Revision as of 15:45, 18 August 2008
Welcome
Hello! I think this might be the first talk page message in the wiki, and I'm doing it =D Anyway, good initiative with the DiabloWiki Crew, feel free to help expanding that as well as other things. What do you think about Help:Structure btw? any input is welcome, but I won't promise I'll change much ;)
Obviously, some categories are still missing, it will be a continuous work in progress. --Leord 14:27, 15 August 2008 (CEST)
Categories vs Articles
Hi Leord, nice of you to drop by. =]
I'm glad you brought up Help:Structure - I think it's a great idea and it's coming along nicely. One of the grey areas for me is defining where a categories and articles overlap, since Categories seem more like tags than articles. A specific instance of this is whether Category:Weapons should contain the article Weapons. I guess in general (and it looks like this is what you're doing with Help:Structure), we need to define where a category stops and articles start for some of the high level concepts. Other examples of this are Armor, Classes, Acts, etc.
Also, I think Help:Structure should (someday) be formalized as the official Sitemap. That way people could jump in and browse by Category from a high level starting point on one page. Thoughts?
