== Reorganisation of categories ==

I think the page could do with a restructure, to make it easier to navigate for listeners, and to make it easier for editors to know where to put their recordings. I have a draft for one almost ready to go on my sandbox [[User:Thrownfootfalls/sandbox/Wikipedia:Spoken_Articles_(reorganisation)|(feel free to have a look here)]], but since it's a substantial change, I thought I should flag it up early instead of surprising everyone.

This started off as I was trying to shift around a few of the recordings for more consistent organisation. Then, seeing how pages like [[Wikipedia:Contents]] and [[Wikipedia:Vital_articles]] are organised, I started using them as guidance, and, well, one thing led to another. (This is what happens when you're keen to work on recordings, but your neighbours are doing DIY all day...)

I could understand that people might be attached to this layout, and as a relative newcomer I might not be aware of its advantages. Nevertheless, I reckon it's a good move to change it now, since it brings the structure more in line with other such overviews within the encyclopedia, and when the list on this page grows further, many of those other pages will provide a useful example for how to manage that structure. Lastly, I personally find the proposed structure easier to navigate, though I'm definitely happy to be disagreed with on that point! At the very least, I think having a separate "People" section is a very useful and unambiguous category.
