- Everything below is categorized under Category:Database and linked there)
- Terms everything is categorized under Category:Term
- Term:FTL Travel
- Term:Earth
- Term:SPEC
- Term:Aera <- Yeah double entry (see below). This should be redirected to the species section of course ;)
- etc...
- Ships everything is categorized under Category:Ship
- Ship:Pacifier
- etc...
- Upgrades everything is categorized under Category:Upgrade and Category:Items and Technologies
- Upgrade:UpgradeName
- etc...

- I don't really care much whether "glossary" or "terminology" is used, so we can use whichever. jackS
- As am i, but i learned it the hard way with the old wiki that a good one is of much help later ;) pontiac
- If we want to split ships and upgrades into separate categories, let's do so with some sort of "Items and Technologies" (or better equivalent name) category, and put Ships, Weapons, Upgrades, and Cargo items in as subcategories. jackS
- Since Categorties and Page anmes are a complete different thing we can just man a category Category:Items and Technologies and put the mentioned ones in it :)) pontiac
- I'm actually quite fond of "Sapients and Other Noteworthy Species" ;-) "History and Timeline" is cleaner than my first thoughts, let's use that ;-) jackS
- but umm sure, let's figure something out. jackS
- No problem, see my answers above
- PS: you can use three tiles to make your username appear in the wiki and four to add the date/time pontiac 13:52, 28 Feb 2005 (PST)

Example 2
- My version of your version of things - jackS 14:05, 28 Feb 2005 (PST)
- Species Species are categorized under Category:Species, subspecies embedded within species entries
- Factions top level factions are categorized under Category:Faction, sub-factions are categorized under the appropriate higher level faction
- VS Tech
- VS Tech:Ships all ships categorized under Category:VS Tech:Ships
- Ships:Pacifier
- etc...
- VS Tech:Upgrades everything is categorized under Category:Upgrades
- Upgrades:UpgradeName
- etc...
- VS Tech:Weapons
- Weapons:Disruptor
- etc ...
- VS Tech:Cargo everything is categorized under Category:Cargo
- Cargo:CategoryName:CargoName
- etc...
- important to note that cargo categories are non-finalized, so we may want to keep this a flat hierarchy until we do so.
- History and Timeline everything is categorized under Category:History and Timeline
- Terminology everything is categorized under Category:Term
- Terminology:FTL Travel
- Terminology:Earth
- Terminology:SPEC
- Terminology:Aera <- Yeah double entry (see below). This should be redirected to the species section of course ;)
- etc...
Talk 2
- Ok, two comments on the second approach:
- Instead of making a site named VSTech just mak3e a Category where every VStech is classified in. As i said above with the "Items and TEchnology" or so category.
- When making Subfactions i think if would be better to use this layout:
- Faction:bigfaction
- Faction:bigfaction:subfaction
example 3
everything is categorized under Category:Database
- Terms everything is categorized under Category:Term

NOTE: everything in VS Tech will automatically be listed in Category:VS Tech NOTE2: e.g. History and Timeline and Category:History and Timeline have two completly different purposes (Hand edited page/ aut-collected listing of pages) Just FYI

jackS 14:22, 28 Feb 2005 (PST) ah... I was perhaps confused then. I was only thinking about the visible page topology, rather than the internal one.
jackS 14:23, 28 Feb 2005 (PST) oh, about the factions, yeah, that's what I meant. See above comment for source of my confusion
Ok, i try to clean up the example 3 now and post it as Example 4 pontiac
example 4
Ok, what about this?
everything is categorized under Category:Database
- Ships Category:Ship and Category:VS Tech
- Ship:Pacifier
- etc...
- Upgrades Category:Upgrade and Category:VS Tech
- Upgrade:UpgradeName
- etc...
- Weapons Category:Weapon and Category:VS Tech
- Weapon:Dumbfire
- etc...
- Cargo Category:Cargo and Category:VS Tech
- Cargo:CARGOCategoryName:CargoName
- Note that the CARGOCategoryName has nothing to do with the wiki-categories. We could do it with wiki-categories too though. But this is easiely done in the future too. pontiac 14:43, 28 Feb 2005 (PST)

- Looks Reasonable to me :) jackS 14:31, 28 Feb 2005 (PST)
- Ok, perfect :) So we can (hopefully) start to finally build a huge Vegastrike database without too much problems like in the old wiki. But now i'm off to sleep. need to go to work tomorrow :? pontiac 14:35, 28 Feb 2005 (PST)
jackS 14:42, 28 Feb 2005 (PST) sounds good. Looks like I need to bother to read whether it's a category or an article a link is pointing to before I edit it :-P we should change the database link from the front to point to a database article rather than the database category
You are right, it shouldn't point directly to the database page. I'll fix this right now pontiac 14:44, 28 Feb 2005 (PST)
