needs to be in a category

I don't think every page needs to be in a category. --Laibsch 07:59, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

It's not a need but a should. And i believe it is very helpful. If we see this help not as a dogma (as stated above) i propose to keep this point. -- Sledz 11:46, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

should in open-source is a requirement. I'd rather have people add a page than giving up because they don't know about categories. --Laibsch 08:53, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

best-practice not dogma

The text should clearly state from the beginning that this is best-practice not dogma. I'd appreciate any contribution, no matter the form, over people being scared to contribute. This wiki is still legible, I think, we don't need to be too rigid. I guess we can just let users contribute. If they want to follow our guidelines, more power to them. If not, we can correct their "mistakes" as wiki maintainers. --Laibsch 07:59, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

Yes, i agree with this best practise instead of dogma. I'll change the proposal. -- Sledz 08:56, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

The text is quite long and I have to admit that even I as admin don't want to read it that much ;-) I think we're doing mostly fine with the wiki, aren't we? I still think putting these thoughts in writing is a good start. Instead of making this "in-your-face" as the next step, I suggest for interested parties to clean up the current wiki according to this policy. This will also indicate to us if we need to communicate this soft policy stronger or if the current and ongoing patrolling of the wiki is sufficient. --Laibsch 09:02, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
