So, why delete the categories? This has to do with the reason we moved to Semantic Wiki. As most people can see, to get every combination of every important item stat would take thousands of categories, which is not something that is feasable to do nor particularly fun to hunt through or maintain. Instead, with Semantic Wiki, you can search for items that meet your criteria while ignoring everything else. In this, items are a perfect test of the system, and thus we have removed the categories since they are no longer necessary (we hope). Now, when when I say we, usually I mean me....so don't blame Naeya if it blows up and kills your pet cat. She's kind enough to support me, but my many mistakes are my own. If you want to more about semantic search, check the help pages that I just updated, in a strange coincidence :P -[[User:Caraamon|Caraamon Strugr-Makdasi]]<sup>([[User talk:Caraamon|talk]])</sup> 21:29, 28 June 2008 (CDT)

The original rule of removing the capitalization was made way way back before I understood how things work. There's actually no more reason to do that anymore, so long as we make a redirect from the non-capitalized version (for backwards compatibility).

Weight

I'm considering removing the automatic incomplete tagging for non-combat items that are missing weight. I'm suspect 90% of our users couldn't care less what that belt quiver weighs, and it would allow people to focus more on the important bits. Anyone have any thoughts either way? -Moderator Caraamon Makdasi(talk) 19:36, 5 August 2013 (UTC)
