There is (for more than a year): http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/User_Experience/SOP/Wiki/Signing "The categories shall be added at the bottom of the wiki-text." I guess we found another reason for: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Dashboard/Ideastorm#Consolidate_Wiki_Rules ;-) > Somewhere along the line, people added Category coding to the bottom > of the page.. I'm guessing because that's also where the Category > shows up, and it seemed like a good idea at the time. :-) Probably. I followed the rule as long as I knew about it, however, adding it at the top actually makes a little more sense, as thats also where TOCs etc. are transcluded (also sometimes adding categories). Anyway, I would be fine with Category-On-Top for new edits, but then the docs should be fixed. And really, there needs some consolidation of the wiki rules - but I guess one would need to summon all (or at least most) of the authors of the current sets of outdated/contradicting/incomplete rules, to have a base of support to enforce the "consolidated wiki ruleset". Frankly, I dont have the time for that. Any takers?
