:1. We would point to "internal articles" from the main page (it replaces CZ Live) until there is no more external articles. Arguably, we can not get rid of all external articles right now since some authors imported their own work from WP and declare the will to maintain it here; it may take some time to give them a chance. Maybe there will always be pretty many authors importing their WP work and thus there will always be some external articles awaiting improvement or deletion. | :1.

:2. Some intersections as e.g. "Biology approved" (or "Biology stubs") could be of interest and linked from the Workgroup page. I agree that a better way to do it is to have a tool that would list the intersection of any two categories. I have one, BTW, and will try to put it on-line.[[User:Aleksander Stos|Aleksander Stos]] 10:54, 15 August 2007 (CDT) | :2.

Discuss approval process
A key question is whether a new article starts on the draft page or whether it starts on the article page. The idea would be that ONLY approved article reside in the main article space, all unapproved article would live in the draft space. See Japan for an example of that set up. The main article redirects to the draft version in this case. One disadvantage is that each new article needs to have a draft page and draft talk page set up as well as redirects being placed for the main article and its talk page. In addition to the three key pages (approval, metadata and unused subpages) that means at least seven pages need to be startted for a new article.
The alternative is to have it as in the Test article not approved version where the draft version does not exist until the article is approved. This is how we do it now. In addition to the three key pages (approval, metadata and unused subpages) that five pages need to be started for a new article.
- Regarding the place for new edits, the draft page is more correct, the main article is more exciting. At the present stage I'd opt for the latter -- but open to change in the future. Is there a forum thread discussing this? Aleksander Stos 11:03, 15 August 2007 (CDT)
Discuss categories
Are all the categories used useful, do we want to prune? For example we could cut the checklist series.
- I just posted something to this end on the forum. Briefly, there are only two "generators" : Biology and "Approved" (BTW, "Advanced" should not be there at all). I'd like to prune as much as possible, but as of now at least some checklist-series categories seem to be useful.
- 1. We would point to "internal articles" from the main page (it replaces CZ Live) until there is no more external articles. Arguably, we can not get rid of all external articles right now since some authors imported their own work from WP and declare the will to maintain it here; it may take some time to give them a chance. Maybe there will always be pretty many authors importing their WP work and thus there will always be some external articles awaiting improvement or deletion.

Discuss use of sub-subpages
The subpages template can be used on sub-subpages. At present we have it set up for the subpage Tables, Timelines and Signed Articles. Which other subpage topic might require this feature?
Discuss use of watchlist category
Is it useful to have a category with all a workgroups related pages that can be used similar to a watchlist in conjuntion with related changes?
- We have maths articles tagged "Math Workgroup" and related changes show what happens within the workgroup. Yes, it's useful, if that was the question. Actually, I guess I don't understand it, since it is not possible to get rid of the basic Math tag. Maybe an example? Aleksander Stos 11:13, 15 August 2007 (CDT)
- Currently only the main article has the workgroup tag. It is possible to have this category (or a similar math watchlist one) on every subpage, the draft page and the talk page too. The advantage of this is that using "related changes" an editor or author can then see all recent changes that have occurred to pages of interest to the math workgroup. This would act like a watchlist that includes all the math related pages. This might be useful for monitoring edits in the workgroup as a whole. Chris Day (talk) 08:32, 21 August 2007 (CDT)
