Races

• 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)
