Forum:Brickipedia: The reincarnation/Categories

From Brickipedia, the LEGO Wiki

Most ideas taken from Forum:Categories, just redoing here to make it a bit more concise and easier for people to read since it's a long forum already, and started years ago so some parts aren't relevant. Please feel free to add more sections as needed. NovaHawk 00:03, 17 July 2014 (UTC)

Set categories

Sets in theme

Change to "Category:themename sets

  1. Because it makes much more sense. And if we ever get an overall structure going, it'd be better for the theme category to be a supercategory for minifigures, sets, books, etc NovaHawk 00:03, 17 July 2014 (UTC)

Keep at "Category:themename"

Sets from year

  • Currently "Category:1999 sets" for example

Change to "Category:Sets introduced in 1999"

  1. It may be longer, but we do it for minifigures without complaining, so why not sets? The wording also makes more sense to me- a set which is released in 1999, but also available in 2000 isn't really just a "1999" set, it was introduced in 1999. Also removes the problem with the item number category (2000 sets for numbers in the 2000-2999 item number range) NovaHawk 00:03, 17 July 2014 (UTC)

Keep at "Category:1999 sets"

Item number- group by 1000's or whatever we're doing?

  • Sorry, I know I've brought this up a few times, I lost the last place it was being discussed though. Currently, we group by 1000's for numbers 0-9999, then for 10000-99999 we group by 10000, 100000-999999 we group by 100000 and so on.
Group by 1000's
  1. Because it makes sense. And categories would get way to large NovaHawk 00:03, 17 July 2014 (UTC)
Group how we currently do

Automatic categories from infobox

  • Basically, if we wanted, we could have the item number categories done automatically. If you stick 4032 in the infobox, it could just add Category:4000 sets. NovaHawk 00:03, 17 July 2014 (UTC)
