Notes
Some preliminary design notes on using MediaWiki Categories to manage the store topic links.
The basic idea is that we would designate a set of Categories for use in the store "topics" pages. The categories to be used would probably be designated by some sort of prefix on the category name, like 'vtopic'... so a topic which would be displayed as "Stuff and Things" would have the page name "Category:vtopic:Stuff and Things".
Probably going to abandon the numeric topics, and have aliases. Old-style number-topics will be redirected to new-style names. Aliases and alternate spellings will be redirected the same way.
So, for example: topics/1367/ (subject -> dates):
- looks up a page called Category:vtopic:1367
- that page contains "#redirect [[Category:dates]]"
- [[Category:dates]] contains... (to be defined)
Tables
Relevant bits of existing MediaWiki tables:
page
| page_id | Autonumber | |
| page_namespace | int | 14 = categories |
| page_title | str | name of page, not including namespace prefix |
| page_restrictions | flags | |
| page_counter | int | possibly number of edits? |
| page_is_redirect | flag | includes #redirect |
| page_is_new | flag | |
| page_random | float | used for "Random page" |
| page_touched | date/time | when page last saved? |
| page_latest | ||
| page_len |
pagelinks
| pl_from | int | |
| pl_namespace | int | index to hard-coded namespaces array |
| pl_title | string | name of target page? |
