(some fixes and better use of mult. inheritance)

: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.
Summary: The basic categories take this overall approach:
: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.
*'''two''' for wiki management ('''Media''' for images and '''Wiki Support''' for templates and other supporting pages),
::;Iritscen
*'''two''' for in-universe stuff ('''Inside Oni''' and '''Beyond Oni''', for Oni 1 and Oni 2-ish, respectively),
: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)
*'''one''' for helping people play Oni ('''Oni Support'''),
::I wasn't specifically objecting to the word "chibi", just the category's existence. It's silly. But I can live with that. --[[User:Iritscen|iritscen]] 00:09, 11 November 2008 (CET)
*'''one''' for helping people mod Oni ('''Oni Modding'''), and
:"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)
*'''one''' for an outside-world approach to Oni ('''Real World'''), which will also catch the random non-Oni-related articles.
::"Contents" is fine, I have no problem with that. --[[User:Iritscen|iritscen]] 00:09, 11 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)
Trying to narrow the number of cat.s down from here only artificially forces together articles that are unlike each other. The fact that it makes a total of [[seven]] categories is purely coincidental, but I think it's a sign that we're doing the right thing. :-3
::Yeah, it's potentially confusing. Removed. --[[User:Iritscen|iritscen]] 00:09, 11 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)
::Ah, looser isn't quite what's needed, I see it now; this kind of situation is meant to be handled as I've done it now, with a separate cat. for "Art by artists". As you pointed out, multiple inheritance means we can now say that some Oni 2 art is "by Guido" (and not fan art) as well as putting it under "Oni 2 concept art". --[[User:Iritscen|iritscen]] 00:09, 11 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)
::You're right; moved it out from under Fan art. --[[User:Iritscen|iritscen]] 00:09, 11 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)
::Er, I made it "Humor images", is that specific enough? Don't know how else it can be improved, it seems fine that way to me. --[[User:Iritscen|iritscen]] 00:09, 11 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)
::You're right, the word "illustrations" usually implies art. I have changed it back to using the current name, "Article illustrations". --[[User:Iritscen|iritscen]] 00:09, 11 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)
::Sorry, this is the only place I flat-out disagree with you. In-game is anything you see after double-clicking the Oni icon. As for other games/media, I've made two cat.s for those below. --[[User:Iritscen|iritscen]] 00:09, 11 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)
::Also, Halopedia uses the category "The Real World" to discuss Halo as a game, not a story. I think saying "real world" is the clearest term we can go with. Trying that for now. Still not sure yet where pages about merely Oni-related stuff would go, like "Myth" or "Nausicaa". --[[User:Iritscen|iritscen]] 00:09, 11 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)
::Templates are definitely administrative, unless you propose making another level-1 cat. for them, which to me isn't justified. --[[User:Iritscen|iritscen]] 00:09, 11 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)
::I'm not that confident about where I placed "Added value". And "AE" should probably be under "Current modding projects"; trying it under there for now to see how it looks; note that only pages directly related to your AE work would be there, none of that "all modding belongs to the AE" nonsense. :-3 --[[User:Iritscen|iritscen]] 00:09, 11 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)
::Nah, it's not that hard. :-3 --[[User:Iritscen|iritscen]] 00:09, 11 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)
::Yeah, still trying to fully wrap my head around the methodology. --[[User:Iritscen|iritscen]] 00:09, 11 November 2008 (CET)

Latest revision as of 20:47, 4 February 2024

Summary: The basic categories take this overall approach:

  • two for wiki management (Media for images and Wiki Support for templates and other supporting pages),
  • two for in-universe stuff (Inside Oni and Beyond Oni, for Oni 1 and Oni 2-ish, respectively),
  • one for helping people play Oni (Oni Support),
  • one for helping people mod Oni (Oni Modding), and
  • one for an outside-world approach to Oni (Real World), which will also catch the random non-Oni-related articles.

Trying to narrow the number of cat.s down from here only artificially forces together articles that are unlike each other. The fact that it makes a total of seven categories is purely coincidental, but I think it's a sign that we're doing the right thing. :-3
