I still don't have access to the rename script

Dom for access and presumably it will reach the top of his to-do pile

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!

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-template…
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... :-/
