This page is for managing the introduction of new categories. As we transition to structured data, we are aiming to maintain a stronger management of category taxonomies, while still allowing for adaptation by users. It is important to remember that the purpose of categories is to group things that are similar, not to exhaustively classify all variation. Look for higher level categories, and only subdivide when the content demands subdivision.
Candidates
New Category candidates generally need to meet several criteria: 1) there is enough existing or immediately anticipated page content to make the category useful, 2) the category is sufficiently high-level enough to encourage relationships among pages, 3) the category is strongly relevant to social-ecological systems that govern the Salish Sea ecosystem.
- Category:Macroalgae - A category to complement Eelgrass which might be better placed with Seagrasses which could include species other than Zostera, which are less well studied.
- Category:Submerged Aquatic Vegetation - an appropriate sub-category of Category:Vegetation, material anticipated from shoreline heatmap.
- Category:Quantification and Assessment - sub category of Socioeconomics to describe all efforts and products that aim to categorize or quantify places for the purposes of management.
- Category:Cultural Resources - sub-category of Socioeconomics - not sure if there is enough content
- Category:Dam Removal - sub-category of Effort-Restoration
