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 an overview of all categories, see https://beta.mgh.de/databases/clavis/wiki/index.php/Special:Categories To add a page to a category, simply insert the relevant tag, beginning "[[Category:...". Note that this text is invisible in the normal view (but one can see it if you edit a page).
Manuscripts
- Collections: You can tag all manuscripts of a certain collection by placing them in the appropriate category. Use Use
[[Category:Manuscripts of XY]]where 'XY' is the Clavis key for the collection in question. See here for the list of keys. - Date: Use
[[Category:Manuscripts 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. - Digitization wishlist: 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
To do:
- Categories can be structured (category tree). Same for dates.
Collections
- Date: Use
[[Category:Collections 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"; if possible use the most specific tag from this list of all categories for collections by region.
- 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:Collections not in Clavis database]]and[[Category:Descriptions that need to be split]], respectively.
- 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]]
- To do: Categories for local/influential/very influential collections? Based on mss numbers (?)
