I still don't have access to the rename script (though I have asked Dom for access and presumably it will reach the top of his to-do pile at some point) so I can't rename the category page yet either - but we would have to edit the individual pages to change the category name anyway, so you can certainly do that.
Won't it be a bit misleading if I edit the page to show the new name but it's still at the old URL? (Or am I misunderstanding you?)
We do in fact seem to already have a Baby Changing category! http://oxford.openguides.org/wiki/?Category_Baby_Changing
Oh, duh. OK. Will try to rationalise this & let you know when I have done.
[No Card Payments]
I saw this category appear, and was wondering about it... is it something that's really useful to have as a category, rather than just mentioning it in the page text? I'm not sure I would ever want to search specifically for a business that doesn't take card payments.
Hm, I was thinking less in terms of searching, more in terms of being able to add a big clear icon warning people. I take your point though, but...
I would be more likely to want to do the opposite, in which case "Card Payments Accepted" would be a good category name.
... I think this is basically the default now, even most of the tiny newsagents take cards, & it would be a real drag trying to add "Card Payments Accepted" category to everything for which it's applicable. I was starting to write a blog post about places in Oxford which don't accept cards (because I have the most exciting blog in the world, FACT) & can only come up with less than half a dozen (& one of them I think now *does* take cards but need to go and check).
Ooh, and "Cashback" or "Cashback Available" or "Cashback Given" would be useful too.
Ooh, yes, that *would* be good. Let me know which wording you prefer & I can start adding that for some of the places I know of.
Relatedly, it would be ace if there was a way to pick from existing categories when creating/editing pages...
On RGL and the Cambridge Guide, we have links to the lists of all categories and locales next to the relevant boxes on the edit form, e.g. http://cambridge.openguides.org/wiki/?action=edit;id=Punter
which can be done by editing the edit_form.tt template: http://svn.randomness.org.uk/trunk/london.randomness.org.uk/custom-templates...
So in fact we could even add one of those JS start-typing-to-autocomplete things (or would that be really irritating?) or script in a drop-down list? A link to the list would be a very good start though!
Thank you, & sorry if I seem to be just creating more work for you & not doing any of it myself... :-/
