Wikibooks talk:Departments

Please help categorize and catalog books. Subject pages and the Subject: namespace are part of an ongoing effort to improve Wikibooks.

Bookshelves and departments are expected to disappear once most books can be found on subject pages. Bookshelves were historically used to list books. Bookshelves used to be in the main namespace before being moved to the Wikibooks namespace. New book suggestions once included on bookshelves were moved to Wikibooks:Requested books, and {{requested books}} used in every section of every bookshelf in order to help encourage people to add their requests there instead. Departments would be created to better keep bookshelves organized. Questions were asked, such as "What is the difference between departments and bookshelves?", "What are the differences between bookshelves and categories?", and "Is this really the best way to list books?". These sort of questions led to the creation of the Subject: namespace and to the proposal that bookshelves and departments be done away with.

Bookshelf to subject discussion

I'm curious to know where the discussion that decided to transition bookshelves to subjects took place? I'm was curious to peek at the archive. -- Beland (discuss • contribs) 00:39, 31 May 2015 (UTC)

Found a chronology at Wikibooks Stacks/History. -- Beland (discuss • contribs) 01:35, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
