* '''uk, ireland, europe, nz, australia, canada, asia, japan'''. Broad range to avoid too small a list. 'us' is assumed for everyone else. [mlo: which is annoying, but I don't see a non-annoying alternative.] I'd like 'us' to be added, would be prepared to do it manually. JRB [thomas: Have you considered 'usa' as an alternative to avoid confusion with 'us' as in 'us versus them'?]

* '''bid''' - A [[bid]] for a convention
 
* '''worldcon, eastercon, eurocon, canvention, westercon''' - For special major conventions, [[Worldcon]], [[Eastercon]], [[Westercon]], [[Eurocon]], [[Canvention]]. We need something for NZ and Australia. [mlo: I'd be inclined to limit this to Eastercon, Westercon and Worldcon as these are far more influential than the others. There are a *lot* of national conventions and we have to draw a line somewhere.  I'd not include Nasfic, either.). It is a matter of perspective, I think Aussies, New Zelanders and Canadians are proud of their natons. JRB
 
* '''conrunning''' - The mechanics of running a convention, famous incidents

* '''hoax''' - [[Hoaxes]]
 
* '''feud''' - [[Feuds]]
 
* '''media''' - non-written fandoms, tv, film, anime etc. [mlo: Note that to the extent that they have their own disconnected fandoms, they don't really belong here. (Though I wouldn't spend time deleting pages unless they conflicted with fannish pages.)]

* '''fanzine, apazine, perzine, newszine, prozine, semiprozine, newsletter, fanthology''' - Different sorts of fan publication, [[fanzine]], [[apazine]], [[perzine]], [[newszine]], [[prozine]], [[semiprozine]], [[newsletter]]

* '''publishing''' - The mechanics of producing books, fanzines etc, cf conrunning for cons. [mlo: This was an old idea when Fancy 3 was just starting; It no longer seems very compelling.] I like this one, it is a rabbithole of odd terms, and has plenty of entries. Could be a list at the end of a feature article, but it would be a big task to write that. JRB
 
* '''small_press''' - A small company that publishes things. See discussion at end.
 
  
* '''abomination''' - ?  [mlo: It's traditional for a few editorial remarks to creep in...]

* '''obscure_fact''' - ?  [mlo: This is in the category of "it seemed like a good idea at the time".  The idea was to tag things people just browsing might find amusing.  We should discuss whether it retains enough value.]
 
* '''catchphrase''' - ?  [mlo: Sadly, no longer much used.  It //used// to be a [[proud and lonely thing to be a fan]].]
 
* '''obsolete''' - ? [mlo: I think this may still be useful. It designates usages, mainly, which are obsolete.  Let's discuss, as it might be as useful turned into something like '''Obsolete''' at the top of the definition.]
 
* '''food''' - food and drink [mlo: mildly amusing, but otherwise of dubious value]
 
* '''first_fandom''' - [[First Fandom]] [mlo: Keep.  This is our founding generation and I want to give them special recognition.  They are people who committed [[fanac]] before WW II]

* '''initialisism''' - Things referred to by their initials
 
* '''penname''', '''nickname''' - Former as authors, latter as people [mlo: Is this a useful distinction? It's clear enough, but is it useful?] Pennames for pros should be invisible redirects. Nicknames for fans have some interest, but again would better be part of the fan's main page. So I think its clutter and would remove it. JRB

=====Changes made=====
+
People should be in at least one of these 3 categories
 +
* '''[[:Category:Fan|Fan]]''' - Someone with an amateur interest in fandom. They pay to do it.  This category is ''not'' used to designate fan organizations; just people.
 +
* '''[[:Category:Pro|Pro]]''' - Someone with a professional interest. Author, publisher, actor, artist, illustrator, journalist, academic etc. They get paid to do it. Someone can be both a fan and a pro.  This category is ''not'' used to designate professional organizations; just people.
 +
* '''[[:Category:Mundane|Mundane]]''' - Someone outside of the SF community, like a scientist or actor (scientists who are fans do not get the Mundane category also.)
  
* Get rid of ted tag. JRB [mlo: agree]
+
Conventions will be given a subcategory automatically based on their <nowiki>{{convention}}</nowiki> contents. '''Do not add them manually'''
* The statuette, author, bibliographer, historian, and fantasy tags have very few members, and should go. JRB  [mlo: agree]
+
* '''[[:Category:Conseries|Conseries]]''' - The master page for a convention series
* Merge perzine tag into fanzine. JRB  [mlo: agree.  I wonder if clubzine is a distinction worth keeping?]
+
* '''[[:Category:Onetimecon|Onetimecon]]''' - For conventions that only ran once
* Remove tag email. JRB [mlo: agree]
+
* '''[[:Category:Inseries|Inseries]]''' - Conventions as part of a series
* '''collector''' - [[Collector]]  [mlo: drop]
 
