The two are concurrent ATM (which is bad) but I don't see a solution yet, as both have advantages and if one wins, it's easy to change the other.

In order not to lose pages, DE/Documentation is located beneath DE/Documentation, which might cause even more confusion. Maybe this could be solved by revision flagging, but I don't have the time to test it ATM. This seems to be the source of the problem after you mentioned using localized categories, and pointed at DE/Dokumentation, I went with the idea... and added a DE page to that category. Yep, but the page belonged to the synced stuff (and contained just some preliminary stuff, but no valuable info). If you consider this a bad practice, please suggest a better one.

I follow now. I don't know if there is any good' practice for a situation like this. Hmmm.. thinking about it... if I was doing something like this, I would probably follow something like DE/Dokumentation/Übersetzt or something similar. To me I would expect that would be somewhat clearer to the German readers than DE/Documentation for the translated docs. Then you could make the DE/Dokumentation/Übersetzt Category a subCategory of DE/Dokumentation to keep the structure intact. I don't know if that would be better or not.. just an idea that popped into my head this morning.

[documentation-dev] Messed up DE categories
Clayton, you changed several Categories und the DE/ Page tree. Now, to me all seems messed up. Could you explain the rationale behind your changes? BTW when editing a page, there is a comment field - I'd like to propose to make more use of this field as it explains the changes made to a page.

Are there other pages that are in the DE category that were changed today? Sorry, I just reverted your edit on DE/Documentation and now I don't find the mess any more.

Could you explain the rationale behind your changes? Ummm.. cleaning up: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Category:Documentation ok - I don't find the problematic pages at the moment. Maybe they will re-emerge one day, then I'll ask again. Sorry for confusion.
