Magnus-
OK, preliminary version running at
test.wikipedia.org.
Nice! Since you coded it, you may call it a "Magnus style scheme" ;-)
Some feedback:
1) If there's just one article, it still gets a semicolon appended. I have
no opinion yet as to whether the list should be formatted as one big block
or as a list, though.
2) We don't seem to have parent/child categories yet. If a category is
itself added to a category, the parent category should have a section
called
== Child categories ==
And the child category should have a section called
== Parent categories ==
By having this kind of automatic directory-like organization, we could
avoid a lot of category redundancy by only adding the most relevant,
lowest level category to each article.
3) Similarly, it would be neat if the list of categories would be
structured according to parent child relationships, i.e.
* Biology
** Medicine
* France
** French monarch
...
4) I think the categories should be put under the page subtitle, or at the
bottom of the page, but definitely not next to "printable version".
5) After I initially proposed the scheme, Brion suggested that it would be
useful to have some way to specify how an article should be sorted in the
category list, e.g.
[[Category:Author|King, Stephen]]
I still worry that we'll create a mess like we did
with the interlanguage
links. But, here, you go anyway.
I'm worried about this if we don't have hierarchical categories.
Otherwise, I think we can avoid creating a too big mess by coming up with
a reasonable hierarchy.
