This page contains notes about properties assigned to every wiki page that will be used in workflows, alerts, reports, gamification, reminders, leaderboards, etc.  All of the notes from while I was developing the [[Page Type Uses]] was moved to the [[Page Type Brainstorming]] page.

* ''Capture Notes''
=== Wiki Mode ===
** A wiki page where new notes are captured. Often it is a copy/paste from a website or email
When new users create their wikis, they will have two options (perhaps more in the future):
** The goal is to be able to capture a note in less than 60 seconds so as to not interrupt what you were doing when you had the idea
 
** It contains just enough info to remind you of what it is and why you captured it
* Standard Wiki: A flexible MediaWiki experience with optional starter content.
** Every evening, before ending your day, you should remove everything from your capture page to another page.
* PARA Wiki: A structured personal knowledge management system
* ''Study Notes'' may start with copy/paste, but will be much more valuable if you put into your own words
 
* ''Life Notes'' (typically associated with a person, place, or thing) are very often copy/paste, because your goal is just to capture what you need and pointers to finding more
=== Page Type and Status ===
* ''Idea Notes'' (typically associated with a thought or concept); ideally, every one should link to at least two other wiki pages.
The table below shows each of the six default Page Types, the allowable Statuses for each, and a description of the content.
** THIS IS WHAT EVOLVES YOUR NOTE TAKING SYSTEM INTO A WEB OF KNOWLEDGE

=== Guiding Principles for Page Properties. ===
* Every page has a Type and Status. Pages can also be connected to Areas, Projects, and Topics.
** Type = How will I use this page?
** Status = Is it currently relevant/active?
** Area = What ongoing part of my life does it support?
** Project = What outcome does it support?
** Topic = What is it about?
* There are six default page types; more may be added later.  Users cannot add new Types.
* PageStatus determines whether a page is included in default views, searches, selectors, reports, and workflows. Archived pages remain accessible but may be excluded by default. Every page is assigned one and only one Status.
* There are three default page statuses; more may be added later.  Users cannot add new Statuses.
* These guidelines are offered to new users to help them determine what to create for Areas and Topics.
*# An ''area'' is an ongoing responsibility, activity, or something you intentionally maintain or develop over time
*# A ''topic'' is a subject that can connect multiple pages but does not represent an ongoing responsibility or activity you maintain. 
* Pages will also have type-specific metadata and may have topic-specific metadata.
* An Area may have zero or one Parent Area.
* Any page with a type other than Area may have zero or more Related Areas.
* Areas can have parent Areas.  Photography has Hobbies as a parent.  Yoga has Health & Fitness as a parent.
* A top-level Area has no ParentArea.
* When assigning an area to a page, the list of optional areas includes all pages of type: Area; status: Active.  Users can optionally check a box to include Archived pages in the list of available options.
* When assigning a project to a page, the list of optional projects includes all pages of type: Project; status: Active. Users can optionally check a box to include Archived pages in the list of available options.
* PageType and PageStatus are mandatory, and each has exactly one value.  Area and Topic are optional; we recommend a maximum of three each, but there is no restriction on the quantity.
* A hobby that the user actively practices or develops should be represented as an Area, optionally beneath the Hobbies Area.
* When a project is assigned to a page, the related areas of the project are also assigned to the page by default.  Users may remove them and/or add new Areas and/or Topics.
* Every non-Area page should normally have at least one Related Area, Related Project, or Related Topic. Pages that do not are considered unclassified and are flagged for review.

=== PARA Wiki ===
Please create a new wiki based on demo.goalstriving.org that enforces page properties and uses dynamic content.  Assign each of the properties in the table above to the pages.  The slug should be para, and the users with demo access should have the same level of access to para.
 
Please remove the page histories from demo and para, and also the redirect links that were created when pages were renamed.

Latest revision as of 19:26, 31 August 2026

This page contains notes about properties assigned to every wiki page that will be used in workflows, alerts, reports, gamification, reminders, leaderboards, etc. All of the notes from while I was developing the Page Type Uses was moved to the Page Type Brainstorming page.

Wiki Mode

When new users create their wikis, they will have two options (perhaps more in the future):

  • Standard Wiki: A flexible MediaWiki experience with optional starter content.
  • PARA Wiki: A structured personal knowledge management system

Page Type and Status

The table below shows each of the six default Page Types, the allowable Statuses for each, and a description of the content.

    • Type = How will I use this page?

    • Area = What ongoing part of my life does it support?

  • These guidelines are offered to new users to help them determine what to create for Areas and Topics.
    1. An area is an ongoing responsibility, activity, or something you intentionally maintain or develop over time
    2. A topic is a subject that can connect multiple pages but does not represent an ongoing responsibility or activity you maintain.
  • Pages will also have type-specific metadata and may have topic-specific metadata.
  • An Area may have zero or one Parent Area.
  • Any page with a type other than Area may have zero or more Related Areas.
  • Areas can have parent Areas. Photography has Hobbies as a parent. Yoga has Health & Fitness as a parent.
  • A top-level Area has no ParentArea.

PARA Wiki

Please create a new wiki based on demo.goalstriving.org that enforces page properties and uses dynamic content. Assign each of the properties in the table above to the pages. The slug should be para, and the users with demo access should have the same level of access to para.

Please remove the page histories from demo and para, and also the redirect links that were created when pages were renamed.
