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 (File:SVmap.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
