Re: [lojban] Re: A new Lojbanic wiki (LMW). On the threshold of the 25th anniversary of Lojban
I like the suggestion of a {{cleanup}} template. I've been working
on general workflow templates over at OpenCog:
http://wiki.opencog.org/w/Curation
And they are similar to this idea. You can mark a page as a
{{stub}}, mark it as work in progress ({{WIP}})* write it until
it's a {{proposal}}, and then {{withdraw}} it if it's a bad idea
or tag it with a {{version}} if it becomes a feature. Later work
may cause it to be {{obsolete}} and if you don't keep it in sync
it might get {{out of date}}.
These templates also take care to register the pages in the
appropriate namespaces, so a curator can see which pages are in
which categories. I like workflow processes like this because any
effort has a 'long tail' of incomplete, partial, bad, and promising
ideas that don't quite fit into the existing structure of the wiki.
