Why are the articles presented as subcategories?  Is it possible to change the template to simply list the pages as articles?

Content requests

I see the Suggested projects template and category as being mainly for quite specific things such as research questions or the "Specific Design Requests" - e.g. a new drying mechanism for rice, a Machine for removal of grain from a seed stalk, an improved Universal Nut Sheller.W

General topics, writing up existing info, (e.g. Sickle, Drilling tools, Treadle pump) seem to me like a different issue, to be put on another page (currently the neglected Appropedia talk:Request, which I'll link from here).

Now, I haven't quite been doing this - I've been using the {{sp}} tag to request not only research and design work, but also basic info hunting work. We probably want a different tag for that, e.g. {{rc}}, to add pages to a new cat, Category:Requested content.

How does that sound? --Chriswaterguy 01:42, 17 April 2008 (PDT)

Seperating research and design projects sounds like a really good idea. Would Category:Requested content serve as the former and Category:Suggested projects serve as the latter?
Are you advocating any specific change?

Subcategories

Why are the articles presented as subcategories? Is it possible to change the template to simply list the pages as articles?
