Guiding Principles
* The page type should describe a page's purpose. 
* If it isn't an ongoing responsibility or something that is actively maintained, it is a Resource.  If you frequently go 2 weeks without thinking about this, then it is a Resource.
* In general, if you spend more than an hour per week doing or thinking about something, then it is probably an Area
* Every Area gets a top level section in the Main Page, except Hobbies
* Every Hobby gets its own area; the page for the Hobby is type: Area; area: Hobbies
** A page within the Hobby will probably have a type: Reference; area: Photography
* Pages assigned to the project will automatically have the areas of that project assigned to each page by default

This page contains notes about the idea of categorizing every wiki page with a type that will be used in workflows, alerts, reports, gamification, reminders, leaderboards, etc. It would add the most value if I made a mandatory rule that every page must have one and only one type classification. Page Type Uses. All of the notes from while I was developing the Page Type Uses was moved to the Page Type Brainstorming page.

Guiding Principles

  • The page type should describe a page's purpose.
  • If it isn't an ongoing responsibility or something that is actively maintained, it is a Resource. If you frequently go 2 weeks without thinking about this, then it is a Resource.
  • In general, if you spend more than an hour per week doing or thinking about something, then it is probably an Area
  • Every Area gets a top level section in the Main Page, except Hobbies
  • Every Hobby gets its own area; the page for the Hobby is type: Area; area: Hobbies
    • A page within the Hobby will probably have a type: Reference; area: Photography
  • Pages assigned to the project will automatically have the areas of that project assigned to each page by default

Study Notes derived from a source or structured learning
Active Currently being studied
Archived No longer actively studied
Journal Chronological experience or reflection

Inception Potential Area being considered/developed
Active Ongoing responsibility or interest
Archived No longer actively maintained
Resource Likely to have more use in the future than today
Active Available for reference
Archived Retained but unlikely to be useful currently

Topics and Tags

Now that Page Types and Status are confirmed, I need to think about tags/topics.

  • Since capture notes will be in Cargo, on what type type will Capture exist?
  • Projects and Areas could each be a Topic
  • Hierarchical naming and duplicate page names

Tutorials

Two important types of pages that need to be treated special:

  • Pages that help me improve a process or something about me or how I work (maybe Idea Pages)
    • How to choose an investment strategy
    • How to edit a video using DaVinci Resolve
    • How to get more exercise
  • Pages that are helpful guidelines
    • Things to consider when booking a hotel
    • Keyboard shortcuts in VS Code
    • Best practices, tips, tutorials

Choosing Page Titles

I think I need a tutorial on choosing a Page Title

  • Benefits of adding hierarchy
  • Duplicate name issue
  • Title case versus only FLFW caps
  • Long versus short
  • When to use acronyms
