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.

=== Page Type and Status ===

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.

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

Line 117:

** Project = What outcome does it support?

** Topic = What is it about?

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

* 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.

Line 126:

Line 123:

*# 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.

* An Area may have zero or one Parent Area.

* 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.
