- 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)

- 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

- Good idea, moving is easy done later pontiac
- Factions Category:Faction.., Subfactions under Category:Faction AND Category:Subfaction
- Species Category:Species

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
