--- Comment #9 from Neil Kandalgaonkar <[email protected]> 2010-07-13 18:43:46 UTC --- Lupo: could you explain what the use cases are for hierarchically browsing categories? At least the way I'm using HotCat, it seems to be easier to enter a category, then replace it with a category found by traversing the "up" or "down" directions. But I'm assuming that the point is not to replace categories, but somehow indicate that there could be more general and less general choices. I'm wondering if an "ipod" style drilldown menu is actually the better choice, although without writing new API methods, this involves more AJAX requests to figure out which categories have sub and super-cats. http://www.filamentgroup.com/lab/jquery_ipod_style_drilldown_menu/ The other problem is that it almost feels like one ought to be able to create a new category as a subcategory of another. That is, if I browse to "Animals -> Felines -> Felix lolcatus" I should be able to add "Felix lolcatus canhazcheeseburger". Currently, Categories can be spontaneously created, but not with hierarchical relations. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
