Suggestion: Introduction of Model-Type Categories
Hei,
first, thx for sysoping me. I feel honored. ;)
I just thought that we could have categories representing the TP models (not too detailed)...like ThinkpadR50, ThinkpadT40p, ThinkpadA21 and so on.
This way we could add the specs, install notes and other pages to the according models category and this way provide a means of crossreferenced "show me all info about my model" access.
What do you think?

We could add the category views to the List in the Models section, since the specs are only attached to the model-numbers, not to the general name of the models.

Yes, that's a good idea, let's do it. I like the mediawiki category concept.

Hei, it works great.
Seems like we got a good start. ;-) I mean, two days and we already have some really useful cross reference information gathering functionality!
However, i have three general issues we should make decisions about:
- If we rename all the Model categories to just T40, 600, X23, they would not all be sorted under T in the Models category, hence leading to better organisation. The backdrawing is that this causes them to spread out in the category listing that one can get by clicking on the Categories link of categorised pages. I think the advantage is bigger than the backdrawing, right? (Good that i just added a lot of them to different pages. ;) )
- We are using these strange not very expressive internal link names. Mediawiki seems to handle expressive names quite well, so shouldn't we just use real page titles as their links? Makes things easier for editors, makes things more readable in Category views and finally gives us nicer titles to the pages.
- Is there a way here to get some kind of back-buttons automatically included into the pages? I've seen that the wiki does this on subpages of userpages, but i tried giving hirarchical link structures (with slashes) in the install section and it didn't work the same way. Else i think we should sooner or later start including them by hand.
