===On starting the Research Wiki pilot===
It is clear that a [[policy]] that deals with deletions and such has to be formed.
Research Wiki will have namespaces for [[Product]], [[Company]] and [[Group]]. [[Product Group]]s will be implemented as [[categories]] with nesting. [[Brand]]s may also be implemented as categories, this is yet unclear.
A good plan for the order of adding things is needed. For example documenting (retail)[[channel]]s should be quite quickly brought to as close to 100% coverage as soon as possible since when adding products we will have to begin with a goal of 0,01% coverage. Another reason for this is that the [[Consumerium:intermediate product page]] links to channels where it is sold starting with one or more retail chains where a product is found. This is necessary for providing a view to which products in a certain store have articles on them by utilizing the special:whatlinkshere function.
A simple plan for implementing what was in the old days referred to as [[The Consumerium Exchange]] is presented at [[Simple model for expressing opinions]] which can be implemented with only minimal [[MediaWiki modifications|additions/changes]] to the [[MediaWiki]] software. This plan must be meticulously checked before it is made into an official [[policy]]. It contains a few vulnerabilities to attacks, some of which can be detected and prevented (after or before they happen) and some attacks mostly diluting the reputation of the voting system by utilising [[sock puppet]]s. A more elaborate [[voting]] system may be later on implemented, but this is what we start with.
