Category mangling

To prevent userspace drafts/sandboxes from appearing in main space categories, I recommend a practice I picked up in Wikipedia Draft: space.

Placing a colon at the begining of a category link prevents the page from being in the category, but instead makes a link to the category's page.

With the colon in place, a red link would show any problem with the link; for example:

I saw you made the change. I just noted that the same technique is recomended on Policy. I suppose you will update that part when you commit.

User categories

To organize or keep track of your user pages and sandboxes, you may create a user category that may only be used in your user space:

  • Prefix the category User and your Wiki username, followed by a meaningful suffix.
  • Your user name may be made posessive.
Example: Category:User Pilk's sandbox
  • Creating the category page, you must add it to the Category:User categories or another one of of your own user category.
  • User categories may be added to no other category save those mentioned.
  • Categories that don't follow this naming scheme may be deleted without warning.
  • Otherwise, user categories should comply with the general rules for categories.
  • Obnoxious categories may be deleted by GrampaSwood.

There might not be any great contribution to the wiki, here, but it could be a means for new editors to practice with categories.

Navbar?

Navbar, at least for userpage banners/tags?
