How it works
NoMansSky Index is a top-level Cat for holding the subCats used for the Index's automatic lists (#ask calls):
- Example:
{{#ask:[[Category:NMS-Index-AMUMSS]]|mainlabel=-|?|format=ul|sep=|class=list-unstyled}}
Adding or removing a subCat will add or remove the page from the "All content" lists on the Index page. This is the extent of the automation for the Index. The remainder of the links are manually added.
So pages are not "double listed", both manually and under "All content", simply remove the Cat from the page, thus removing it from the auto-list.
NOTE
Everyone involved is aware having an Index page, such as this, adds manual maintenance. There are better ways to accomplish this, however, not in an 'Index' format, as is being requested.Step's "compromise" to this maintenance is the auto-listed content under the "All content" subheadings...users can add the correct Cats/Properties to still have their content listed without having to worry about the Index, itself. Curators can take care of the Index at their leisure.
New Properties
- NMS_AllCats
- Holds all categories for NMS for use in the displaying of categorized data on pages under the NMS namespace
- type=Text
- strictly "allowed values"
The name is flexible, but I prefer things named for what they do. This helps anyone looking at things to more quickly understand what it's for.
Using Properties
Properties are applied to pages, just like Cats. Calls are made by using category+property to narrow down content to specific subjects.
Example: Cat:Index + Property:NMS_Entity = lists all pages with the Index category and the Entity property
New Categories
- Uncategorized
- Holds pages that are uncategorized due to users unsure of which category or properties to use for the new page. A new "maintenance" page will be created to list all of these pages. From there, the curators can quickly view pages that need require attention for proper categorization.
