WikiDocs Pages

This page lists all wiki pages that should be part of the initial WikiDocs launch and listed in the ModeratedRevisionTable

General Issues

To decide which pages nedd to be moderated I ask myself two questions:

• What pages are relevant to a newcomer to MusicBrainz? These are the pages that should be moderated. Pages that are only relevant to people who are already accustomed to MusciBrainz can stay in the MusicBrainzWiki and do not need to be moderated, since a member of the MusicBrainz community can (or should learn to) retrieve informaiton from the wiki.
• What pages reflect an official position of the MusicBrainz project? The responsible persons need to have some control over these pages, thus they need to be moderated.

Generally I try to have as few pages in the ModeratedRevisionTable as possible. I think we should start out low. We can always add more pages later if we get problems with spammers and vandals. MoinMoin has an AntiSpamGlobalSolution against the latter.

Pages to Become WikiDocs Pages

Status: I am currently reworking the list into a table that shows which content is where.

Initially I started a semi-structured list with the idea of creating a new MainSiteStructure. But now we first need an overview about the status quo, and the sturcture created by G0llum is pretty good to start with. See also RestructuringTheDocumentation for some prior work on this (especially proposed WikiNames). This table follows the structure of the new top menu bar:

Position in SiteMenu	Current URL	Corresponding WikiPage	Notes	TODO
About	http://musicbrainz.org/wd/AboutMusicBrainz	MusicBrainz	That is the page which hosts the content in question. I have no problems with the WikiName, but Alex once said it was not that good.	review WikiPage
* Privacy	http://musicbrainz.org/privacy which redirects to http://musicbrainz.org/docs/20050213-1.html	ModeratorPrivacy	The WikiPage contains some discussion but not the content of the current static page. There is no /wd/ page. Dupuy Proposed to leave this as a static page, this is a contract with our users after all.	decide
* History	http://musicbrainz.org/wd/MusicBrainzHistory	MusicBrainzRoots		review WikiPage and intertwingle
* People	http://musicbrainz.org/wd/MusicBrainzBio	PeopleBehindMusicBrainz	We need to decide whether to use one single page or inclusions to OfficialBio SubPages in the wiki.	do page and intertwingle
* Licenses	http://musicbrainz.org/about/licenses.html	MusicBrainzLicense or DataLicense	Is that a good WikiName?	copy content from html and intertwingle
* Social Contract	http://musicbrainz.org/contract.html	SocialContract	Same situation as Privacy above	decide
* Software	http://musicbrainz.org/wd/MusicBrainzEnabledApplications	none yet	OtherPrograms would be analog to OtherDatabases, but is not ideal. MusicBrainzClient is better, but currently redirects to ClientLibrary	create new WikiPage, copy content, intertwingle

  • ModeratonNote
  • MailingList and http://www.musicbrainz.org/list.html
  • A page about the Blog/News system (I don't think there is one, yet)
  • SourceForge i.e. a page about our source forge page (what we use it for and what not).
  • IRC (this should be renamed MusicBrainzChat or something like this, since it does not deal with IRC in general, but with our IRC)

• MusicBrainz or http://www.musicbrainz.org/wd/AboutMusicBrainz
  • http://www.musicbrainz.org/wd/CorporateSponsors
  • ModeratorPrivacy or http://www.musicbrainz.org/privacy
  • http://www.musicbrainz.org/wd/MusicBrainzHistory
  • People: http://www.musicbrainz.org/bio.html or Category Person (hmm, how do you do that?)
  • * StyleCouncil or currently http://www.musicbrainz.org/wd/OfficialStyleGroup
  • A page that summarizes http://www.musicbrainz.org/about/licenses.html and http://www.musicbrainz.org/contract.html and perhaps http://www.musicbrainz.org/about/logos.html and the very good blog entry by Robert

• StyleGuideline and http://www.musicbrainz.org/style.html
  • OfficialStyleGuideline and all pages of Category Official Style
  • ProposedStyleGuideline but not the pages for the proposed guidelines themselves. These should remain in the wiki
  • CapitalizationStandard and its language specific sub-pages.
  • ClassicalStyleGuide

• EditingGuideline or http://www.musicbrainz.org/mod_intro.html (but avoiding BadTerminology) and content from the old InformationOnEditing.
  • http://www.musicbrainz.org/wd/ModerationFAQ (avoinding BadTerminology)

• MusicBrainzDocumentation

• It is my understanding that very few of the actual documentation needs to be moderated. Ideally those pages that give a structured introduction to all pages which document a certain feature should be moderated, but these actual pages should not. It is enough that the introductory page declares that the rest is maintaned by the wiki community. Only if we experience vandalism, should we add all these pages to the ModeratedRevisionTable --DonRedman * AdvancedRelationships (once this has stabilzed and only if we have troubles with vandals all the subpages) * EditType (but IMO not the edit type pages themeselves) * ... * MusicBrainzTerminology ** probably all pages of Category Terminology
