I think most of the categories you listed are good ideas. The following are definitely needed: |
|||
*Category:Gorbesh War |
|||
*Category:Sorrow War |
|||
*Category:Outcast Wars |
|||
*Category:Pirate Events |
|||
I'm a little leery about some of them because of issues with overlap (Mirror Wraith Prophesy was, technically, an MM event, but it involved everybody. Similarly, the pirates stuff is mostly a Qi thing, but it has spilled over into every province): |
|||
*Category:Regional Events |
|||
*Category:Guild Events |
|||
*Category:Clan Events |
|||
Finally, I think some things are fine so long as we set some standards for what does/doesn't go into them: |
|||
*Category:Major GMPCs |
|||
*Category:Before Lanival (I don't like this category very much, actually) |
|||
I've already begun using the GMPCs category as you described, but there remain some pages I have not yet categorized according to this scheme. |
|||
Also, I've created a few fairly broad categories that you may find useful: |
|||
*Category:Alive (for presently active or potentially active characters) |
|||
*Category:Dead (for characters for which there is no reasonable expectation they will ever be in the previous category) |
|||
*Category:Ferdahl (ruler of Ilithi) |
|||
*Category:Emperor (ruler of the Seven Starred Empire) |
|||
*Category:Theren (family) |
|||
*Category:Crowther (family) |
|||
*Category:Braun (family) |
|||
For families, the standard I have been using is that there need to be roughly four or more prominent members of the family to get a category. Some families (eg Braun) don't have that many in the Wiki yet because I haven't yet added them. I've also added families as subcategories to the relevant race. |

I'd be interested to hear what you think about these ideas/actions, particularly some of the concerns I mention with Regional, Guild, and Clan events. I'm not opposed to making those categories, but I think we need to be careful in setting guidelines for how they are used. |

Categories
I think most of the categories you listed are good ideas. The following are definitely needed:
- Category:Gorbesh War
- Category:Sorrow War
- Category:Outcast Wars
- Category:Pirate Events
I'm a little leery about some of them because of issues with overlap (Mirror Wraith Prophesy was, technically, an MM event, but it involved everybody. Similarly, the pirates stuff is mostly a Qi thing, but it has spilled over into every province):
- Category:Regional Events
- Category:Guild Events
- Category:Clan Events
Finally, I think some things are fine so long as we set some standards for what does/doesn't go into them:
- Category:Major GMPCs
- Category:Before Lanival (I don't like this category very much, actually)
I've already begun using the GMPCs category as you described, but there remain some pages I have not yet categorized according to this scheme.
Also, I've created a few fairly broad categories that you may find useful:
- Category:Alive (for presently active or potentially active characters)
- Category:Dead (for characters for which there is no reasonable expectation they will ever be in the previous category)
- Category:Ferdahl (ruler of Ilithi)
- Category:Emperor (ruler of the Seven Starred Empire)
- Category:Theren (family)
- Category:Crowther (family)
- Category:Braun (family)
For families, the standard I have been using is that there need to be roughly four or more prominent members of the family to get a category. Some families (eg Braun) don't have that many in the Wiki yet because I haven't yet added them. I've also added families as subcategories to the relevant race. This is perfect, I agree!"
