So right now we try to group all SOPs like this: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/SOP/SERVICENAME And to extract that information, we have to link to the Special:PrefixIndex page like this: [[Special:PrefixIndex/Infrastructure/SOP]] which takes the user to a search page that finds those SOPs. Categories in MoinMoin are more flexible than PrefixIndex. With categories, we can look at the Infrastructure SOPs directly by going to: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:Infrastructure_SOPs This is a page that we can add our own content to (unlike the Special:PrefixIndex page) so we can use it as an end user visible page if we want. (Category:Infrastructure_SOPs is this way. Category:SOPs currently is not so pretty). We can also have multiple categories per page. For instance: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/ReleaseEngineering/StringFreezePolicy appears both on Category:Release_Engineering and Category:Localization We can also have hierarchical categories. Infrastructure SOPs and Release Engineering SOPs are both subcategories of: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:SOPs Currently we have to browse the tree of categories to see all the subcategory page but category flattening plugins exist. -Toshio
