[capjamesg] What is uncategorized?
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "uncategorized" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "uncategorized is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
[capjamesg] How do we do redirects to/from British/American English terms?
#

tantek.com deleted /User:172.69.135.154 "how are people still creating User: pages with IP addresses? (actual User: page was created and nothing here that wasn't there so ok to delete this rather than redirect)"
#
[tantek] [capjamesg] IIRC we have not had a discussion of en-US vs en-GB spellings on the indieweb wiki (re: /uncategorised)
#
[tantek] The W3C settled on US English spellings per https://www.w3.org/guide/manual-of-style/#Spelling «W3C uses U.S. English (e.g., "standardise" should read "standardize" and "colour" should read "color").» in case you wondered why all those terms in specs / web standards were in U.S. English.
#
[tantek] I don't have strong feelings about this either way especially for human readable content like page names — makes sense to allow / document whatever people use in their language
#
[tantek] if a bunch of people start publishing /uncategorized pages on their personal sites then we can debate renaming the /uncategorised page. Until then I support leaving it as-is, biased towards the only empirical example we have currently

[capjamesg] [tantek]++ for the comprehensive response.

#
[capjamesg] I like the idea of encouraging people to document using their native spelling.

tantek.com edited /tags (+711) "/* Machine Tags */ drop academic "predicate" language, use "property" which many more folks understand, also prior edit, they were never "triples" in the sense that RDF/SemWeb folks mean so don't call them that, more like meta tags" (view diff)
