Things to do:

  • Decide about infoboxes.
  • Possibly create template or syntax for Wikipedia links, company statements, sysop messages.
  • Add more to documentation as indicated below.
  • Need another category for people who are employed full-time or not working professional, but do motion graphics work.

Observations following Motionographer post

People are adding categories such as "Design", "Compositing", and "After Effects" to their Freelancer or Company pages, but those (for the time being) are designated for other types of articles. They are also creating new categories such as "VFX" and "Post production".

People are also adding categories for their country as opposed to their city.

Perhaps very small cities that probably only have one company in them don't need their own location category. Many of the pages consist of locations that probably wont' have much information.

People are also using their user pages sort of as their freelance page (and categorizing them, which does no good) - this is confusing and should be clarified.

Categories

I've set up some basic categories to start with. They should encompase alot of topics. For pages that don't fit into those topics, the users can create one or simply leave it without a category and rely on the search or interwiki links to bring someone to the page. I'd rather have it not categorized than categorized in a sloppy or inaccurate way.

Page or heading?

I've found that some of the page titles listed on the Main Page probably shouldn't have their own page (yet) and could be a heading under another page. For example, until there's enough information to fill a page called "Owner", this can be a heading on a page called "Motion_graphics_careers" or something. But topics like "Freelance" might warrant their own page.

Being both a encylopedia and a directory.

How do we distinguish between "notable individuals" and "freelancers" (who aren't notable)? One possibility is to create a seperate "freelancer" namespace, which would be able to be search independently from the rest of the pages. Perhaps a "notable freelancers" category can be assigned to freelancers like Saimin Chow.

Termonology - Article, Entry, Page?

In help documentation and discussion it's easier to be consistant on termonology about the contents of mographwiki. I think we should call the "pages" because not everything is going to be an ecylopedia-style "entry" or even more so an "article".
