I've got to wonder if it's possible to produce a flat (or better yet hierarchical) list of categories (as above) automatically. It would certainly be easier to keep up-to-date than a hand-edited list... perhaps a script that watches for edits on Category.*, pulls the description, and updates/adds the list?

Since [[Moin Moin|MoinMoin]] does not support sub-categories, we should determine if we indicates all parent categories when tagging a page with a subcategory.

Discussion about MusicBrainz wiki categories
Purpose
What Categories do we need, are they good the way they are? Which ones should be proposed in WikiCategories?
Listing and discussion of current categories
Categories needing discussion
Full list
- -- For pages about MusicBrainz features and implementation. This one is getting huge. Maybe we should split it.
- -- This Category is for pages that make proposals which are not only about style (which is covered by) but also new ideas for further developments and other stuff.
- -- For discussion threads. Pages will often be in this and some other category.
- -- For additional info pages that someday may go into the database.
- -- For pages describing, proposing, or discussing the style guidelines
- -- Pages that deal with SeriesStyleGuideline
s.
- -- Pages that deal with SeriesStyleGuideline
- Should we really keep this one? There are 3 pages in this category. -- murdos 13:58, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
- -- For pages describing, proposing, or discussing the editing process & guidelines.
- -- This Category is for pages that explain the various stati an Edit may have during its lifetime.
- -- This Category is for pages that deal with a the Advanced Relationships subsection of the MusicBrainzDocumentation on this wiki.
- -- This Category groups all pages that contain a ProposedAdvancedRelationshipType. It is used to automatically generate a list of these pages on ProposedAdvancedRelationshipType
- -- This Category groups all pages about AdvancedRelationshipAttribute
s.
- -- This Category groups all pages about AdvancedRelationshipClass
es.
- -- This Category groups all pages about AdvancedRelationshipType
s.
- -- For MusicBrainz documentation being developed on the Wiki.
- -- For explanations of terminology like DiscID, ArtistSortName, etc.
- -- This is a list of HowTo's automatically created from BackLink
s to this page. For a more structured overview and instructions on how to add new pages, see HowTo
- -- For pages with descriptions of other related software, resources, or external links.
- -- This Category is for pages that deal with the applications which use the MusicBrainz data, but are not maintained by the MusicBrainz developers. See the Products page if you want to learn about the MusicBrainz products.
- -- For metadiscussion, tasks about this Wiki.
- and of course, which includes all of the above, plus any which aren't yet listed here.
- -- Indexpages just collect pages that deal with a specific topic without that topic being discussed on the page itself. Please keep in mind that a WikiIsAFlatHierarchy. That means that pages can be listed on several indices. Indexpages form nothing like a directory tree but are mere clusters for topics.
- -- Pages that have a philosophical viewpoint.
- -- This Category groups all pages that deal with lists of stuff to do.
- -- This Category groups all pages kept for historical purposes (Discussion, Proposal, ...).

Discussion
I've got to wonder if it's possible to produce a flat (or better yet hierarchical) list of categories (as above) automatically. It would certainly be easier to keep up-to-date than a hand-edited list... perhaps a script that watches for edits on Category.*, pulls the description, and updates/adds the list?
