Eric, Well, strictly speaking, we'd prefer not just categories, not just the checklist, but the subpages. But, frankly, that is too much to ask at this point, for most new people. If you just add the categories, we'll be able to "subpaginate" relatively easily later.
(In time, all this apparatus will be included in the MediaWiki software itself, and then it'll be a lot easier. For now, we do what we can with the tools we can afford...) --Larry > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of > Eric Winesett > Sent: Saturday, November 10, 2007 11:00 PM > To: Citizendium general project announcement list > Subject: Re: [Citizendium-l] [[Category:CZ Live]] (just a reminder) > > > Does this reminder apply only if you do not add the checklist or add > subpages with "CZ:Start article with subpages"? > > http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/CZ:Start_article_with_subpages > > My stub for modern art shows up in the correct workgroup, stubs, and > CZ live categories even though I didn't put any category > designations > into the article.
