Consumium.org will have it's own wikidata.consumium.org and we sync from multiple sources ( both [[DBpedia]] and [[Wikidata]] )


[[MediaWiki]], it's extra [[namespaces]], [[templates]], [[categories]], [[MediaWiki/extensions|extensions]], [[MediaWiki/widgets|widgets]] and [[MediaWiki/bots|bots]] ( all running on Debian GNU/Linux LAMP-servers-from-cloud ) need to be finetuned to work together.
Templates will be widely employed to add [[categories]] to articles.
All languages will be served from single wiki utilizing [[mw:MediaWiki Language Extension Bundle]].
== Costs of infrastructure ==
The most computer resources in the original plans were the means to serve the [[Advertisement Videos]] but today those can be embedded into wiki from youtube.com so that's taken care of and we require zero investent to enable serving videos.

== Manual work / automized work ==
The most human resources demanding was the entering of the [[Business]] and [[Product]] data but with the emergence of [[DBpedia]] we can have extensive datas on 40,000+ businesses fully automatically and many many other entities/articles.

== Issues needing resolving ==
The [[#licensing|licensing]] issue of whether to go with [[GFDL]] + CC-A-SA double licensing or just one of them needs to be well thought out and solved.

== Wiki structure ==
[[#Consumium wiki structure|Consumium wiki structure]] is much in a state of change at the moment, but the current design plan is to '''serve all languages from a single''' wiki much like [[Translatewiki]] is doing and to have a second wiki for file uploads ( like the commons ) and to use [[Single-signon]] with the two wikis, so that the user accounts are global.. With the coming of the [[Universal Language Selector]] we will likely adopt the form of <tt>/wiki/Article_name_in_English/fi</tt> instead of <tt>/wiki/fi/Artikkelin_nimi_suomeksi</tt>.

The old plans called for having two wikis either [[Research Wiki]] and [[Publish Wiki]] ( suggested by the [[trolls]], focus on distinction of researchable stuff from publishable stuff ) or [[Content Wiki]] and [[Opinion Wiki]] ( suggested by [[User:Juxo]], effort founder, focus on isolation of factual content from subjective opinions ) but currently it looks like those plans are scrapped in favor of having only one [[Implementation Wiki]] to minimize governmental overhead. The '''[[voting]] pages''' of users will be copyright of the page owner i.e. '''not [[copyleft]]ed''' and not included in the dumps for forking. The voting pages of users will be NOINDEX and NOFOLLOW to stop them from getting included in search engine results. Likely the talk-namespace will be NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW so that the talk-pages of articles will be the research side of it and the actual main-namespace articles will be the publish side of it

The upcoming [[MediaWiki/widgets#Universal Language Selector]] conforms to the MediaWiki style of having the language code coming after the article, not before it, though our method would be navigationally perhaps better.

=== Primary structure ===
=== Primary structure ===
#<tt>consumium.org/wiki/fi</tt>- Finnish langauge article space
#<tt>consumium.org/wiki/Business X/fi</tt>- Finnish langauge article on Business X
#<tt>consumium.org/wiki/en</tt> - English language article space
#<tt>consumium.org/wiki/Business X/en</tt> - English langauge article on Business X
#<tt>consumium.org/wiki/sv</tt> - Swedish language article space
#<tt>consumium.org/wiki/Business X/sv</tt> - Swedish langauge article on Business X

=== Ideas about using sub-articles extensively to avoid massive disambig collision ===
*<tt>consumium.org/wiki/Product X</tt> - Article on Product X
:<tt>consumium.org/wiki/en/Company/Brand/Product</tt>- For big corporations<br />
*<tt>consumium.org/wiki/Brand X</tt> - Article on Brand X
::<tt>consumium.org/wiki/en/Company/Feedback</tt> - for storing the feedbacks sent to the company via web-form or phone
*<tt>consumium.org/wiki/Business X/feedback</tt> - Feedback sent to Business X
::<tt>consumium.org/wiki/en/Company/Brand/Product/Reviews</tt> reviews of the product
*<tt>consumium.org/wiki/Product X/reviews</tt> - Reviews of Product X
:<tt>consumium.org/wiki/en/Company/Product</tt> - For smaller companies<br />
*<tt>consumium.org/wiki/Country/City/District/Business X</tt> (for businesses that have a few or one outlet(s))
:<tt>consumium.org/wiki/en/Product</tt> - a redirect to Company/Brand/Product if Product name '''is not a company name'''<br />
:<tt>consumium.org/wiki/en/Country/City/District/Business</tt> (for businesses that have a few or one outlet(s))<br />
 
=== Sub-articleing vs. extensive and heavy use of categories ===
Not sure if sub-articleing is a good idea. using mediawiki's [[categories]] and/or [[namespaces]] instead to provide structures. Having subarticleing will affect search engine scoring differently from using categories. The idea to use subarticleing spans from 2005 and earlier as it was easy to implement automatical linking by listing all subpages and is perhaps not valid approach anymore

* <tt>[http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Data Extension:Data]</tt> In this extension data is described by '''item/key/value triplets''', where 'item' is typically the name of the article, 'key' the name of the data, and 'value' the actual data.
