Verbs
Super tedious project: completing the verbs on the Special:WantedPages. Who wants to help? You can see TURN (verb), ASK (verb), and POKE (verb) for examples, but feel free to go further in depth or add to mine, or do any of the other wanted pages. ASK led me to adding a whole lot more detail to the Quin Telaren page. VANKRASN39 (talk) 16:57, 21 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)
- I'd feel more comfortable if every family was included if only for reference purposes. I don't mind creating the pages. I might need some guidance with template modifications and removal of the current category pages. If you have no objection to the overall proposal I'll begin on the page creation process. BTW your output is mind boggling and I'm going to recommend to Wyrom that you be awarded the inaugural NONPAREIL PRODUCTIVITY MEDAL for services above and beyond mere mortals. Mark (talk) 00:49, 6 January 2015 (CST)
- Ha, thanks, we have about 40 days to make up for and you're doing great work as well. I think the creature start template tweak should come after all the pages are made because the current category list is the best resource for making the new pages. I think this is a project we can share the work on, but my work here is going to slow down dramatically. Did you want to make a basic template for the new pages? I'm happy to help with that, too. VANKRASN39 (talk) 01:17, 6 January 2015 (CST)
- You deserve some sort of tangible compensation for your efforts. Thanks, but I won't need a template; page creation is the trivial part which I can handle. Fixing links from the creature pages to the new pages may be a bit more daunting unless it can be effected within the Template:Creature Start. Mark (talk) 01:29, 6 January 2015 (CST)
- I think we can declare this project complete and, as far as my goals, a great success. Thanks, Mark! VANKRASN39 (talk) 11:40, 9 January 2015 (CST)
- The creature body types are now properly organized. VANKRASN39 (talk) 16:57, 21 January 2015 (CST)
