Description:
The Category function is not translating well into Wikinews. The biggest problem
with categories is that we cannot sort by date to make the newest stories appear
on top. Compare http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Category:Culture_and_entertainment
with http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Category:Culture_and_entertainment_test.
In essence, after 50 staries are written on a given topic, a category becomes
virtually useless since alphabetic sort yileds results where it is impossible to
tell the difference between a story written last year or last night.
And with a [[Category:Topic|YYYMMDD]] sort, the OLDEST appears on top - which
makes the task of finding the newest story a scroll hunt for the reader.
