I would like to see topic tags. I.e. "physics", "chemistry", "article creation request", for instance.
Topic on Talk:Structured Discussions/Flow
We're definitely thinking about tags. How would you want to use them? What would they help you to do?
Tags would help physics wikiproject people to follow any physics topics on-wiki, for instance.
I believe tags are essentially what is being requested at this comment, too. Thread:Talk:Echo (Notifications)/JavaScript API
Just something interesting I've found while browsing the board for another thread purposes.
- How do I see and copy the wikitext of another person's comment?
- How to edit my previous IP messages ?
- Violation of the free editing Wiki principle
There should be some place to group them together... Ah, maybe I can add a category? Hm.
Bug 60510 - Flow: Categories added to Flow posts are invisible
How am I supposed to add categories or tags to these posts if I did not write them?
Gryllida: I was collecting topic compilations at Flow/Prior discussion-thread-roundup; I haven't been adding links as prolifically lately, but have been wanting to get back to it. If you'd like to help add major discussions there, anytime, that'd be wonderful. (But not everything. It's easy to go overboard, which creates more confusion in the end.) Each section is in reverse-chronological order, with main links at the top.
Discussions about Tags are collected there already (currently section 19).
Currently, categories aren't supported at all. That's bugzilla:58197 and bugzilla:57512
Presumably you would support categories, their proper display and filtering board by category though?
http://demo.gitlabhq.com/dashboard/issues and http://addons.mozilla.org's search results page have some interesting search result designs.
Yup, for category support. Template+Categories+bots are how all our existing workflows function, so it'll be needed for transitional support at a minimum.
Also, see Erik's discussing of tags in part #3 of this mailing list post.
Those are interesting search results pages, and are good hints of the things that might be possible with structured-discussions that have built-in automated metadata. :)
