I could use your help.  If you want to help with all this categorization stuff, please look at [[CZ:Astronomy Workgroup]].  Notice "Checklist-generated categories."  The templates used to generate those pages are:

* [[Template:Workgroup developing articles]]
* [[Template:Workgroup stub articles]]
* [[Template:Workgroup external articles]]
* [[Template:Workgroup internal articles]]
* [[Template:Workgroup advanced articles]]
* [[Template:Workgroup nonstub articles]]
* [[Template:Workgroup internal articles]]
* [[Template:Workgroup underlinked articles]]
* [[Template:Workgroup category check]]
* [[Template:Workgroup cleanup]]
* [[Template:Workgroup checklisted articles]]
In each case, to create a page, simply type (for example):
:<code><nowiki>{{workgroup developing articles|group=Astronomy}}</nowiki></code>
The trouble is that we need to do that sort of thing for ''11'' category pages for ''all the rest'' of our workgroups.
Note, I changed [[CZ:Workgroups]] so that all rows now use [[Template:Workgroup]], which is now more generic, and requires just a single parameter: the workgroup name.  The template now fetches the supercategory and forum location information separately.  That means we need to maintain that information separately as well.  The locations are: [[Template:Supcats]] (assigns workgroups to supercategories); [[Template:Forum locations]] (assigns forum URLs to workgroups]]; and, least intuitively, [[Template:Workgroup names with underscores]] (which maps un-underscored workgroup names to underscored versions; e.g., takes "Visual Arts" and spits back "Visual_Arts"; necessary to make the links to recent changes not break). --[[User:Larry Sanger|Larry Sanger]] 15:40, 17 March 2007 (CDT)

Hi there! Larry Sanger here. My official title is now Founding Editor-in-Chief of the Citizendium. I started this thing, but I'm no longer in any official leadership capacity. I'm happy to be able to report that the project now enjoys an existence independent of me, per my own previously-announced intentions back in 2006. My best wishes go with this very worthy project!

I'm happy to report that I'm extremely busy! You can add to my shameful backlog of e-mail at larry <at> sanger.io.

You can read more about me at my personal home page and blog. I have a Ph.D. in Philosophy from Ohio State and a passion for Irish traditional music. I was born in the Seattle area and grew up in Anchorage, Alaska.

In 2008-10 I slowly ramped up my work on what became WatchKnowLearn.org, a project to organize educational videos for PreK-12 education. I also posted a 140-page essay, free of charge, called How and Why I Taught My Toddler to Read. In October 2011 I launched Reading Bear, a free reading tutorial for children. I have since worked on a variety of Internet projects as founder and as consultant. As of 2020, I am a consultant at Sanger Consulting.
