Cleaning up the racial categories on the Evelopedia
« on: 26 Feb 2011, 15:14 »
http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Category:Gallente

I just added Kaleigh's "Polytheism in Gallente culture" to that, for easy access, but it's cluttered with various inane things...like "Contested Gallente Roden Shipyard" and "Contested Roden Shipyard"...

Is there any need for those to be there? Can we just remove them?

You should probably ask over on the wiki discussion area, but I think you're onto a good idea.

Probably would be best to add a subcategory along the lines of "Gallente lore/PF", "Gallente capsuleers" and perhaps other categories of Gallente-themed stuff? Doesn't seem right to outright remove some Gallente stuff from the... well, Gallente category.

I like the implications of Gallentians being punched in the face by walking up to a Minmatar as they so freely use another person's culture as a fad.

You should apply to the ISD.

Agreed. I dunno if they have YARR positions open, but I hope they do (the wiki needs it).

Hm, I am thinking of subcategories...and others could follow suit for the other factions maybe...

Gallente Characters (already a Gallente NPC characters category which is on a completely different page), Gallente Chronicles...then what?

There's all these small items as well...Gallente Items...

What we want to see is opening the main faction page, scrolling down to "Articles about and relating to x" and access good stuff, not a mess like it is now.

My issue ATM is 1) learning the interface (Which I can do) and 2) Seeing how to get "Gallente NPC Characters" as a subcategory in the Gallente articles category...because there's overlap there.
