Nigel,
Is it possible to have the bot add a category (TOO BIG) to all the pages
that are larger than 32KB?  I like the Archive: and the Meeting:.

|
| a) Archive: (without talk pages)
| Purpose - To allow archiving wiki pages pertaining to EOL releases,
| and/or are no longer relevant to the general user
| Benefits - With proper setup (not searched by default for instance) we
| can help speed up searches and remove old information from general end
| users, BUT still be there for those interested.  Pages like the old
| Extras and FSA pages come to mind immediately.
|
| b) Meeting: (with talk pages)
| Purpose - Allow some separation of end-user based content and
| board/committee/group meeting logs
| Benefits - Marginal, similar to the purpose of Archive though,
| basically, somewhere to keep meeting logs in a place where they can be
| optionally searched but not by default
|
| An alternative to a meeting name space is with proper logging of the
| meeting channels automatically posting meeting logs on Fedora People (or
| similar).
|
| As for the large pages, well we have pages that are well in excess of
| the 32KB recommended by the Mediawiki folk, stuff like
| https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/ChristianIseli/PackageReviewStatus
| (200KB+) would be better suited to Fedora People, but we don't really
| have any mandate on this. (it'd be nice to have one).
|
| Thoughts, Comments, Suggestions?
