Summary

Categorization provides navigation links to Wikipedia pages in the classification hierarchy. By using the basic defining features of a topic, readers can browse and quickly find the page set of topics defined by these features.
This article introduces the principles and guidelines for classifying articles and other content from several aspects, including Naming conventions, Creating category pages, Categorizing pages, Sort keys, Category tree organization, Category cleanup templates, Inappropriate categorization, etc.

Interesting Point

The organization of categories should make subcategories logically conform to the parent category.
A project can be in multiple subcategories of its parent class, which demonstrates the flexibility in the system. And subcategories can also have multiple parent categories. So to avoid a closed loop where a category is a subcategory of its subcategories, special attention needs to be paid to maintaining a clear hierarchical structure.

Discussion

What are the potential issues with placing templates in content categories like those for articles?

This emphasizes the dynamic and adaptable nature of the classification system and helps readers better understand how the classification system is designed and operates.

1.Summary   Remix culture is a culture that allows and encourages the creation of derivative works through the editing of existing material, challenges exclusive copyright restrictions, promotes the idea of remixing, and facilitates the free flow of creativity. In Remix, Lessig describes the shift from a read-only culture to a read/write culture, where the advent of digital technology has redefined the way culture is created and distributed in ways that facilitate the interactive relationship between producers and consumers and democratize the production of ideas and the distribution of content. The history of remix culture dates back to the 19th century, e.g.: according to American media scholar Henry Jenkins, but the balance between creation and consumption shifted with the advancement of analog recording and reproduction technologies.The analog era of the early 20th century, with its specialized creative equipment and cheap consumer devices, led to the strengthening of proprieta...

1.Summary   This article discusses the characteristics of open content communities and provides a detailed description using Wikipedia as an example. The author first uses the term "community" to describe interdependent groups of people who participate in discussions, decision-making, and share some practices that define communities. Then, the author proposes five characteristics of an open content community: open content, transparency, integrity, non discrimination, and non interference. Although some of these features provide clear boundaries, such as copyright licenses for open content and forking ability, other features such as transparency, integrity, and non discriminatory social values do not provide equally clear boundaries. The author emphasizes that exploring these characteristics helps to understand the background and values in community discussions.   The article then provides a detailed introduction to the origins of the free and open source software movement and...

W1.1 Intro class: intro to class, blog, wiki and other assignments——CHENG SHIYI

1. Summary  I have taken classes from you, the professor, before and have always been interested in Wikipedia, so I chose to take your class this semester regardless. I understand from your introduction to all the courses in the lecture that this semester's Collective Intelligence in Practice course is centered around Wikipedia, which I understand is an encyclopedia that anyone can edit, and that Wikipedia brings together knowledge from around the world. One of the quotes in your course syllabus is that Technocrati's chief technologist says that soon "Wiki-knowledge will be a required job skill." Wikipedia, a non-profit encyclopedic website, is ranked among the top 5 most popular websites in the world, all thanks to a little bit of contribution from volunteers in the world. I see from this that the Collective Intelligence in Practice program understands Collective Intelligence on the Internet through Wikipedia from a sociological perspective. There are many ways to s...
