Keyword
From Wikigogy
Wikigogy's standard keyword set helps you search for and identify pages.
To add keywords to a new page, type {{subst:keyword}} at top of the page, save to expand the substitution, then trim down the keyword set till it identifies the page accurately -- delete lines and keywords that don't apply. Related keywords go together on one line.

[edit] List of Keywords
[edit] Star
The star keyword rates quality of a page
If you disagree with a page's rating, change its star keyword and say why you did on its talk page.
| 4star | excellent page or lesson |
| 3star | good page or lesson -- welcome to make it excellent |
| 2star | satisfactory page or lesson -- welcome to improve it |
| 1star | poor page or lesson -- welcome to improve it |
| 0star | unsatisfactory page or lesson -- welcome to fix it |
- star, no plural s; its an adjective and we need to standardize this for search to work.
- If you see spam on a page please don't rate it, please fix the problem by deleting the spam from the page. If you are not sure, mark it with {{spam}}. Thanks!
- If a page is off topic or outside our goals please fix it or mark it with the delete tag
{{deletebecause|type reason here and sign ~~~~}} and another user will look at it.

[edit] Language level
Language level -- list more than one if appropriate
Consider age and school level of student: ll_9 is comparable to language ability of an average native English speaker of the same age and school level as the student being measured. So ll_9 for a ten year old student is different from ll_9 for a college student. ll_1 through ll_8 are incremental measures up the ladder from raw beginner English to native speaker English of comparable age and school level. Is this a good way to measure for this site's purposes? I don't know. I think it is a practical subjective starting point. Someone more knowledgeable than I may pin it to more concreate measures on a Language level page. Please do, or comment about this on the Talk page.
| ll_1 | low beginning |
| ll_2 | mid beginning |
| ll_3 | high beginning |
| ll_4 | low intermediate |
| ll_5 | mid intermediate |
| ll_6 | high intermediate |
| ll_7 | low advanced |
| ll_8 | mid advanced |
| ll_9 | high advanced -- comparable to native English speaker of the same age and school level as student being measured |
That is lowercase LL for language level, plus underscore and a number. Keywords must be at least 4 characters long; do not omit the underscore.

Teaching style or modality
| roleplay | roleplay related |
| grammar_translation | a "traditional" style of lessons litterally about grammar and translation between L1 and L2 |

[edit] Country
| [Any Country Name] | If you find a page especially relevant to and useful within a particular country add the name of the country (or list of countries) as the last keyword line of a page's keywords. For example, teaching materials or tips you find especially successful in China, Japan and Vietnam could be labled with keywards "* China Japan Vietnam". I'm not sure how country keywords will be. Talk about this idea on the Talk page. |
