Talk:Products

I propose that all the sub-categories get merged to this page, so the "products" page contain direct links to the per-product descriptions pages.

The goal is to improve the overview by showing how many products there are in each category, and to link the product name to a category (to show which one is where).

I tend to agree. How about we remove the Category tags from the sub categories and list them (the sub-categories) on a main Products page ? Something like:

• Accessories
  • Adapters
  • Clothing

etc.

Notes

Oh, now I see what you mean by the per-product description page. We definitely shouldn't be listing the products themselves here - it's going to be unmaintainable not to mention creating a large page. Adding a product should be a single edit rather than having to update multiple pages (I'm not happy with having to link to them under a company as well). nomis52 20:37, 29 January 2007 (PST)

Looks good. The only thing I'd suggest is to sort alphabetically.

I've taken the changes and created a Products page so we don't get the extra cruft that comes from being a category.
