One thing I've really tried to do is make the wiki more navigable via categories.

What do people think about deleting this part of the template and getting rid of the excess categories? This is something I've never felt comfortable doing without some sort of consensus/permission, and there weren't really enough editors for one.

:I'm in favor of this idea with one caveat. The ''<Creature name> Family Creatures'' (eg. '''Rat Family Creatures''') categories account for at least 30% of all categories. My suggestion would be to replace these categories with individual pages which would include a list of the applicable creatures. This of course would require (not exactly sure on the number) approximately 240 new pages. Each of these pages would be placed in ''Category:Creature Families'' which would become a sub-category of ''Category:Creatures''. Hey! Let me know when you're done :) [[User:SPYRIDONM1|Mark]] ([[User talk:SPYRIDONM1|talk]]) 23:34, 5 January 2015 (CST) |

Creature family categories
One thing I've really tried to do is make the wiki more navigable via categories. Something standing in my way has always been the creature family categories that generate from Template:Creature start. Most of the categories created only have one or two entries and it really bloats the category list. What do people think about deleting this part of the template and getting rid of the excess categories? This is something I've never felt comfortable doing without some sort of consensus/permission, and there weren't really enough editors for one. VANKRASN39 (talk) 01:49, 4 January 2015 (CST)
- I'm in favor of this idea with one caveat. The <Creature name> Family Creatures (eg. Rat Family Creatures) categories account for at least 30% of all categories. My suggestion would be to replace these categories with individual pages which would include a list of the applicable creatures. This of course would require (not exactly sure on the number) approximately 240 new pages. Each of these pages would be placed in Category:Creature Families which would become a sub-category of Category:Creatures. Hey! Let me know when you're done :) Mark (talk) 23:34, 5 January 2015 (CST)
- Well, what if only those with 2 or more creatures got their own page? Would that be sufficient? VANKRASN39 (talk) 00:26, 6 January 2015 (CST)
