Perhaps Wikipedia could make a distinction between core articles and non-core articles. Core being what wikipedia is now, and non-core the more fringe topics.

- kirushik 12y agoSounds a little bit like partage's "overlays" concept. And that's a good thing.
- polarix 12y agoDo you have any more information about partage's "overlays" concept? I can't find anything for those words...
- jdpage 12y agoParent meant 'portage', which is the Gentoo Linux package manager.

- maxerickson 12y agoI think if you have 2 categories all you accomplish is creating a new thing to argue about. You could extend it and allow groups or individuals to create their own 'views', but I guess you still end up with people arguing about what to include in the popular ones.
- jules 12y agoThat's the point. Instead of arguing whether to delete or keep an article, the deletionists can now argue over whether an article should be core or non core, thus very much limiting the damage they do. They WILL argue about something, we can't control that, we can only control what they will argue about.