* Remove editor tag, splitting into fan or pro. Too many people edit as part of other things. JRB [mlo: agreed]
 
* Get rid of tag audio, it has 4 members, and no-one thinks to use it. JRB [mlo: agree]
 
* '''lovecraft''' - [mlo: I'm not sure there's enough Lovecraft to warrant it]. JRB delete it
 
* '''statuette''' - Sculpture [mlo: really? Are there ever going to be enough of them? Are they interesting enough?] Deleted. JRB
 
* '''audio''' - [mlo: what is this?  Is there enough to be worth keeping given that we have fancast?]. Deleted JRB
 
* Publisher tag removed from people, publisher link added if important. JRB
 
* Add conrunning tag for articles about how conventions are organised, and memories on how they went. Reserve the convention tag for the event itself. JRB.
 
  
=====Discussion=====
+
Publications should be one of
 +
* '''[[:Category:APA|APA]]''', '''[[:Category:Fanzine|Fanzine]], [[:Category:Apazine|Apazine]], [[:Category:Newszine|Newszine]], [[:Category:Fanthology|Fanthology]]''' - Different sorts of fan publications.  Regardless of type (newszine, etc) pubs in any of these categories should also be tagged as a ''fanzine''.
 +
*'''[[:Category:Prozine|Prozine]], [[:Category:Semiprozine|Semiprozine]]'''
 +
*'''[[:Category:Book|Book]]''' - A notable book, series of books, song book, or a short story, length is not an issue, format is.
 +
* '''[[:Category:Bibliography|Bibliography]]''' - A list of books, fanzines, prozines, etc.
  
JRB for ideas liked by John Bray, MLO by Mark Olsen
+
==Descriptive categories==
  
* New tags need approval from Mark. JRB
+
People can also be '''Artist''' - Anyone who produces [[art]], including video.
* I wonder if clubzine is a distinction worth keeping MLO. Possibly JRB [mlo: Let's keep it for now then.]
+
 
