Thank you Pavel for your service to the projects and your time spent at
WMDE. I hope you choose to stick around the Wikimedia projects moving
forward, even if in a somewhat lower key role than you reviously held.
Five years is quite a lot of time - and stress - for someone to hold an
executive

Hi Pine,
Thank you for your bringing this page to our attention and for raising
these interesting questions. I would have to agree that the “Program
evaluation basics” page is not well-designed and should be revisited. We
are actually going to be redesigning the entire evaluation portal soon and

Commons has tags right now: they're called categories. Or is there a

Easy and obvious when you look at it with eyes that do not expect English.
A tag will be linked to Wikidata. Consequently it will show differently

It is just these other people who will be serviced. Another reason is that

MZMcBride - Categories are hierarchical and people worry about them
overlapping. Tags have no hierarchy.
The major problem is that labor is wasted because there is no easy way to
search intersections of categories. Instead of having a category for 18th
century French painters, it would be ideal

Categories _can be_ hierarchical, but categories can simultaneously be
flat. People worry about a lot of things, but that doesn't mean there are

I think intersection is the most significant cause of the current
categorisation system.
My understanding of the current reasoning behind categorisation as seen on
Commons and elsewhere is that:
1) the lack of category intersection causes the very specific categories,
which are essentially saved
The difference between categories and tags is semantic but those semantics
determine how the feature is used.
I suppose from an abstract technical perspective what is needed is
different classes of category-like objects based on the purpose it should
serve and displayed separately and possibly
