I'm not entirely sure it is. It can take quite a bit of digging through the large "geographical" articles to find the sections on economy or education or the like (especially when it turns out to be under a confusing heading), and navigating down through the category structure can require a bit of browsing - especially if it has several hundred members. These seem to be a half-useful navigational "handlist" for a user. They're a bit clunky, but they do seem to fill a niche that might otherwise not be served very well; I really don't see how they're some kind of abomination that needs taken out and shot Right This Minute. -- - Andrew Gray [email protected] _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
