Forums: Index War Room Category project
Forum logo

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.

  • Games
    • Call of Duty 4
      • Single Player
        • Single Player Levels
        • Cut Single Player Levels
      • Multiplayer
        • Multiplayer Levels
        • Cut Multiplayer Levels
        • Multiplayer ranks
      • Perks
      • Killstreaks
      • Weapons
      • Images
      • Sound Files
      • Etc.

(Note: This is still somewhat beta, but is the closest to complete of a tree I can create.)

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.  FANMADE_Animated_Derpy_Hooves_desktop_ponies_sprite.gif Sig1.png Sig2.png  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. 132527029757.gifArgorrath おしゃべり%E7%95%B0%E8%AD%B0%E3%81%82%E3%82%8A.jpg23:13, September 11, 2012 (UTC)

        • SAS Characters
        • Spetsnaz Characters
        • OpFor Characters
        • Miscellaneous Characters
      • Vehicles
        • Tanks
        • Jeeps
        • Helicopters
        • Jets
      • Music
      • Images – (This will be linked to the image projects categorising efforts)
      • Achievements
      • Videos
        • Teaser Trailer Videos
        • Walkthrough Videos
        • Demonstration Videos

(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.

Seems good to me. Conqueror of all Zombies (talk) 03:42, September 16, 2012 (UTC)
Its good, easy for use, and gives very defining ways of categorizing. Seems good. 132527029757.gifArgorrath おしゃべり%E7%95%B0%E8%AD%B0%E3%81%82%E3%82%8A.jpg04:13, 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)

As something that cannot be done in a single afternoon and requires a lot of effort to complete, I support this becoming a long term Project in my capacity as someone who turns Project into a proper noun. 19:54, September 22, 2012 (UTC)
Support-I agree with Verantha. Since this cannot be done in a single afternoon and will take awhile it would be best for this to be a long term project. 132527029757.gifArgorrath おしゃべり%E7%95%B0%E8%AD%B0%E3%81%82%E3%82%8A.jpg19:57, September 22, 2012 (UTC)

Support - I definitely agree with Verantha/Argo here, this is better as a long-term project than something we can just throw around as a guideline and hope for the best.  FANMADE_Animated_Derpy_Hooves_desktop_ponies_sprite.gif Sig1.png Sig2.png  13:35, September 23, 2012 (UTC)

Starting the project

As we have an ample amount of people willing to help we can start on the project as soon as possible. Awards will be worked on and admins can be easily contacted for the removing of redundant categories.

Dead

Is this forum dead/Has this project started? http://i.imgur.com/vm7BQ.png 02:33, December 21, 2012 (UTC)

It has started. However I'm bogged down in other work so I haven't been able to do this + everything else. The issue is everyone that said they would help has yet to start helping. 02:43, December 21, 2012 (UTC)
Alrighty. http://i.imgur.com/vm7BQ.png 01:52, December 22, 2012 (UTC)
