Glad to see a conversation blooming here. Any chance we can see a little consolidation of these pages, though? Looks like we're sprawling out quite a bit. -- Rob Linden 20:01, 12 February 2007 (PST)

semantics

This should probably be moved to Project:Plugin architecture
SignpostMarv Martin 13:17, 14 February 2007 (PST)

No, Project: is used for official metainformation about the open source project from linden lab. Things like policy statements and such. This namespace is fine. Gigs Taggart 13:30, 14 February 2007 (PST)
Is that LL policy, or a practice borrowed from the Wikipedia ?
SignpostMarv Martin 13:35, 14 February 2007 (PST)
Yes, it is LL's policy. The bug in Jira to use multiple namespaces was shot down and closed WONTFIX. Fragmenting the namespace has negative effects on searching and no real benefit. Namespaces should be used for pages that are fundamentally different in some way, not as a way to partition articles. Please don't use the Project: namespace for articles. Just create the article and then tag it with categories it fits in. People can bring up the category page to look through pages in that category. Gigs Taggart 13:45, 14 February 2007 (PST)
WEB-22 was Rob shooting down Strife's request to have "LSL" added as a custom namespace, not Rob shooting down any and all uses of built-in namespaces.
If this article is intended to be a hub for the standardisation and development of plugins & plugin architecture, then it should be moved to Project:Plugin architecture, as it would be a "project" within the SL Wiki, as opposed to an article which describes the plugin architecture once it's defined.

P.S. This wouldn't go under "This wiki should function as one wiki, rather than as a bunch of tiny wikis that happen to share the same domain name.", as it is purely for organisational purposes, whereas Strife seems to want to segregate the wiki.

Actually, "Project:" should be reserved for meta information about this wiki itself. On most MediaWiki installs, the "Project:" namespace is equal to the name of the wiki itself, but I unset that option, thus "Project:" is the sole way of getting to that namespace. The things that go into the "Project:" namespace should be limited to those things that are about editing policy, etc. -- Rob Linden 14:47, 14 February 2007 (PST)

Ah. So is Project:Internationalisation a good use of the namespace or not ?

Looks good to me. Gigs Taggart 15:56, 14 February 2007 (PST)
