See the proposed structure at css-tree-proposed.json.

Steps performed

  1. Created the css/reference/values directory and a listing page for "Values". (files/en-us/web/css/reference/values/index.md).

  2. Moved these pages into css/reference/values:

    • Pages with page-type: css-keyword
    • Pages with page-type: css-type and their child directories (e.g., basic-shape/circle)
    • Pages with page-type: css-functions (not already inside values, properties, or at-rules)

  3. Moved the existing css_values_and_units/css_value_functions directory under and as css/reference/values/functions.

  4. Moved the existing css_values_and_units/css_data_types directory under and as css/reference/values/data_types.

  5. Updated the sidebar (files/sidebars/cssref.yaml):

    • Added an entry for a link to "Values" with a listing of all keywords.
    • Swapped the position of Functions and Types in the sidebar, moving Types before Functions.

I know we already reached "agreement" on this so not a blocker (though it's because I didn't really put much thought into it at first), but is there a reason to put functions, keywords, and types in the same folder? Types are not code entities in CSS but functions and keywords are, and to me the difference is extremely unambiguous, so I would have separated types/ and values/. If you think this doesn't work for things like <color> which has subpages, I would suggest lifting the subpages out of <color> just like url_function is not nested under url_value.

I am in favor of keeping the relationships intact in the filesystem. So we're keeping:

  • animation-timeline (property) / scroll()
  • @import (at-rule) / layer()

And similarly, <basic-shape> (data type) / ellipse() and <color> (data type) / lab().
The nesting helps keep the context intact instead of scattering entities across directories. Moving types and functions to their respective directories will break the inherent connection between them - and it would then also be tricky to represent the relationship on the site (we're able to leverage the breadcrumbs to display the correct context for image(): CSS > Reference > Values > <image> > image(); image() outside of <image> and plainly under Values will seem untethered). Additionally, data types provide a nice parent grouping in the directory structure for all the related functions, so all functions under basic-shape are grouped together and all functions under easing-function stay together.

The relationship between url_function and url_value is very different from say <color>/rgb() or <transform-function>/matrix(). Since url() is also a general purpose function that can be used in different contexts apart from being used as <url> type, they're kept as sibling directories rather than nested.

About dropping the _value identifier, I agree - we can drop it from color_value, flex_value, position_value, position-area_value, and overflow_value now that the same-named properties and values are in separate directories.
However, our cssxref macro will first need to be updated to handle the distinction or perhaps we need a new macro for values that can take the new slug css/reference/values (without the _value, {{cssxref("position", "&lt;position&gt;")}} or even {{cssxref("&lt;position&gt;")}} is currently linking to the position property instead of the data type).
I'll flag this to the engineering team. (see cssxref in rari and mdn/rari#361).

Looks good! Thank you :)

I think this sidebar will be a good compromise until we have a better system.
