Restructuring [edit]

I've begun restructuring this 'school'. To start with I'm following the suggestions by McCormack on the Colloquium (27 April, 2008), pasted here for convenience and modified/revised. -- Jtneill - Talk 12:45, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

Topics [edit]

a. The topics section is really just a list of which pages need a category leading from Category:Psychology, so I'd ensure all the existing (blue) Topic: pages have an equivalent Category: and then rely on the CategoryTree to lead to the listed topics;
Done. -- Jtneill - Talk 12:45, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
b. the CategoryTree could go on Portal:Psychology (which does not exist yet and might make better sense!).
Done. -- Jtneill - Talk 15:32, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

Journals [edit]

The list of journals and external resources should go to Psychology Learning Resources (mainspace) and be categorised under Category:Psychology where it will show up prominently in the CategoryTree.

Done. -- Jtneill - Talk 15:30, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
-> Psychology/Learning resources. -- Jtneill - Talk 10:47, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Courses [edit]

a. The list of uncreated courses is a hangover from the early days and should be deleted.
Done. -- Jtneill - Talk 15:31, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
b. The created courses should be checked for proper categorisation (CategoryTree listing) and perhaps some chosen as featured content for the new Psychology portal.

Participants [edit]

The participants list could be moved to the talk page of the new portal.

Done. moved below for now. -- Jtneill - Talk 16:59, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

The rest [edit]

The rest could probably go in boxes on the new Psychology portal. At the same time, the portal should become more friendly towards resource creation, which the current School: page isn't.

Trying to understand the psychology pages' hierarchy [edit]

So, I'm new to the Wikiversity and I have been looking around at the psychology articles, and I found it very confusing that there were four separate "psychology" pages (one for each of Portal:, School:, Topic:, and /Psychology). Perhaps these could be condensed to just one School:Psychology page that is underneath the Social Sciences portal. Then specialties (such as biopsych, cognitive, clinical, etc) could be put under the Topic: namespace. I have a little example here on my user page. I'd be glad to do the consolidation and re-arranging, but I just wanted to ask first so I don't start overwriting plans that other people might have for these pages. Thanks!

Participants [edit]

The histories of Wikiversity pages indicate who the active participants are. If you are an active participant in this school, you can list your name here (this can help small schools grow and the participants communicate better; for large schools it is not needed).
