7. Category:Deceased and DPL

From The Wandering Inn Wiki

Category:Deceased is a bit counter-intuitive to me. I understand the need to categorize dead characters but it's a big spoiler for some of them and while we hide the character status in their infoboxes, if the reader looks at their categories, they'll find out that way. To me this category should be removed (along with its subcategory Category:Souls Consumed and we should look into using DPL to create those lists from the information in character infoboxes. So until we research on how to use DPL to query wiki data, we can keep those at least :)

7. Category:Deceased being a spoiler for those browsing a character's categories is a non-issue, I've added a magic word so it won't appear on a character's Categories list, but it will still categorize them. \o/. Did the same for Category:Souls Consumed

Checkout Qum. He's dead, but Deceased won't appear in his categories

DPL...I'd like to talk more about this before having it installed. I've been looking into the different ways to go about creating lists without the manual upkeep for each one. There are actually 3 different DPL extensions). DPL is known to eat up lots of performance on a wiki, especially if it's used everywhere to make those dynamic lists. I've taken a look into SemanticMediaWIki and Cargo as alternatives, (Tim's friend suggested Cargo over SMW due to performance and bloat).

DPL...SMW...Cargo. Likely we want to test our choices out on the wiki's dev before we commit
