Halopedia:Standards Council of Halopedia/Legislative Branch/Standards/Categories Standard

Proposal
Categories are methods of organization, not grouping. Having articles with excessive categorization for the sake of grouping may hinder the organization methods. As such, we have the Categorization standard


 * 1) No category is to be made a subcategory of itself or of subsequent divisions.
 * 2) No article is to have a category if a more accurate subcategory exists.
 * 3) No article is to include both the accurate subcategory and its larger category. Only the subcategory should be included.
 * 4) No article is to include a non-existant category. If an article includes a non-existant category, the category should be created or replaced with an existing category.

Comments/Discussion
I'm not sure I understand. Is this the point I brought up about articles being listed under both categories and their subcategories? --Dragonc laws (talk ) 05:25, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah. The fact that you don't understand is proof that it needs serious rewording.  In fact, outside of programmers, I think it would be quite hard for most people to understand. --forgottenlord 13:40, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

Perhaps:


 * 1) No category is to be made a subcategory of itself or of subsequent divisions.
 * 2) No article is to have a category if a more accurate subcategory exists.
 * 3) No article is to include both the accurate subcategory and its larger category. Only the subcategory should be included.

Is this better? Do I even talk about the right stuff? --Dragonc laws (talk ) 18:19, 21 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Perfect, thanks --forgottenlord 22:16, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

Should you also include no dead links? --  Lovemuffin  •••  Talk undefined  Edit Count undefined Contributions undefined 01:27, 26 September 2008 (UTC)


 * What exactly do you mean? "If the category link does not exist, either replace it with an existing category or create it"? --Dragonc laws (talk ) 02:50, 3 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Another excellent suggestion --forgottenlord 03:00, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
