Revision as of 22:04, 26 August 2026

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.

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.

Page Type Status Description Notes

Journal Chronological experience or reflection What happened or what I experienced.
Active Normal journal content
Archived Historical content no longer considered active
Idea A concept, conclusion, insight, or synthesized thought An understanding that I have developed
Active Idea currently considered relevant
Archived Idea retained but no longer considered relevant
Project Information supporting an intended outcome An outcome I'm working toward.
Inception Being considered/researched but not yet committed
Active Currently being pursued
Archived Completed, abandoned, cancelled, or dormant
Area Ongoing parts of my life that I develop or maintain Something I maintain or develop over time.
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Archived No longer actively maintained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 Information I have collected that may be useful
Active Available for reference
Archived Retained but unlikely to be useful currently

Guiding Principles for Page Properties.

  • 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.
  • 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.
    1. If it is an ongoing responsibility or something that is actively maintained, it is an Area.
    2. 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.
  • A parent Area page (e.g. 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 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.
  • 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)
  • Every Hobby gets its own Area of the same name; the page for the hobby is type: Area; area: Hobby
  • 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.
  • 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.

August 26 Decision
