Categories?

Hm... What's the benefit of this article over categories? Having it all on one page? --Zai signature.png (talk|contribs) 01:21, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

Don't forget that it isn't bugged like the categories. Course I pity the person who has to update it periodically (I'm not doing it). I wonder if I updated the static lists during the last function add? -- Strife (talk|contribs) 04:09, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
@ bugged categories: Are you referring to the localized pages showing up in the English cats? I noticed that a couple of times and pondered if it'd be an artifact from an ancient template change that didn't propagate through the wiki? A null edit on the localized page usually fixed it, tho I don't know: Is it re-occuring / just a temporary fix? I think I once read MediaWiki documentation, which mentioned bugginess for categories applied by templates, tho I don't recall it in detail.
There seems to be more category weirdness, as some don't honor their __HIDDENCAT__ flag. E.g. Category:Pages with translation/es on the main page. Ugly...
@ last function add: How do you keep track of these? Might be time again to fiddle with the GeShi highlighter and add the latest additions.

I'm interested to have this map of LSL functions for my own. So why not create it here? I will continue the edit on my user page and will make it available when almost complete. Michele Wardark 5:00, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

You don't need to do that, it looked good. We didn't mean to scare you off or discourage you. If we thought the information was sub-par we would have commented to that effect. -- Strife (talk|contribs) 05:07, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
p.s. I would make the headers link to the categories.
Yeah, like Strife said, discouragement wasn't the goal. My comment was motivated by a mix of curiosity and interest (since I fear that a great part of the category's target audience isn't actually using any categories to browse the wiki). So I tried to understand the intention behind the page to think about how to make it easier to keep up to date. I pondered if something like Extension:CategoryTree could be used to meet the same goal. (In case we had the extension and in case categories would work reliably...)
