Article category

User:Dmcritchie, I'm having a hard time figuring out how to categorize this article ... It doesn't seem to be about the Location Bar or Preferences, which are the two categories that are indicated. Category:Extensions (Firefox) is the closest I can figure, although it is also about external applications that handle the clipboard content. Side by side and other alignments and comparisons is another of your articles that I had problems figuring out but at least its categories made sense (sort of). Alice 20:47, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

I was thinking of putting a plain text work next to categories so you or User:Tanstaafl would spot it, looks like you found it anyway. I have no idea how to categorize it. Perhaps "Usage Tips - Hints and Tips" category. That might clean up Categories #81-85 Tips Calendar... I just made the Side by side and other alignments and comparisons a little harder to categorize by adding another subtopic. DMcRitchie 03:54, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

How about simply Category:Websites? There seems to be a lot of difficult to categorize articles that involve working with web pages in there. I'll add it that category, for the time being. I don't want to get into creating new categories for now. Alice 13:07, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

Seems like a strange category name for it, but it fits the description provided for the category. DMcRitchie 17:10, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

Article title and intro

What about working on a better title and introductory sentence, too? "Plain Text and Other Documentation Copy and Paste" as a title is not that clear as to what the article is about, and neither is the intro sentence, Documentation aids of displayed text, source, and tabs as might be needed in email, HTML, and other documentation as plain text or other documentation formatted code. Besides, the article's name needs to be changed anyway because it doesn't conform to Article naming conventions (you shouldn't capitalize all main words). I would suggest a better title but to tell the truth, I can't figure out the main point of the article. Alice 21:45, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

I took a shot and edited the intro, then I renamed the article. Hope I got the main point right. Alice 23:30, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
