NeXT level miscategorisation

[Muirium]

I’m wary about breaking the wiki, so I'll note this here in the hopes a wiki veteran can do the deed. We need to talk about NeXT…

This page is surprisingly hard to find

Search the wiki for NeXT, you get no hits: wiki/index.php?search=NeXT&title=Specia ... fulltext=1

Browse by manufacturer: wiki/Category:NeXT_keyboards

The only keyboard listed there is NeXT's later ADB-speaking rubberdome board: wiki/NeXT_ADB

That well-illustrated article doesn't mention the previous Alps based NeXT keyboard at all. So how did I even find this page with all the pictures of the original keyboard then?

Well… this page is very sneakily linked to from the top of the NeXT_keyboards category page, where it is mislabelled as simply NeXT the manufacturer! --Muirium (talk) 15:43, 24 August 2023 (CEST)

I propose renaming the NeXT page to "NeXT non-ADB" keyboard, adding it to the NeXT category, and linking to it from the "NeXT ADB" keyboard article. I've no idea why none of these show up in search, though.

Done.

I suspect that a search for "NeXT" could have got trapped because it was on a list of common words ... but I dunno.

I added links to a non-existed "NeXT Computer" page, that should be about the company. Apparently it had the official name "Next Computer, Inc" at some time, and that two-word title should not get trapped by the search engine either.

Thanks.

To my perplexed amusement, the search result for "NeXT" reports the contradictory statements:

There is a page named "NeXT" on this wiki.
There were no results matching the query.

While a search for "Next" gets no hits at all. This will be my punishment for forgetting the EssEntiAl capitals the NeXT time I go to look.

Wikipedia's article on NeXT Computer is good to point to in the implied manufacturer page. For our interest, they only made 2 keyboards. That and the Steve Jobs / exile from Apple link. Anything else can be read over there.

Yeah, I added a stub for "NeXT Computer" only for completeness' sake, because it is convention to have them.

I suppose it will take a while before the links stop being red (?) ...

Now you've done the hard work, I can join in the story time. Cheers!
