Wiki Categories

At Elevator Up, we have quite a bit of information that we need to constantly organize. Not only does this information need to stay organized but managed by a multiple people.

So a wiki has been introduced into the company. It’s something that has always made sense but it’s a tool that I (1) didn’t really know how to manage and (2) didn’t like the lack of good organization that I was seeing while we began to enter information into it.

So, tonight I made it my mission to figure out how to best organize some things on our internal wiki. I started by adding some of our web clients but then quickly realized it was going to take awhile to keep these organized.

I’d like to introduce WIKI Categories. This is an awesome little feature that I am now taking FULL advantage of. All you need to do is put the following tags at the bottom of your page.

[[Category:Web Clients|Mast Heating]]

This places all of our web clients into a category called “Web Clients” and then organizes it under “M” because I said “Metro Health”.

[[Category:Hosting Clients|Mast Heating]]

This does the same thing as above but also places it within the “Hosting Clients”

The results of this creates a nicely organized list of pages in a category (example on MediaWIKI
