Wiki Page Properties: Difference between revisions

=== August 25 Decision ===

Every wiki page will have four properties: Type, Status, Area, and Topic. We could call them Page_Type, Page_Status, etc. Please use standard naming conventions and keep things as intuitive as possible. Pages will also have type-specific metadata and may have topic-specific metadata.

=== Guiding Principles ===

* The page ~~type should describe a~~ page~~'s purpose~~.

=== Guiding Principles for Page Properties. ===

* 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~~.

* The Type describes how the content on the page will be used. Every page is assigned one and only one Type.

* ~~In general, if~~ you spend ~~more~~ than an hour per week doing or thinking about something, then it ~~is probably an Area~~

* There are six default page types; more may be added later. Users cannot add new Types.

* The Status determines visibility and searchability. 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.

*# If it is an ongoing responsibility or something that is actively maintained, it is an Area.

*# If you typically spend less than an hour per week doing or thinking about something, then it could be a Topic. But only create Topics for things that you think you might eventually have multiple pages about.

* Areas can have parent Areas. Photography has Hobbies as a parent. Yoga has Health & Fitness as a parent.

** Use this sparingly; about 10-20 active areas is a good quantity.

* A parent Area page (e.g. Household) does not have any areas assigned.

* A parent Area page (Household) does not have any areas assigned.

* When assigning an area to a page, the list of optional areas includes all pages of type: Area; status: Active; Area: NULL. Users can optionally check a box to include Archived pages in the list of available options.

* When assigning an area to a page, the list of optional areas ~~include~~ all pages of type: Area; status: Active; Area: ~~<none>~~

* 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.

* When assigning a project to a page, the list of optional projects includes all pages of type: Project; status: Active

* Status and Type are mandatory with a maximum of one assigned. Area and Topic are optional - the "system" does not require there be a maximum of Areas and Topics assigned to any page, but if you recommend, we could set a max of three or four (for each or combined)

* ~~All~~ Areas (~~except child areas~~) ~~gets a top level section in the Main Page~~

* Every Hobby gets its own Area of the same name; the page for the hobby is type: Area; area: Hobby

* Every Hobby gets its own ~~area~~; the page for the ~~Hobby~~ is type: Area; area: ~~Hobbies~~

* Pages assigned to the project will automatically have the area(s) of that project assigned to them by default. Users may remove them and/or add new Areas and/or Topics.

** A page within the Hobby ~~will probably have a type: Reference; area: Photography~~

* Every page that is not type: Area should have at least one Area or Topic assigned. There should be a notification to the user that is visible on that page as well as in the user's Status page.

* Projects and Areas created, they create matching identities, but those identities are not associated with the page for the Project or Area its self

* Pages assigned to the project will automatically have the ~~areas~~ of that project assigned to ~~each page~~ by default

* Every page that is not type: Area should have at least one ~~Parent~~ Area assigned.
