Forums - Nationalities categories

This page is an archive. Please do not edit the contents of this page. No reason for archiving given. I think cateorgies based on nationalities e.g. A French category would e a great addition to this site. Most LEGO figures have nationalities anyway, e.g Ninjago characters are Ningaogin, City/Town characters are Danish. As City is based of Copenhagen and Town was based in Billund. Chima characters are Chiman. And nearly all licencesd characters have nationalities too. Those who nationalities we don't know we could contact LEGO and ask Soupperson1 Friends are Forever! <3 Everything you just listed is unofficial, so I'm going to say no. Also what you said about City/Town isn't true... --ToaMeiko (talk) 17:37, 22 October 2014 (UTC) In City sets feature European capital cities on maps, but Copenhagen is absent and Billund is present. I asked a LEGO store employee a while back and he said City/Town are based in Denmark. Ninjago/Chima are set in places called Ninjago/Chima so adding an AN at the end makes sense. Soupperson1 Friends are Forever! <3 Still sounds unofficial to me.... --LK901 18:52, 22 October 2014 (UTC) Per LK901, plus adding letters to make up a word doesn't make sense at all. And unless the LEGO store employee you talked to had an official source, then we can't just go adding unconfirmed/unofficial information to pages. --ToaMeiko (talk) 18:56, 22 October 2014 (UTC) It's not exactally hard to go to LEGO.com and ask if you don't believe me :P Adding an / ish is what most countries did. Why can't we do the same? Anyway we could easily ask for a list of themes and what countries are they from/what nationalities are the characters Soupperson1 Friends are Forever! <3 Either way, how are these important details to include on a page? Why can't people just go to Category:Ninjago Minifigures or Category:Town minifigures? There's no point in adding this... --ToaMeiko (talk) 19:06, 22 October 2014 (UTC) If minifigures are from the same country, the cases for many licensed figures. It be cool for our younger readers to know if they're the same nationality of a figure aswell. Soupperson1 Friends are Forever! <3 Per Meiko about the current categories we have, per LK about the unofficial stuff, and per myself on the idea that this can quickly get out of hand. I kind of get what you mean. For example, it could be neat for one to say "Oh, hey, this Monster Fighter is Canadian. Are any other minifigures?" but this just does not seem significant enough for a category. Stuff like this is best left to individual characters' Backgrounds, and categories should be restricted to things pertaining to LEGO sets and LEGO concepts. Otherwise, it starts getting out of hand, and we have stuff like "Category:Minifigures wearing fedoras" and "Category:Minifigures who are leaders of a team" and etc. BrickfilmNut (talk) 19:23, 22 October 2014 (UTC) Expanding on your comment of it easily getting out of hand, it would also require a great deal of work on our part to have to research minifigures if someone adds the claim that some minifigure is of some ethnicity. Whether or not that's true, we'd have to find out and find a way to provide a source for that information. I can foresee a lot of unofficial/unconfirmed categories being added to pages and we'd have no way to find out if it's true, especially when most minifigures are intentionally designed to be ethnically and culturally neutral. --ToaMeiko (talk) 19:27, 22 October 2014 (UTC) Pretty much per most here- it'd cause a lot of headaches, and doesn't really seem too useful to me. NovaHawk (talk) 23:01, 22 October 2014 (UTC) P I think this is resolved with a no Soupperson1 Friends are Forever! <3
