Note to geyser: being your usual diligent self, I know you will notice this new page. The wiki seemed a good place to post this as a working document that we can use to arrive at the final tree of categories. Some parts will look familiar because they're from your original draft.

:Also, just a reminder, the Category Tree extension goes hand in hand with this, so we should ask Alloc about installing it on the wiki. Without it, the only page that shows categories is Special:Categories, which lists all cat.s at all levels; CatTree will let us see the hierarchy properly, once it's in place.

:Please don't be pedantic about "chibi" etc. If it's "chibi" to those who draw it, then it should be good enough for you. I can assure you that Russians (RedDog and SeverED included) have no idea what "SD" means. And to me as a non-native English speaker, "super deformed" sounds, well, ugly: it's an inconvenient mouthful with a [[wikipedia:teratology|teratological]] connotation. "Chibi" has a much more kawaii sound to it, so unless you have another Japanese term, just STFU ^_^ --[[User:Geyser|geyser]] 22:54, 10 November 2008 (CET)
:"Contents" sounds sensible for something that's supposed to read roughly as a TOC. If you're looking for a funky name, you can call the root "Prime". --[[User:Geyser|geyser]] 22:54, 10 November 2008 (CET)
:"Early renders" is applied improperly sometimes to in-game screenshots, sometimes to stuff that was rendered after Oni was shipped. I'd delete it. --[[User:Geyser|geyser]] 22:54, 10 November 2008 (CET)
:The "Art by Mullins" is not really fan art, and some of the art by Guido and Russian artists is project-oriented. I suggest a looser hierarchy there. --[[User:Geyser|geyser]] 22:54, 10 November 2008 (CET)
:"Wallpapers" don't necessarily qualify as fan art: think screenshots, high-res versions of splashscreens, or more or less "official" wallpapers. --[[User:Geyser|geyser]] 22:54, 10 November 2008 (CET)
:"Humor" sounds like too general a name for humorous images. You can make that name more specific and/or allow for a more general Humor category. --[[User:Geyser|geyser]] 22:54, 10 November 2008 (CET)
:"Illustrations" is an ambiguous name, and it is counterintuitive (and in many cases wrong) how is implicitly excludes art, screenshots, etc. --[[User:Geyser|geyser]] 22:54, 10 November 2008 (CET)
:Frames from the intro and outro don't really qualify as in-game content, as well as the splashscreens. Also, what about other games than Oni? --[[User:Geyser|geyser]] 22:54, 10 November 2008 (CET)
:I'm afraid I can't make a definitive statement on any trunk after "Images" as a whole. Just a few casual remarks right now. More, later, maybe. --[[User:Geyser|geyser]] 22:54, 10 November 2008 (CET)
:"Oni support" sounds like an "Out-of-universe Oni" or "Technically Oni" kind of thing. Have a quick look at [http://dunepedia.wetpaint.com/page/Main+Category%3A+Out+of-Universe+Categories Dunepedia]. What about modding tutorials? --[[User:Geyser|geyser]] 22:54, 10 November 2008 (CET)
:I wouldn't call "Templates" an "Administrative" category. Also, the categories should be named as explicitly as possible and in "... ''templates''" --[[User:Geyser|geyser]] 22:54, 10 November 2008 (CET)
:I would have other remarks, e.g., about "Added value" or "AE" vs "Modding projects", but that'd be more or less subjective and polemical. Later. --[[User:Geyser|geyser]] 22:54, 10 November 2008 (CET)
:Generally, categorizing modding projects right now is hard, because the tools are in development and the perspectives are unclear. Scope creep. --[[User:Geyser|geyser]] 22:54, 10 November 2008 (CET)
:I think we both know by now that the Cat Tree is not really a tree, i.e., multiple parents are actually allowed. Please take this into account. --[[User:Geyser|geyser]] 22:54, 10 November 2008 (CET)

I believe all current categories are in this tree. I also renamed some, and obviously had to make a few new ones.<br>
