I wonder if there's a way we can make the distinction more obvious, and
steer people appropriately.
I'm thinking to help visitor understand what kind of page they are visiting, maybe the
theme, maybe just background colors, change for that. Similarly, if you look at fp.o, the
different sections of the site have a different color (bugs = purple, features = orange,
etc.). If we tagged/organized the wiki and broke it down in the 3 mentioned target
audiences (docs, communication and ideas), maybe we change the background to a different
color. Now to note that a page is an archive or older page, maybe we use a separate color
for that all together.
The other thought is to better organize the wiki navigation (somehow) to help naturally
steer folks in the right direction, instead of having to resort to a search engine.
- I have been working on taking old and outdated information for the teams and putting
them into an Archived-title relating to that info. That way a user is presented with the
most up to date info on wiki page. If they want to see previous information the link to
the archived info is available for them.
- I am not an admin on the wiki page, so I can not see templates. but I have seen a few
companies wiki's that I have done work for in my day job have different colors. This
could be something that would be helpful.
- This is a result of pages not being categorized correctly or not even in a category. As
I have been updating the wiki I have been putting pages in the correct category or marking
which ones do not have a category.
