Using tags in the wiki

Talk about Documentation
1

@vgaetera Before you put too much work into adding tags to wiki pages...

We already came to the conclusion some while ago, that we do not want to use tags any more in the wiki

The tag plugin is still active, since we imported the devicepages from the old wiki, and they had already tags on them.

Apart from those usages, tags should not be used for navigating to wiki pages.
Create separate overview or index pages instead where you link to pages regarding a certain topic.

Let's clarify the situation.

This rule raises some questions:

  • Why tags to articles are not allowed?
  • Is there a technical problem with tags?
  • What kind of issues adding tags to articles may result in?

Depending on the answer, we have the following options:

  • Allow tags globally.
  • Allow tags selectively.
  • Prohibit tags globally.

Todo:

  • Correct the wiki guidelines in an unambiguous way according to the approach we choose.
  • Replace the rule on the tags page with the link to the guidelines to avoid redundancy.
  • Explicitly list the namespaces where tags are allowed if we allow them selectively.
  • Prohibit and remove tags from other namespaces.

If we decide to adopt the selective approach, what would be the best solution to group the how-to articles?

Reasons (from Creating Device Pages in LEDE Wiki - #8 by bobafetthotmail)

  • Tag systems tend to fill up with total nonsense tags
    [comment tmomas: as a wiki admin I can confirm this]
  • Tags are another layer of maintenance required for very little gain.
  • Because really, why tags in a wiki, we have links, text search.
    [comment tmomas: linking needs to be improved]
  • Tags kinda make sense for image-based sites where you need to categorize images, but here... nope. [comment tmomas: we use tags this way when we tag devicepages with hardware related tags]

More reasons

  • linking pages is better than tagging: linking creates backlinks, i.e. it creates a direct relation between pages, which tagging does not
  • tags lead to simple uncommented lists, where a page with some guiding comments would be better

Even in this incomplete check I see a lot of

  • superfluous tagging, since the pages are already in a namespace that provides the same functionality as the tag
  • tagging instead of proper linking
    .

Yes please! :slight_smile:

  • Hardware related information (toh, docs:techref)
  • FAQ (playground:faq; still experimental)
  • Status
    • page status WIP (wikiwide)
    • device status WIP, unsupported (toh)
  • maybe something else I forgot right now...

For example, create a manual "How to" page, e.g. https://oldwiki.archive.openwrt.org/doc/howto/start#openwrt_howtos where you link to already existing howtos

Regarding OpenVPN tag: You can make e.g. https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/services/vpn/openvpn/start the place where to find all OpenVPN related stuff. Feel free to use the automatic listing of pages or not, and feel free to link to other wiki pages from there.

The main reason to have tags in normal articles is that it allows multiple categorizations.
This can be useful, as some topics do have different categories at the same time.

But it requires someone to add them all over the place, and it's another thing you can bet any contributor will never do, so someone has to tag new stuff.

It would also need some way to show the user how to use them to find stuff.

They are mostly already grouped by namespace, and that's what I would suggest, as we can then drop pages like the one linked by tmomas that will automatically list all articles in that namespace.

Unless there is something special, I would just remove the tags from most articles as unnecessary complexity.

I think, I cleaned up most of redundant tags.
Could you update the list, so we can see what's left to do.

@vgaetera Take care: Those provide different functionality and are not equivalent!

{{tag>​bcm63xx bcm6348 gpio}}
{{tagpage>​bcm63xx bcm6348 gpio|The list of related devices}}

same for these two, not the same functionality:

{{tag>​FastEthernet no_switch 0NIC 1NIC 0WNIC 1WNIC Serial ARM devboard Cortex-A7 Cortex-A8 ARMv7 sunxi}}
{{tagpage>​FastEthernet no_switch 0NIC 1NIC 0WNIC 1WNIC Serial ARM devboard Cortex-A7 Cortex-A8 ARMv7 sunxi |The list of related devices}}

  1. How about this way?

  2. Is the tag missing, can we add it?

  3. Do we need both toh and tag links?

10

I'm not sure what is going on with the how-to link test page you are making in the playground.
Pretty much all articles in the user-guide namespace are a how-to or a "tutorial" in one way or another as they tell what to install and to configure to get X working.

Imho the "how-to" tag is redundant and was carried on from the old wiki where you had actually "how-to" as a type of article.

11

I think, there's no point for articles.

First, we already have infoboxes:

Second, we have an inbox and a playground:

Finally, WIP is a permanent state for most of the wiki articles:

  • Adding new features and protocols.
  • Providing missing information.
  • Removing obsolete features and protocols.
  • Cleaning duplicate and irrelevant information.
  • Fixing mistakes, typos and formatting.
