Some MediaWiki concepts, and/or special pages needing extra consideration IMHO due to their need for naming conventions, potential for ambiguity and disagreement, and their visible nature as entry points: '''portals'''; '''overview pages'''; '''categories'''; '''contents'''.
  
I like the idea of trying to emulate Wikipedia and their organization to a large extent. So for example, the main page provides an easy access point, while providing simple access to higher level categories and the table of contents. A possible combination of higher level natural categories for drilling down (editing, programming, administration) are on the main design document page. Having access to data typically organized by wikis such as lists and categories forms a higher level category in Wikipedia.

If and when whatever top categories are established, it seems that overview sections and/or portals then provide a general introduction to the main subcategories and other areas covered.

"Data Source" within a SF has its own ID, is searchable and mostly just used in cases where reference not considered appropriate, e.g. if I uploads some of my own sounds or images or other data. --[[User:Maehr|MikeMaehr]] 14:38, 6 April 2012 (CDT)

Some MediaWiki concepts, and/or special pages needing extra consideration IMHO due to their need for naming conventions, potential for ambiguity and disagreement, and their visible nature as entry points: portals; overview pages; categories; contents.

If and when whatever top categories are established, it seems that overview sections and/or portals then provide a general introduction to the main subcategories and other areas covered. Probably best if some sort of consensus established before somebody decides to just do it. Then again... Also, I deleted earlier section from SFS website...--MikeMaehr 14:38, 6 April 2012 (CDT)
