Forum:Wiki structure - Lists vs Categories

Hi, I'm starting out a wiki for collecting information about live performances from musical artists. I've yet to add much content or tried to spread the word about the wiki since I can't make up my mind about some basics around how to structure the content, and I'm hoping some more experienced wiki-maintainers could give me some hints :)

Here is an example of an article for a performance: example

As you can see, the performance is part of three categories: performances from this band, performances for this year and performances in this city. The tour that the concert was part of is however an article containing a list. Should this also be a category?

Also I'm wondering about how to name articles/categories. Here is an example of a category concerning a festival. The title is "Performances at All Tomorrow's Parties", but if I were to use this naming consistently, the category Festivals would have all entries named "Performances at ..." which might look silly. On the other hand, I don't want articles about specific festivals (maybe later) or bands, so the proper name of the categories is "Performances by/at ...".

All ideas and comments appreciated :)

 * When you add something to a category, if you use a Pipe after the category you can change the sorting. So if you used Instead of leaving it without the Stuff after the |, then it would be sorted in the A column instead of the P Column. Dantman (Talk) 18:09, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
