Frisbeeteria: In an effort to clean up the Nations Category, I'd like to ask all nations who have created sub-categories (SubCats) in Nation name to remove [[Category:Nations]] from their subcat.

The principle namespace in this wiki is the Nations category, as anyone using an Infobox is automatically added to it. By posting SubCats in Nations, the actual nations are pushed far down the page. While this gives prime space to those of you who have spent long hours updating this wiki, it sorta defeats the purpose to highlight "featured nations" just by virtue of having a Subcat.

I propose arriving at a consensus here, then hopefully having the SubCat owner themselves move their category to :Roleplaying or :Gameplaying, or perhaps just removing the Category: statement altogether. Any that are left would be re-catergorized or de-categorized by Admin at an agreed-upon time. -- Frisbeeteria 01:11, 8 Oct 2004 (GMT)


I'd suggest removing the auto-categorization bit from the nation infobox, just adding it manually into new articles. This way Category:Nations would still be a list of nation articles, without the nasty doubles. -- Crimmer 01:20, 8 Oct 2004 (GMT)
Actually, ditch that. I support Frisb's idea, but instead of Roleplay/Gameplay categorization, place the subcategories in a separate category for them, like Category:Articles categorized by nation or Category:Nation subcategories. -- Crimmer 01:31, 8 Oct 2004 (GMT)

Suggestion: Create a new [[Category:Factbook]] and limit it exclusively to subcategories named for nations, ie: [[Category:Frisbeeteria]]. That way, it doesn't matter whether it's gameplay or roleplay or IRC - the nation decides what belongs. -- Frisbeeteria 06:32, 8 Oct 2004 (GMT)
