[Wikipedia-l] Major new thread: Looking for consensus on content metadata

[Erik Moeller]

Jimmy-

all of the requirements you describe would be met nicely by my  
[[Category:Foo]] scheme. :-) So far nobody has done any work implementing  
it, and I won't do much coding for the next couple of months, but it seems  
like a reasonable solution. I would like to add that any category system  
should support hierarchies, to avoid unnecessary redundancy. E.g. when you  
have [[Category:US president with a beard]], you don't need to flag the  
same article with [[Category:US president]], because the former is a child  
category of the latter.

Regards,

Erik
