This is the approved structure for the Australian World War One categories and the usage of the Great War sticker.
Contents |
Objectives
- To have the Australian World War I landing level categories (categories containing profiles) compatible with the unit= parameter of the Great War sticker. (See Stage Two)
- To have the Australian World War I landing level categories (categories containing profiles), named in a format consistent with the current global Military & War category naming format, ie. [[Category; <unit>, <branch>, World War I]] (See Stage Two)
- Simplification of the Australia World War I category structure, by removing unnecessary upper-level categories. As with all categorization, the focus should be on the grouping of profiles in their respective unit categories, which are the landing level categories. There are now minimal levels to reach the landing level categories. Many redundant upper-level categories had information that has been added to free space pages which would be linked to a high level category (See Stage One)
Stage One
- Implementation of a simplified structure completed:
- Division and brigade upper level categories were abolished, with a free space page for each division for information and list of brigades and units.
- The category "Australian Army Units, World War I" was redundant and was deleted.
- Other upper level categories may become redundant as the re-organisation and renaming progresses.
- A maintenance category, [[Category:Unknown Unit, Australian Imperial Force, World War I]] has been created. The maintenance category may be added manually or by using unit=Unknown Unit as a sticker parameter. Members who research military records will use the maintenance category to identify profiles with unknown/missing service records.
Stage Two
Landing level categories containing profiles have been renamed in the format [[Category; <unit>, <branch>, World War I]]
These are the choices for the branch= parameter:
- Australia
- Australian Imperial Force
- Australian Naval and Military Expeditionary Force
- Australian Commonwealth Military Force
- Australian Flying Corps
- Royal Australian Navy

Also, revisiting [Barraclough-448] I notice that the category for Military Forces Staff now sits under AIF, which in his case at least is wrong - he was never part of the AIF, always part of the Commonwealth Military Force(s).
I think that category for Barraclough was requested by the profile manager, I'll check with her.
