTagCloud. The code is heavily based on two other extensions (SelectCategory and WikiCategoryTagCloud). It needs some cleaning up and streamlining of the configuration. But it should be fully functional. Anyone have a suggestion where to maintain the source code to handle bugfixes and future releases? Cheers, Andi

[Humor] distributed database tables
by jidanni＠jidanni.org 26 Aug '07

26 Aug '07

Hmmm, MediaWiki is on the right track storing different aspects of an article in different MySQL database tables, if this model from nature is to be followed. "Each rat was shocked while a drug was injected into three parts of the brain. Two days later their memory of the bad experience was tested, and the drugs revealed what parts of the brain were at work. The findings: The hippocampus is involved in processing memory for context; the anterior cingulate cortex deals with retaining memories of unpleasant stimuli; the amygdala consolidates memories more broadly and influences the storage of both contextual and unpleasant information." http://www.livescience.com/health/060202_thoughts_scattered.html
