Minutes
Organizational Tools of MediaWiki
- https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Categories
- https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Subpages
- https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Namespaces
Rough plans for using these tools with our wiki
Thoughts on the wiki organization: I think we'll have basically 4 different types of content: Meeting minutes, Tools, How To (not tool related), and Misc.
Meeting minutes already has a namespace Minutes:.
I suggest we add a Tool: namespace and a HowTo: namespace.
I think basically anything that exists physically in the space is a tool of some sort - even if it just kind of loosely falls into that category (cleaning supplies are still probably tools).
In most cases I think tool articles should be fairly generic - like, Tool:Laser Cutter as opposed to Tool:My Fancy Laser Cutter Brand 3000
In cases where we have a few different kinds of a particular tool, and we want to list tool specific things, I think we should use subpages, like Tool:CNC Machine/Shapeoko and Tool:CNC Machine/Roland. But the idea would be to make it main tool page (Tool:CNC Machine) as useful as possible.
In the case of the HowTo: namespace it would contain pretty much any kind of procedure for doing something (other than running a tool) at the space.
HowTo:Be A Good MemberHowTo:Run A ShiftHowTo:Schedule an EventHowTo:Use The Wiki
I think that covers basically everything I can think of that needs to be on the wiki, but we still have the main namespace for generic stuff, like maybe bylaws, organizational documents, and other things.

Thoughts from other folks in the meeting
Nora mentions i3 and landing pages - how do we make our landing page easier/better. Ours is busy and it's hard to find relevant information.
Sarah mentions the sidebar - how do we customize this to put links in there that are relevant to our members and the general public. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Interface/Sidebar
Action Items
