I know you can search, but I wonder if the Cumulus question section should have another heading level grouping:
- questions that talk about how cumulus calculates parameters, the relevant option settings, and how different figures interact if you try to change one, and the sequencing of what Cumulus does (including file formats)
- questions that deal with installation, and transfer (including upgrades, localisation, supported station types and operating systems)
- questions relating to how cumulus works differently for specific stations (fine offset or davis etc)

I'm tempted to add a question about what you can do using the Cumulus editor on the logs, and what you have to do by editing files with cumulus stopped, but I was unsure whether it would be classified as using Cumulus or troubleshooting and whether it was just too complex for one question! Anyway, I probably do not know the answer.


(1) I agree with having the two links under 'Cumulus'; one called 'Latest release Webtags', the other called 'Beta Webtags'
It would be possible (with enough time) to skim through the forum threads and pick up the starting point for the questions that are simply answered with a link to a relevant FAQ, and then perhaps refine the way the question is written (especially the multi-worded ones).

(2) Under articles on this page it lists a category of 'Web site tips' However, if you follow that link you get a category of 'WebTips' (note capitalisation). I wrote a new page and tried to link it into the category, but neither worked for me. I followed the help, so I hope it is a fault with the definition of the category, not me making typos. Whichever, I would like my article on HTML and script to be in the category, not an orphan.

[[User:MCrossley|MCrossley]]: I can probably edit the page now I have admin, so I'll look at making two links as per (1) - DONE.

(2) What is the name of the page you were trying to link to on WebTips? OK got it, the problem was you had placed in the the category "Web Tips", the correct category is "WebTips"
[[User:Sfws|Sfws]] 21:35, 28 November 2012 (UTC)Thank you Mark (for both the web tags text change and the category correction), so it was a typo by me when I deleted 5 characters from 'Web site tips'. Having seen both changes, I understand now that what appears on Main page is descriptive not the actual categories. It makes sense, but my brain did not work it out before.

MCrossley: I cannot edit this page, but I suggest that we have two versions of the Webtags pages. One organised as the current page, the other like the beta wegtags page. That would mean two links from this page.
