C:Zoological, cryptozoological and kinemortological are subcategorys of C:Race. All different race categorys are subcategorys to C:zoological, cryptozoological or kinemortological (e.g. Vampire -> C:Kinemortological). NPC articles are tied to appriate categry of its race (e.g. Soy -> C:Vampire). C:Undead is reseverd for all those 'featured' NPCs that are undeads when they are not according to creature lore.

  • Weapon articles (e.g. Slicer) are members of C:Weapon main type and root C:Weapon. C:Weapon main type is determined by the main skill needed to use the weapon and it has subcategorys for each weapon type (e.g. C:Maul -> C:Bludgeon).
  • Armour articles are members of categorys armour type, about what slot it takes and root C:Armour. Armour types are in turn subcategorys of C:Armour (e.g. C:Battlesuit -> C:Armour). Slot types are subcategorys of root C:slot (e.g. C:Head -> C:Slot).

Discussion

Need of top root category

Like MediaWiki:Sidebar already does, making all the main (item) categorys as subcategorys under C:equipment would be logical. That would keep it bit more in shape and reduce uncategoriged categories by 4-5. BlackSmith 02:12, 27 August 2008 (EEST)
