Nomadic Ideas

Amazingly, [Nomadic_Wonderer] gave me this idea.

Some ideas on this forum have the blessing of being applicable to more than one category. For example, the brilliantly conceived "Coffee Cup Watermark" could be appropriate in Food:Coffee, Product:Mug, or even Product:Office Supply.

It is a shame to pigeonhole an idea with such wide-ranging potential into just one category. Perhaps the "Category, Pick One" listbox may be modified into a "Select All That Apply" box instead; each idea becoming free to roam around within its categories of membership.

Now, we mustn't just grant wandering ability to *every* stupid idea that gets posted here. To prevent trolls from selecting every category at once, it should be voted upon by us, the half-bakers, whether an idea should be granted "wandering" status. Perhaps a minimum croissantage for this privilege must be earned, or a friendly [marked-for-wandering] endorsement posted and approved by a moderator.

Once granted Wandering status, an idea will appear in a different category on every visit, reminding readers of its broad scope of potential, and also inspiring readers by directing them to pages of the halfbakery that they might not have visited otherwise.
