Talk:Organised Editing/Activities

Replace with categories

As with the import catalog, this table appears to be comprehensive but isn't. There are two other language versions of this page that list their own distinct sets of activity proposals, apparently based on the language that the proposal's author speaks. It's good that we don't force these proposals to be written in English. But what if someone who speaks a different language needs to look up that proposal after the fact? I think it would be more useful to organize the proposals by the status, year, or affected area.

That would be a lot easier to do with a category system than a manually maintained table. As it is, many of the people who are responsible for writing these proposals have little experience with wiki editing, so we can't expect the table to remain well-organized by itself. But if we create an automatically categorizing template, as I've proposed for the imports process, then there should be much less maintenance overhead. As a first step, I've modified the preload for new proposals to sort into Category:Organised editing activities.

I think this is a very good idea, to organize and maintain the activities. I think they should be organized by regions (continents probably).This also allows the local communities to check new activities, divide global activities in regions (with local responsibles), and promote the inclusion of new activities. At least, in LatAm, very few people fill this, however, each country has several active activities. AngocA (talk) 02:44, 28 May 2023 (UTC)
