Latest developments
The design is shifting to utilizing more of the power of categories and power of using templates to adaptively include categories. Countries were moved from main namespace today.
Labels and basically all applicable features of a product or business will be categories for purposes of information emergence and reduced manual linking need.
For adaptive information/relation emergence a lot of categorization templates will be added. This way we can have navigation functionality with near to 0% coverage of the field and as more information/categories are added the templates can be adjusted to no longer include the most generic categories to avoid cluttering
example: Template:Based in Sweden (should actually be Template:Based in that takes a parameter (The name of the country) to avoid having a "Based in"-template for every single country) now includes Category:Sweden (which will be later dropped to avoid cluttering Category:Sweden that also acts as the main article about Sweden, but kept for now to get useful links up-and-running)
Template:Made in Finland adds Category:Made in EU in addition to Category:Made in Finland. This way later on (naturally making use of Category:Made in Unknown naturally) we will be able to generate interesting statistics about manufacturing and such.
