Forum:Category project

In the prior War Room forum it was closed due to "Action has been taken to reduce redundancy in categories.", however I feel the categories could still use more work to make them easier to navigate. In the prior forum I put forward some tree ideas for categories, I feel we should create a tree for all the Spaces, while Filespace is being looked at I feel many of the Mainspaces are being ignored. I also feel categories are seemingly just being used to group random things together, but don't contain a master group. Looking at the Call of Duty 4 page shows it to be somewhat of a mess. A far simpler tree could be as follows. (Note: This is still somewhat beta, but is the closest to complete of a tree I can create.) 13:40, September 12, 2012 (UTC)

Discussion
This is how category trees should be done, in all honesty - really there is no alternative to this, so I would support this being noted down somewhere in a guideline or policy. 20:47, September 11, 2012 (UTC)

Support-I agree with CoD4, and I also feel like a guideline or a policy should tell us on how categorization is branched. 23:13, September 11, 2012 (UTC)

Support - Although I truly fail to see a problem with the current category format, I think this one would work better. DarkMetroid567Talk 00:53, September 16, 2012 (UTC)

The more complete-y Category tree
(Note, all these will start with thier games prefixes, so Call of Duty 4 Primary Weapons) Master Categories are to stay off the pages. Ergo an M4A1 would be only be categorised as Call of Duty 4 Primary Weapons, it would not need the CoD4 and Weapons category. This is what I have written up. Certain games may need some alterations in obvious places. However it should be malleable enough to change. 13:44, September 14, 2012 (UTC)

 * Its good, easy for use, and gives very defining ways of categorizing. Seems good. 04:13, September 16, 2012 (UTC)

Project
Due to the overhauling required, I am proposing this become a project to enable the transition to be far simpler and quicker. 14:14, September 22, 2012 (UTC)
