WIKI seperated in versions of MicroStation?

In the last days I see much new articles about several versions of Microstation in the WIKI.

Many of the articles seam to be copied from the Ask Inga site.

The problem is that many of the Ask Inga articles are written for Microstation 95, SE or J.

In my opinion the articles should be up to date for Microstation XM or Athens or not placed in the WIKI.

Perhaps the WIKI should be separated in versions of Microstation.

  • I agree with Thomas, tagging and filtering would do fine

    MicroStation 08.11.09.829
    MicroStation Connect Update 11
    ProjectWise 08.11.11.590
    LumenRT Update 11

  • Harry certainly has a point that Wiki posts that are specific to a version of MicroStation (and I've noticed that many of the AskInga articles are relevant only to certain versions) should indicate that.

    I don't think there necessarily needs to be a separate article for each version of MicroStation (or whatever product to which it refers), since many articles will apply to multiple versions.

    Tagging is good too, but I think we should adapt some kind of convention for product-related articles listing the versions to which they apply.

    Of course the great thing about the Wiki is that YOU can update and add this information if you know it. PLEASE DO! Your fellow MicroStationologists will thank you...

    This is a test  

  • Tagging was easy to say. But thinking a bit of it there are problems. Just tagging versions with what? 8,9 or XM or v8 etc.

    Saying "this is a wiki - you can do it yourself" is ducking  the problems. Sure we can do it IF THERE IS A STRUCTURE TO DO IT IN. Everything else will be caos.

    Wikipedia has "categories" - would solve the issue - but can it be done in be.org?

    MicroStation on English Wikipedia is tagged with four categories; Categories: Computer-aided design software | Windows software | 3D graphics software | CNC, CAD, and CAM

    And the more I think of this - the more I believe we also need "discussion" pages. First to put up suggestions, find concensus or just proof reading.  Second people surely hesitate going into a askinga-page and do edits directly.

  • For all tense and purposes, tags == categories == tags, so there is no <ducking the problems> there.

    As the need for wiki topic discussions emerge, we will pursue options. For the time being, the most appropriate Forum seems most suitable for that.
