Social Tagging

merge with Labels and Key words

Problem : Maintaining an overview of the status of the documents inside a Wiki is difficult. In particular, it is unclear which documents need to be reworked.

Solution : Tag pages that need rework (e.g., with an understandable link to a certain page or a category). For example, when using backlinks, refer to the page “ToDo”. Have a backlink on this page to list pages that are tagged with this concept.

Benefit: By using a general Wiki feature for addressing workflow issues (e.g., ToDo), the usage of this feature is fortified and there is no need to learn further system features. This lowers the effort to get familiar with the Wiki.
