Hi! Thanks for your tip in the Idea pump. I'm mainly interested in climate change stuff, and there was already an index, which just needed some updating. And voila! This works well! It could work better, of course. Do you know how to make the respective article talk page also appear? NewsAndEventsGuy (talk) 12:36, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
- Hi NewsAndEventsGuy, glad it helped :)
- The only way I know of, is the manual way: make a copy of the index in your userspace (or as a wikiproject sub-page*) and add links to the talkpages. That's what Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Mathematics/List of mathematics articles (0–9) does (see the source, for the invisible links to talkpages). They've got the process refined fairly well, as they use a bot to populate the index pages, all based on specified categories (per User:Mathbot/Mathbot and math articles). Eventually, I hope we'll get all the wikiprojects up to that standard, but that'll take time, and possibly some new methods... I'll comment about that at the WP:VPI#Followlist thread.
- *Tangentially, I've opined before, that indexes are the most difficult edge-case, and that what I think should happen to them is: The core list of keywords/terminology should grow into annotated-lists (glossaries) or structured-annotated-lists (outlines. e.g. Outline of meteorology); and the complete/exhaustive lists (indexes/indices) should migrate to wikiproject-space (as mathematics has done).
