Category talk:Types of communities

Untitled
Hello! Beautiful, Maurreen! This is a very much-needed category about the 5 diffrent types of communities there are. I'm wondering now if we shoud not move Community of practice to Communities of Practice to conform with the other names or move all of the other names to singular with the second word uncapitalized, which conforms to Naming_conventions. Then the list would of course look like: That would be more work but would conform with the rest of Wikipedia per guideline. Or we could do Which would be the easy way through, and probably would minimize the use of redirects, since one would usually refer to one of these topics in the plural, but with lower case initial letters &mdash; for example communities of practice. That would lead to a third scheme: I vote for the first scheme, because it conforms best with Naming_conventions and I will add it to the Todo list at WikiProject Community if I get a sense that there is some consensus toward it. I reluctantly volunteer to do a Lion's share of the work if that's the case. CQ 20:58, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Community of action
 * Community of circumstance
 * Community of interest
 * Community of position
 * Community of purpose
 * Community of practice
 * Communities of Action
 * Communities of Circumstance
 * Communities of Interest
 * Communities of Position
 * Communities of Purpose
 * Communities of Practice
 * Communities of action
 * Communities of circumstance
 * Communities of interest
 * Communities of position
 * Communities of purpose
 * Communities of practice


 * Yes, the first option seems simplest and follows WP style. Maurreen 05:47, 13 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Alrighty then. I'm on it. CQ 10:12, 13 July 2006 (UTC)


 * OK. Done. ...with the first phase anyway. I renamed all the articles to match the first set above and created redirects to them to match the third set above. Eventually, I'll do away with all references to the second set, so we won't need those redirects. I think I'll create a transclusion box for this set of articles, maybe adding other articles to the category like Virtual community and Community of place which will discuss neighborhoods, towns, villages and ecovillages and things like placemaking and the Project for Public Spaces from a Community perspective.
