Clean up

I'm currently in the process of cleaning up this category. A lot of these articles are double categorized, which really isn't necessary as most of them fit into one of the three sub-categories.--Spartacus ^{Talk • Contribs} 12:21, 2 June 2015 (EDT)

Isn't the category used to categorize worlds that are planets? If the planet just happens to be a human colony, then the "human colonies" category is added in addition to the planet one. - NightHammer (talk) 13:38, 2 June 2015 (EDT)

Well "Human colonies" (as well as "Forerunner worlds" and Covenant worlds") are already sub-categorized under "Planets". It just doesn't make sense to categorize them twice. This should serve as a parent category to those others, as well as a category for known planets that aren't under anyone's control.--Spartacus ^{Talk • Contribs} 14:07, 2 June 2015 (EDT)

I see your point. But the subcategory also would categorize asteroids, moons, etc. colonized by humans. Honestly, in my opinion, the "Human colonies" category (and the "Forerunner worlds" and Covenant worlds") shouldn't be categorized under "Planets"" or "Moons" or whatever, but just under the "Unified Earth Government" category, for example. If someone, for whatever reason wanted to specifically look at planets or moons in the Halo universe, they would be able to just use their respective categories. However, if we remove the category in favor of one of the colonies categories, the user wouldn't be able to see all categorized moons (again, for example), as the colonies categories contain a variety of astronomical objects. I don't know, I may be overthinking this. - NightHammer (talk) 16:40, 2 June 2015 (EDT)