* Merge semiprozine into prozine, they are both sold, even if one loses money! JRB  [mlo: I'm not sure. There are so damn many of the semiprozines.]
+
All pages can be one of these
* Writing courses like Clarion should be conventions, not clubs. JRB [mlo: They're repeated annually with different people. Neither tag is perfect, but they "feel" a bit more like a convention.]
+
* '''[[:Category:Abomination|Abomination]]''' - It's [[traditional]] for a few editorial remarks to creep in
* For something in a category that's too common to be in the main index, add a leading underscore. So while Boskone is a 'convention', Boskone 14 is a ''''_convention'''', Hugo is an 'award', 2008 Best Novel Hugo is an ''''_award''''. JRB  [mlo: I see a good case for this, but let's discuss it a bit more first.  What do we do when we have something like most Eastercons that ought to have both "convention" and "_convention"?] Eastercons should have tag eastercon and not convention, can we think of other examples where Con X is particularly important? JRB
+
* '''[[:Category:Catchphrase|Catchphrase]]''' - It ''used'' to be a [[proud and lonely thing to be a fan]].
* Add _admin tags to all redirection pages using "module redirection", or "(Did you mean ...". JRB  [mlo: let's discuss -- I don't understand the implications of this]
+
*'''[[:Category:Covid-19|Covid-19]]''' - Anyone or anything seriously and directly affected by the pandemic: deaths, cancellations, closures.  
* Add _admin tags to year pages. JRB  [mlo: let's discuss -- I don't understand the implications of this]
+
* '''[[:Category:Fancy1|Fancy1]]''', '''[[:Category:Fancy2|Fancy2]]''' - pages containing content from [[Fancyclopedia 1]] or [[Fancyclopedia 2]]
* Add a '''misc''' tag, just so every page has a tag, and we can check for omissions. JRB [mlo: let's discuss -- I don't understand the implications of this]
+
* '''[[:Category:Feud|Feud]]''' - [[Feuds]]
* Get rid of abomination and obscure_fact tags. JRB [mlo: I'd like to keep abomination ]
+
* '''[[:Category:Filk|Filk]]''' - [[Filk]] singing, includes people, conventions, groups, clubs -- [[stfnal]] only, please!
* Remove catchphrase tag, merge into fanspeak. JRB [mlo: let's discuss -- I'd like to look at the two categories in detail first]
+
* '''[[:Category:First fandom|First fandom]]''' - [[fans]] active prior to July 2, 1939
* Remove tag obsolete. JRB [mlo: let's discuss -- I'd like to look at the category in detail first]
+
* '''[[:Category:Food|Food]]''' - food and drink
* Remove tag websites, everything has a website. JRB [mlo: The idea was to tag pages //specifically// about websitesLet's review]
+
* '''[[:Category:Hoax|Hoax]]''' - [[Hoaxes]]
* Add tag '''project''', for all those fannish projects to archive, catalogue change the world etc. Would cover many websites like SF Encyclopedia etc, so could take over from website tag. JRB  [mlo: ??]
+
* '''[[:Category:Initialism|Initialism]]''' - Things referred to by their initials
* Work on pages with multiple meanings so we have no pages with incompatible tags merely because they share the same name. JRB [mlo: let's discuss -- I don't understand the implications of this]
+
* '''[[:Category:Media|Media]]''' - TV, film, anime, etc., and related entries
* Now tag collector has gone replace with backlinks from the [[Collector]] article. [mlo: agree.]  
+
* '''[[:Category:Notable|Notable]]''' - Specially important pages (in the opinion of the editors)
This could apply to all sorts of roles, editor, historian etc. JRB [mlo: let's discuss -- I don't understand the implications of this, though it sounds sensible]
+
* '''[[:Category:Obscure fact|Obscure fact]]''' - ?  [mlo: This is in the category of "it seemed like a good idea at the time". The idea was to tag things people just browsing might find amusingWe should discuss whether it retains enough value.]
* Publisher is currently half companies, half people. The latter is an anomalous role given we don't have editor etc. We could change publisher to '''press''' to be the counterpart to small_press, but its not a common term. It might be easiest to just ensure [[publisher]] is in people's descriptions, and have a backlink section as we do for editor, and not tag people. publishing_house/publisher is an alternative. JRB [mlo: I no longer think it makes sense for it to be a person -- there are far too many fanzines publishers! The question then becomes, does the remaining use warrant keeping it at all?]. I think we should rename small_press tag to be publisher, and keep the mainstream ones in that. They'd be overwhelmed, but that's good, and avoids our assessment. Get Thomas's view. JRB [thomas: tagging small presses with 'publisher' rather than 'small_press' makes sense to me. As for people, there is the borderline case of Graham Stone having published books as Graham Stone.][thomas: another alternative is '''imprint'''. It doesn't have quite the same meaning. A publisher may have multiple imprints. But users may tend to know publishers by their imprints rather than their business names (e.g., "Escape Publishing" rather than "Harlequin Australia", and "Tor" rather than "Tom Doherty Associates").]
+
* '''[[:Category:Obsolete|Obsolete]]''' - Designates [[fanspeak]] terms, mainly, and a few [[WSFS]] rules and other practices, which are now longer in common use, even among the dinosaurs of fandom.
* Change the novelty tags (food, catchphrase, nickname, obscure fact etc) into standalone pages prominent from the landing page. Obviously it would be nicer to have someone write on the history of nicknames, but we could just have the automatic backlist from a mention of the term. Not convinced that people finding one obscure fact would be hopping to others. JRB
+
*'''[[:Category:TED|TED]]''' - Entries related to ''[[The Enchanted Duplicator]]''.
* Either get rid of '''newszine''' (3 entries) and '''newsletter''' or populate them. Convention newsletters should really be folded into the con entries, the rest are just fanzines, which need to just reference [[newszine]] their text. JRB votes remove.
+
* '''[[:Category:Tolkien|Tolkien]]''' - people, clubs, conventions about [[J. R. R. Tolkien]]'s works.
 +
 
 +
==Admin==
 +
 
 +
* '''[[:Category:Details|Details]]''' Hidden category for high levels of detail, like [[1971 TAFF Race]] or [[1971 Best Novel Hugo|Best Novel Hugo]], to hide pages from Category lists
 +
* '''[[:Category:Hugos|Hugos]]''' - Pages about the [[Hugos]], categories, year summaries, but not at[[1970 Best Novel Hugo|Best Novel Hugo]] level
 +
* '''[[:Category:Fixme|Fixme]]'''
 +
* '''[[:Category:Admin|Admin]]'''
 +
* '''[[:Category:Mlo|Mlo]]''' - For Mark to fix
 +
* '''[[:Category:Nodates|Nodates]],[[:Category:Nofiles|Nofiles]],[[:Category:Nocountry|Nocountry]],[[:Category:Haswebsite|Haswebsite]],[[:Category:Haslink|Haslink]],[[:Category:Hasfiles|Hasfiles]]''' - mentions/omissions in templates
 +
* '''[[:Category:Redirect|Redirect]], [[:Category:Wikidot|Wikidot]]''' - redirections, the latter to handle old Wikidot names
 +
* '''[[:Category:List|List]]'''  - lists, which should not feature in cross-references
 +
* '''[[:Category:Multiple|Multiple]], [[:Category:Choice|Choice]]''' - Pages with multiple entries
 +
* '''[[:Category:IA|IA]]''' - pages about things active after 2001, so are more likely to have pages on the Internet Archive.
 +
* '''[[:Category:Located|Located]]''' - Has a locate= argument in a template
 +
* '''[[:Category:Validated|Validated]]''' - Part of a valid master category
