Categories: HowTo x Learning:Instructions

It seems that the Learning::Instructions Category somehow becomes HowTo. If you click on the link the title of the page will say "articles in HowTo". I can't tell know if the title is wrong or the link.

http://developer.qt.nokia.com/wiki/Category:HowTo

http://developer.qt.nokia.com/wiki/Category:Learning::Instructions

Just tried to edit the page and it is a redirection to the howto. Learning\Instructions sounds a too vague for me to start with, shouldn't we just remove it?

@#REDIRECT [[Category:HowTo]]@
This write in Category:Learning::Instructions page. It is redirect. All is ok

fcrochik

I don't think is OK. It is unnecessary and confusing. I don't even know what "Instructions" should mean. Instructions for life, for Qt development, for the web site, for ... ? By the Learning I could even go further and assume it is "instructions on how to learn" :)

maybe they should make something like #DEPRECATION ;)

Yeah something like that, because it's a little wierd to have a strikethrough link on the Wiki homepage even it's a mistake or temprary or anything else, and this issue is really confusing...

fcrochik

I would just remove the "instructions" link from the page but didn't want to take action without some feedback.

After all, someone decided that was a good "category" to have and went through the trouble to make it a redirection to howtos.

vsorokin

fcrochik I would just keep all as now, It don't disturb IMHO.

Vasiliy:
I don't see the why but don't mind. Don't you think that we should have a more descriptive title? I still don't know what "Instructions" is supposed to mean or, better yet, I think it can mean anything.

Oh, Felipe, I agree with you, but I think it's one of very small problems, this site has more important problems now. If you want change this page, you can write personally "Marius":http://developer.qt.nokia.com/member/2 via site.

I agree with you that there are more important issues but don't see any reason why a "less important" discussion can't happen. I could change the page myself (at least I could replace it with another one by editing the wiki) but that is beyond the point.

I expressed my opinion and was hopeful other people would do the same.

I agree with fcrochik, it's a prblem to solve, maybe a tiny one, but still one, and it's on the main page, every first visitor see it... fcrochik feel free to write to Marius I think ;)
