Currently, Pablo is working on a series of āstubā uploads. Basically, he has a lot of fleshed-out articles done, but those link to articles he hasnāt finished, so weāre uploading articles/ātags to stand in for those. This will ensure that the fleshed-out articles arenāt full of broken links.
These are searchable on the Forum, but they arenāt visible on the āAll Tagsā page because Iāve made them āWiki onlyā for now (so as not to clutter the page/ātag selection tool).
Once the fleshed-out articles are uploaded, Iāll create a new page that makes everything easier to find, and many articles will become tags. At this point, Iād guess we have at least 100 stubs uploaded to the Forum.
So would the the final version of this would that the wiki is essentially a bunch of tags? So. e.g. the tag for certificates of impact has an article-length description (written by Pablo) ?
The Wiki would take the form of a bunch of tags, but a tag can be of any length and use all Forum formatting, so the articles should be flexible.
Many initial tags/āarticles will have long descriptions, but many others wonāt. When Pablo finishes uploading the first batch of long descriptions, weāll do a lot of advocacy on the Forum for people to start treating the tags as a Wiki and making lots of updated. This might involve prizes or something like that, but I donāt expect the launch to happen for a couple of months, so I donāt have details to share yet.
Echoing what Vaidehi said, I think itās somewhat unusual for a wiki to be built into a tag system, so Iād like to advocate for seeing if thereās a way to make it more intuitive and less confusing, ideally in a way that doesnāt require explaining/ātutorials but is immediately obvious to users. Perhaps the solution could be to simply to use the term āwikiā instead of ātagsā in most places.

Here are some examples of stubs:

Thanks Aaron this is helpful!

Iām a bit confused :)

I think the changes will be less confusing once we have:
A full post outlining whatās happening
All of Pabloās wiki content imported and available to read
Weāre still figuring out some timelines, but I expect (1) to happen within two weeks, and to contain information on the timing of (2).
I do expect us to move to a term like āwikiā or āconceptsā instead of ātagsā in many places once weāre further along in the project.
