I would think that somewhere there's a heated discussion on this..
probably archived somewhere in meta. However if there isn't, or it's
dated and disorganized then I'd be willing to participate.
My angle is a huge amount of "knowledge" with only a few users (mostly
just me). I hate categories, and try to avoid lists, but string
things together with small lists, searchability and breadcrumb links.
I am in a situation where the more different ways to find the things the
better. I found that one of the most exciting things about MW is that there
are many different ways to find the information. You like the self-made
lists and searches, which we also use. However, we manage over 1000 pieces of
equipement so we need to quickly find everything related to a particular
topics, so the categories are important. What I really like is being about to
simply type the name of the article in the URL (even without the underlines)
and it will find the correct article. (or allow you to create it right
there).
regards,
jimmo
