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.
The table below shows each of the six default Page Types, the allowable Statuses for each, and a description of the content.
| Page Type | Status | Description | Notes |
| Study | Notes derived from a source or structured learning | Knowledge I'm acquiring from a particular source. | |
| Active | Currently being studied | ||
| Archived | No longer actively studied | ||
| 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| Archived | Historical content no longer considered active | ||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| Archived | No longer actively maintained | ||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.
- 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.
- 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.
