    Wikipedia has categories (have a look at this http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?tit ... Categories and this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Categoryermaculture).

    Does the Wiki technical documentation say anything about them? It appears to be a fairly new thing on Wikipedia. It would be useful here for example: http://www.permapedia.com/index.php/Growth

    mike,

    A page in any namespace can be put in a category by adding a category tag to the page (by convention, at the end of the page), e.g.:

    [[Category:Category name]]

    i went and added [[Categorylants]] to the bottom of the Growth page, and you can see it listed here: http://www.permapedia.com/index.php/Categorylants

    you can see more here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Category

    cool!

    Excellent Murray. Now let's see if we can get people using them. The Miscellaneous page can go. (I'll do that now - you can resurrect it if you choose). Just use a misc category - if they belong.

    Zones 0 thru 5 might also be categories as well as articles. I'd like to see the Growth page gone and replaced with a category. Any ideas on the name?

    Mike

    Holy shit Murray, you have been busy. I am just winding my way through your hierarchy of lists. I hope you don't mind, I am converting them to categories. That way they are auto updating.
