Improvements of Categories in Chinese Wikipedia

  • Problem: Categories are sorted by unicode encoding. It became difficult for readers to locate a page in a large category because there are tens of thousands of characters(in Chinese) rather than 26 to sort from. People use pinyin (romanized Chinese) (or zhuyin), radicals or strokes of Chinese characters when they want to find a word.
  • Who would benefit: Users at Chinese Wikipedias(zhwp, wuuwp, etc.) or in logographic language.
  • Proposed solution: I wish that there will be some options (default, pinyin, zhuyin, radicals, strokes, etc.) for users to select in categories.
  • More comments: Japanese Wikipedia users may also benefit from this proposal since kanji (characters) can be sorted by their pronunciation.
