Editing The Wandering Inn Wiki:Categories Issues

After browsing through 90% of the categories here's some suggestions/questions. Here's a page for that since it'll allow easier discussions about each item (instead of posting this in a comment in the categories revamp discussion page.

If an item is crossed off and marked as DONE, this does not mean discussion is closed on an item. Feel free to reopen discussion if you disagree, with a comment.

# <s>[[:Category:Content]] shouldn't contain [[:Category:Browse]] (Browse should be the base)</s> DONE.
# <s>[[:Category:Fanworks]] should be in [[:Category:Media]]</s> DONE.
# <s>[[:Category:Appearances]] : Candidate for removal as it seems quite useless?</s> DONE. Moved to [[:Category:Browse]].
# <s>[[Pirateaba]] is in [[:Category:Content]] at its root. Ideally the category should not contain any page. Should we put Pirateaba's page in [[:Category:Media]] instead?</s> DONE.
# <s>[[:Category:Chapters]] should be in [[:Category:Timeline]] like books and volumes.</s> DONE Moved to [[:Category:Timeline]] due to unanimous agreement.
# <s>[[:Category:Chapters]] actually contains stuff like [[:Category:Volumes]] and [[:Category:Books]] which seems redundant if we put the category in [[:Category:Timeline]]</s> DONE.
# <s>[[: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 :)</s>DONE by a workaround (not displaying the Category in the page, but it's there)
# <s>[[:Category:Earthers Technology]] shouldn't be in [[:Category:Earthers]] (it's already in [[:Category:Equipment]] anyways.)</s> DONE.
# <s>[[:Category:Geneva]] should be in [[:Category:Earthers]] (it's in [[:Category:Characters]] right now)</s> DONE.
# <s>[[:Category:Nobles]] is a little messy at the moment, with families, houses and classes mixed up. Here's what I suggest. (see below)</sW DONE. (considered done, at least.
# <s>[[:Category:Bloodfeast Raiders]] and [[:Category:Circle of Thorns]] shouldn't be listed under [[:Category:Nobles]] I believe, as they might be made of nobles for the most part but aren't noble per se. Plus they already are in their own other categories.</s> DONE.
# <s>[[:Category:Crime]] and [[:Category:Bandits]] might be overlapping a bit. They have many subcategories in common  but I understand it's a complicated question.</s> DONE.
# <s>[[:Category:Crime]] is in [[:Category:Terminology]] whereas I think it hsould be better in [[:Category:Groups/Organisations]].</s> DONE. (left in Terminology but added to Groups)
# <s>[[:Category:Empresses]] is missing from [[:Category:Rulers]]</s> DONE.
# <s>[[:Category:Heartflame Set]] should be in [[:Category:Armors]] instead of [[:Category:Artifacts]].</s> DONE.
# <s>[[:Category:Adventurer Groups]] might be redundant in [[:Category:Groups/Organisations]] as it's already in [[:Category:Adventurers]]. Maybe remove it from Groups/Organizations?</s> DONE. (no changes)
# <s>Adventurer groups being all part of the [[:Category:Groups/Organisations]] makes it hard to browse. You can't easily see which categories ahve subcategories. I'd vote to remove Adventurer groups from the Groups/Organization category as it's already in [[:Category:Adventurer Groups]]. Note : this might be counter-intuitive with [[:Category:Characters]] that has all characters listed no matter their groups, pages are differenciated from groups anyway...</s> DONE. (no changes)
# <s>[[:Category:Four Great Companies]] misses one company :D</s> DONE. (renamed to Great Companies)
# <s>[[:Category:Bow-Queens of the Free Antinium]] and [[:Category:Bow-Singer Queens of the Free Antinium]] give me a headache.</s> DONE. (removed)
# <s>[[:Category:House Shoel]] should be in [[:Category:Groups/Organisations]] as well perhaps?</s> DONE. (Renamed to Shoel (House))
# [[:Category:House Marquin]] should be in [[:Category:Nobles]], right? Unless nobles only refer to non-royalty?
# <s>[[:Category:Wall Lords]] and Ladies should be in [[:Category:Nobles]] too perhaps?</s> DONE.
# <s>[[:Category:Liscor]] is in [[:Category:City-states]], is that a fact? I don't remember it's a city-state.</s> DONE. (no changes)
# <s>[[:Category:Hives]] seem to only have the [[Free Hive]] page listed. Unless we don't know the other hives' names if they have any?</s> DONE. (no changes)
# <s>[[:Category:Unseen Empire]] is a subcategory of [[:Category:Riverfarm]], which creates a circular dependency. Unseen Empire shouldn't be dependant on Riverfarm.</s> DONE.
# <s>[[:Category:Ant Queens]] should be removed in favor of [[:Category:Antinium Queens]]</s> DONE.
# <s>Are [[:Category:Clown Edition]], [[:Category:Doctor Edition]], [[:Category:King Edition]] really needed? Their names don't feel like they are what they represent (lettered chapters) and I feel like if someone wants to see chapters about Flos they'll look up the character and see chapters he's in, possibly. Besides, letters don't really mean a lot anymore nowadays.</s> DONE.
# <s>Should [[:Category:Vehicles]] be considered to be in [[:Category:Equipment]] like [[:Category:Mounts]] instead of being at the root? </s> DONE. (added to Mounts)
# NEW: Unique Categories that are Classes with a Prefix and/or Suffix like those mentioned in 19 should not exist. It floods the category pages with useless data. Some characters would create a high numbers of categories by themselves.<br><br>Bird would be part of:
#*Category:Bow-Singer Queen of the Free Antinium
#*Category:Bow-Queen of the Free Antinium
#*Category:Bow-Warden of the Songbird
#*Category:Queen of Freedom, Category:Antinium Queen
#*Category:Bird Hunter
#*Category:Amazing Liar. That's a total of 7.   Category:Antinium Queens should stay since it's also a Subspecies + Title Category, but that's another question. For the Class Category, Bird, in my suggestion would only be part of Category:Hunter, Category:Tactician, Category:Singer, Category:Revelantor, Category:Liar Category:Warden, and Category:Queen. Other example of Class Category: Pisces should only be part of Category:Necromancer, Category:Mage, Category:Slave, and Category:Duelist.
# We have some categories which have pages by the same name. My suggestion is to rename the page to the category with the same name. With a bit of luck it'll put the content in the category and redirect the page to its category. See [[House Walchais]] and [[:Category:House Walchais]] for example, or [[Circle of Thorns]] and [[:Category:Circle of Thorns]].

Nobles refactoring : 


 * Barons
 * Duchesses
 * Dukes
 * (...more classes...)
 * Families and Houses <-- Already exists in Groups/Organizations too as Families. Do we really want to differenciate Houses and Families?
   * Artien Family
   * Blackwing Family
   * Byres Family
   * Five Families
   * Gemscale Family
   * Shoel (House) <-- To make it appear under S instead of H
   * Walchais Family <-- Currently House Walchais. Should be renamed perhaps?)
   * etc.
 
Let's talk now! :D

Tell me what you think, if you approve of the different points or have answers/decisions to some of these questions</s>
