Templates or Categories

This has been something that I've wondered about for a while... On pages like the Fuji FinePix V10 page we have a {{Fuji}} template at the bottom of the page. This is an idea that I started a while ago, but I wonder if it's a better idea to use categories rather than this kind of template. Any thoughts? --Lbstone 01:57, 21 January 2006 (EST)

I think both are good: categories are useful for some types of listings, and it would probably be good to have a Category for Fuji cameras, Canon cameras, and so on. On the other hand, templates allow you to have links to the most prominent articles on the same theme, for example the {{Olympus classic}} template (see Template:Olympus classic) acts like a menubar. --Rebollo fr 08:06, 21 January 2006 (EST)

Yeah, both seems fine. --Lbstone 13:28, 29 January 2006 (EST)

camera reviews

What about a list with sources of camera reviews?

I can't think of a good reason not to do this. I say give it a try and we'll see if it works. --Lbstone 13:27, 29 January 2006 (EST)

Pages to be deleted

I have created a list of Pages to be deleted, so anybody can put them there, with the reason why it should be deleted. --Rebollo fr 15:41, 30 January 2006 (EST)

Including Images in this Wiki

We need to have a clear statement about what licenses we require and how you're supposed to tag/include images in this wiki. Right now we're primarily hotlinking camera images from Flickr (which is fine to do), but I think we also need to give credit to the photographer in the case of Creative Commons licenses. We might want to see how the big Wikipedia handles all this. --Lbstone 15:02, 31 January 2006 (EST)
