Proposal

I've been thinking about having a uniform design for all of our infoboxes and a systematic arrangement of categories. Without that, Sarkarverse could become chaotic.

Infoboxes

I propose a standard design with two graphics followed by some data that would depend on the category. For example a book would have some specific data, and a foundation would have other specific data.

Regarding the graphics, the top graphic would be based on the type of article, for example, a book cover for an article about a book or discourse. The second graphic would be a map that locates the article within the Sarkarverse. Toward the latter end, I have created and uploaded eight map graphics:

Categories

I believe that allowing a proliferation of categories will lead to inconsistencies and hence confusion. Naturally, there will inevitably be a substantial amount of overlap on various topics. But the better we are at categorizing our material - the better we are at mapping or locating our material - the more effective we will be in conveying the content of Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar's message and mission.

To avoid a confusing proliferation of categories, I propose that all category creation _must_ be discussed and approved by a committee of admins prior to implementation. I further propose that all items in the third column of the current Template:Prabhat_Ranjan_Sarkar (with some additions and some slight adjustment in language) should become startup categories.

Please note that I see no need to create categories for anything in the Sarkarverse Map (FileSVmap.png). The items in the map largely correspond to the first and second columns of the aforementioned template (which may now be deprecated).

To get this rolling in a systematic fashion, I suggest that the following be adopted as our startup list of categories and that any other categories not listed below (and not used exclusively for maintenance purposes) be deleted:

  • Spirituality
  • Spiritual practices
  • Fine Arts
  • Philosophy
