MediaWiki talk:BelgiumRegions

I'm not sure about this. I'd rather just use the feature for doing housekeeping stuff, not for stuff that's actually part of the articles.

I realize that it saves effort and typing, and can be used to make helpful stuff that's not scary.

But here's the reasons I don't want to do it:


 * There's actual content in there that someone might need to edit. It's really hard to figure out where to edit what.
 * It makes it really hard to copy articles around, off the server.

So, I'd rather not.

I want to have a solution for this that's more general, by the way. You should just be able to put region=Flanders into a city page, or country=Italy for a region page, and all the hierarchy stuff gets figured out automatically, with bread-crumb links:


 * Italy > Tuscany > Turin

So, I don't want to get in the habit of doing these MediaWiki things by hand.

 * Thanks for your input on this, Evan. Yes, if it could get automated that would be really nice. I'll leave my 3 tests for a few days in case it sparks an idea with somebody else. (WT-en) DhDh 13:45, 6 Mar 2004 (EST)
