Hello Clayton, hello everybody,

I wonder about defining categories for FR/Documentation...
Perhaps I have not seen some important information on the subject,
but I look for days, and...
fortunately, I'm not alone ;-)
I've tried to be clear here :
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/User:Dominique_Pautrel/Wiki_Localization_Structure
Would it be better to share categories or each language should have
it's own ?
You can use whatever categories and category names you want for the
translated pages (the exception being that in some cases, multibyte
characters (eg Japanese and Chinese) in category names have caused
problems in the past).
See:
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Dashboard/Wiki_Editing_Policy#Using_Categories
for a little more info about categories.
Yes, I'm afraid I should have wrote it here yet, I've just translated
this page into French:
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/FR/Documentation/Dashboard/Wiki_Editing_Policy
For better understanding, and discussing in the French community :-) .
I've read it again...
The categories are used to group common Wiki pages. It makes sense to
group localized pages under their own categories.
Ok, we'll need to create some. But however, is there anywhere a list of
"international" categories we could all use, thus share (those of the
MainIndex category ?), or not at all...
(two exceptions: FR cat.(egory) appears in NLC cat. and
FR/Documentation cat. in Documentation cat.)
All specifics FR cat., include FR/Documentation, are sub-categories of
FR cat.) - Please / thank you to correct me if I'm wrong...
If the docs you are working on are released under the PDL (like the
majority of the English documentation) you can add the {{PDL1}}
template to your pages. This will add the PDL license text to the
bottom of the page and include it in the PDL category.
Whichever categories you choose to use, it is best to use at least one
category that is unique to each document type or set. The WikiBot
that is used to do maintenance and mass changes to Wiki pages can be
set to run on a specific category. If a document set is grouped with
at least one unique category, it makes it easy to perform any future
maintenance on that document set.

Thank you for those informations.
I never thought about robots with categories.
Seems to me that the {{PDL1}} template is mainly used too in the French
Documentation.
One last question however : About naming categories :
With our Documentation category for example, what is the best choice :
[[Category:FR/Documentation]] - or - [[Category:Documentation/FR]] ?
1. I think the first is the better - for French peoples - it will give
us an easier overview, and seems more logical, too...
2. But the second is perhaps more practical for administrators of the
wiki...
In the first case, we'll have [[Category:FR/Documentation/FAQ/Writer]],
and so on...
Second case, that become [[Category:Documentation/FR/FAQ/Writer]], etc.
I think that with this answer, we're ready to go on... until the next
question !
Thank you very much for your attention,
Regards,
Dominique
