Any ideas? Maybe like changing Category:Buildings into Category:Structures? --Krypton 13:17, 26 February 2008 (GMT)
- You can (and probably should) change it to Category:Buildings for now. Asara 01:12, 27 February 2008 (GMT)
- Eh? Did you mean to say Category:Structures, or are you saying this article can be categorised in Category:Buildings? Whichever it is, feel free to follow up on it yourself (though I really don't think bridges qualify as "buildings"). --Krypton 04:49, 27 February 2008 (GMT)
- "build·ing /ˈbɪldɪŋ/ 2. anything built or constructed. 1. Building, edifice, structure refer to something built. Building and structure may apply to either a finished or an unfinished product of construction, and carry no implications as to size or condition. Edifice is a more formal word and narrower in application, referring to a completed structure, and usually a large and imposing one. Building generally connotes a useful purpose (houses, schools, business offices, etc.); structure suggests the planning and constructive process." I suppose it can work as a stretch.

- I went by Cambridge Dictionary's definition though ("a structure with walls and a roof such as a house or factory, or the business of making these"), which makes bridge seemingly not qualify as a building at all. --Krypton 16:31, 27 February 2008 (GMT)
- Hence semantics. Asara 17:02, 27 February 2008 (GMT)

What other things would go in here if the category was renamed to Structures? I don't want it to be too broad and end up another useless category that has everything in it. Asara 17:04, 27 February 2008 (GMT)
- Well, the thought initially occurred to me because I was trying to decide where Lantis' Crossing could go. Living Spire? Nothing strikes me at the moment. --Krypton 21:41, 27 February 2008 (GMT)
- Yeah, "Structures" might open it up too large that it would presume the addition of things like the Living Spire, Icons, Proper Temples, famous statues, landmark structures, CTF effigy, relics, all the city improvements... Asara 02:22, 28 February 2008 (GMT)
If worse comes to worse, we could just make a "Bridges" category or rename the buildings category to "Buildings and Bridges" =P. Asara 13:46, 28 February 2008 (GMT)
