Summary: useful feature request
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: General/Unknown
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
A little something called "wiki-competing-topics" i.e. find related competing
material
so for example if i know about nlp (Neuro-linguistic programming), i can find
it on a wikipedia. you see the topic of nlp and related "SEE ALSO" subject are
linked these are supporting links to the article.
however i think it should also have a section for --- competing subjects ---,
containing subjects that EXTENDS a topic, is a SUPER-SET (or CONTAINS) or
SUBSET of a topic, things that PRECEDES/POST-CEDES a topic. also opposite ideas
or beliefs of a topic (like a antonym) Rather than the thesaurus of SEE ALSO
I'm not saying these should be the only categories, but a starting point for
debate internally and externally.
i would really for example like to find about "action learning" from the nlp
page action learning is very similar to nlp. nlp is distributed in psychology
books,and action learning is a biz-ness- self help idea, it is hard to get from
one to the other. Wikis can make it easy
The benefit is that you could also have greater insight into a subject, and
find better ones easily. i.e. better educate people not 1 article/topic at a
time but many topics at a time.
This would be a great reference tool for everyone from bloggers to business to
students and academia to researchers and the normal everyday user.
