General
Categories are useful to extract information from the Wiki, and for the reader to find relvant material. This page documents the categories used, and how to use them. Of course everyone is free to come up with new categories, but it would be nice to document major changes here.
- For a list of all categories, see https://beta.mgh.de/databases/clavis/wiki/index.php/Special:Categories
- For a shorter overview of some of the more useful categories, see https://beta.mgh.de/databases/clavis/wiki/index.php/Some_Useful_Categories
- To add a page to a category, simply insert the relevant tag, beginning "[[Category:...".
Manuscripts
- Copies of specific Collections: You can tag all manuscripts of a certain collection by placing them in the appropriate category. Use Use
[[Category:Manuscript of XY]]where 'XY' is the Clavis key for the collection in question. See here for the list of keys. - Date: Use
[[Category:Manuscript saec XII]]to tag manuscripts written in the twelfth century, and so on. More precise dates can and should be given in the description, the categories help to get an overview. - Place of origin: You can add manuscripts to geographical categories (
[[Category:Manuscript from ...]]) using general terms like "Southern Europe", modern country names, or a number of regions like "Northern France"; if possible use the most specific tag from this list of all categories for manuscript by region. - Is the MS digitized? If so, tag it by inserting
[[Category:Digitized Manuscripts]]in the manuscript description page. If you want to see all mss in the category, have a look here: Category:Digitized Manuscripts. If a manuscript is not digitized, you can add[[Category:Manuscripts not Digitized]]. Adding a date for this finding can be useful. If a MS is not digitized but in your opinion urgently should be digitized, add[[Category:Wishlist MSS Digitization]]! The wishlist is here: Category:Wishlist MSS Digitization - New: Manuscripts not mentioned in the 2005 Clavis handbook can and should be put in the
[[Category:New Manuscripts]].
Collections
- Date: Use
[[Category:Collection saec X]]to tag collections compiled in the tenth century, and so on. - Place of origin: You can add collections to geographical categories (
[[Category:Collection from ...]]) using general terms like "Southern Europe", modern country names, or a number of regions like "Northern France". Please copy the apprpriate line (i.e. all three tags) from this list of all categories for collections by region; add more specific categories if you like. - Issues Some article may have issues you cannot fix at once. Use categories to make other users aware of the problem(s):
- Some descriptions refer to collections not yet contained in the database or, more frequently, to more than one collection in the database. Tagging these pages helps to improve the wiki. Use
[[Category:Collection not in Clavis database]]and[[Category:Descriptions that need to be split]], respectively. - Information missing:
[[Category:Category:Collection taq is unknown/missing]][[Category:Category:Collection tpq is unknown/missing]][[Category:Collection of which the date is unknown/missing]],[[Category:Collection of which the place of origin is unknown/missing]] - All or most categories are missing:
[[Category:Descriptions lacking categories]] - Something else is wrong (please say what in the discussion):
[[Category:Articles with known issues - All these categories are in the category Category:Articles with known issues; so if you are looking for articles that ned fixing, have a look there. In some cases, the articles can be improved without much effort.
- Some descriptions refer to collections not yet contained in the database or, more frequently, to more than one collection in the database. Tagging these pages helps to improve the wiki. Use
- The database entries are based on modern editions (i.e. more or less critical editions 19th/20th c.), early printed books (including Migne's Patrologia), or manuscripts. Use
[[Category:Clavis entries based on modern edition]],[[Category:Clavis entries based on early printed books]], and[[Category:Clavis entries based on manuscript]]. - Depending on size, use one of the following tags:
[[Category:very small (less than 100 canons) collection]][[Category:small (100 to 500 canons) collection]][[Category:medium (500 to 1000 canons) collection]][[Category:large (1000 to 2000 canons) collection]][[Category:very large (more than 2000 canons) collection]]
- Collections added to since the 2005 edition are "new":
[[Category:New Collection]]
