Difference between revisions of "Category talk:Ethnic groups"

::::Okay, I am fine with the "categorise each adventurer race in [[:Category:Denizens]], instead of the entire [[:Category:Adventurer races]]" argument, but I wouldn't categorise each of those in [[:Category:Adventurers]], too, since that can logically be accomplished just by having the entire adventurer races category categorised there (which wouldn't muddle all the race pages with the pages about actual adventurers). But now we've brought up other issues: why shouldn't the adventurer races category go in [[:Category:Humanoid races]] instead, since they are all obviously humanoid, and all humanoid races are obviously sentient denizens? And if you do that, you might as well do without the humanoid races category entirely, as would just be a meaningless intermediate between the ethnic group categories and all other pages within it. Perhaps it would be a good idea in the end to get rid of the humanoid races category, since not all sentient races are quite humanoid ([[glubbers]], for example, only have human heads (so not really humanoid), but they are sentient). In the end, we could just have [[:Category:Ethnic groups]], wherein all non-adventurer races will be categorised, and the subcategory [[:Category:Adventurer races]], which would also be categorised in [[:Category:Adventurers]]. I think that lessens also the problem of having [[:Category:Ethnic groups]] in [[:Category:Denizens]]. --[[User:Krypton|Krypton]] 16:31, 8 February 2008 (GMT)

:::::I agree with this proposed organization. [[:Category:Ethnic groups]]>All sentient races and [[:Category:Adventurer races]]>All playable races. In parallel, [[:Category:Adventurers]]>Adventurer articles and [[:Category:Adventurer races]]>All playable races. As some denizens would be linked in their article to the playable race page (e.g. [[Dwarf]]), those pages should not contain language which suggests that such a race is exclusive to adventurers, in spite of the fact that those pages would be primarily categorized [[:Category:Adventurer races]].
