Talk:List of phrasebooks
From Wikitravel
[edit] Usable
I'm tempted to add a "usable" category between "complete" and "outline". There are a lot of phrasebooks here that have no content, just an outline, and then there are a bunch that have full pronunciation guides & most of the template translated, but with a few gaps. I think it would be useful to separate them. --Peter Talk 13:37, 25 March 2008 (EDT)
- Plunge forward! I'd set the baseline for usable at pronunciation guide + all of the initial section translated. Jpatokal 04:42, 26 March 2008 (EDT)
[edit] Category & List
I noticed there is this page, then there is also "Category:Phrasebooks". I'm not sure - do we need both? Could both prove useful? Army of me 16:44, 28 March 2009 (EDT)
- I see zero reason to have the category duplicate an inferior version of what is here organized neatly. Basically we weren't using the category until you came along just now and added tags to a bunch of articles. I'm of half a mind to revert all that until a consensus is reached.

- Yeah, adding the categories without discussing (or allowing the discussion to be concluded) is not really appropriate. I am for now going to revert these changes—it should be easy enough to undo this if we do indeed decide to use them. Please see Wikitravel_talk:Categories#Revisited_-_when_are_categories_OK? --Peter Talk 01:49, 28 March 2009 (EDT)
- That's fine with me, whatever is decided. I didn't create the category and only started adding the category tag to pages because I didn't know of the existence of the List of phrasebooks page yet (I thought I was being helpful). Army of me 16:44, 28 March 2009 (EDT)
[edit] phrasebook status
There seems to be an inconsistency in statuses between List of phrasebooks and Wikitravel:Phrasebook status: there's Complete/Outline/Stub in ListOf and a standard set of statuses in PhrbkStatus. Which of them should we stick to? --DenisYurkin 05:07, 20 September 2009 (EDT)
- Good point. I think it would be nice to switch to our standard article status system, described at Wikitravel:Phrasebook status. As of now, noone actually has tried to do the things required to make a phrasebook a star, since it's not too difficult to achieve that vague "complete" status. --Peter Talk 14:23, 20 September 2009 (EDT)
