Glossary

I see that the Main Page lists "Glossary" as a category. I don't see too many pages being created just to define terms, so I suggest making it a page/article instead, categorized in "Guide." Individual terms can be treated as topic headers and linked as appropriate. --McClaw (talk) 14:11, 13 February 2013 (MST)

Sounds appropriate to me. I really did not know it was listed as a Category. When I was populating the Main Page, I must have just Copied and Pasted one of the other Categories and then just changed the Title Name on the link. I will go ahead and change the link over to a page/article. Thanks for catching it for me. Cdrras (talk) 17:17, 13 February 2013 (MST)
Actually on second thought, we could completely do away with the "Glossary" and delete it. I started thinking...I don't even think it is really necessary, especially since most pages are being tagged into a specific Category. I guess my initial thought was to just tag everything in categories and subcategories under Glossary. (ie. Apple would be tagged under something like Category:Food. And then the Category:Food page would be tagged with Category:Glossary. It was just a quick way to find anything if someone was too lazy to use the search bar. Thoughts?

Location Category

What would you think of replacing the "Pole" and "Equator" categories with "Location"? It could also apply to not-yet-created pages "Core," "Space," and maybe "Surface." --McClaw (talk) 16:09, 19 February 2013 (MST)

I like the idea. It definitely defines things a little better as well as giving "Space", "Core","Surface" a home. As for the Pole and Equator categories, we could either 1. delete them since they would be unnecessary or 2. Make the categories subcategories in the Location category. Either works for me. I like things clean and simplified. Cdrras (talk) 16:57, 19 February 2013 (MST)

Attribute Bars

What would you think of renaming "Environment" and "Health" to "X Bar" and redirecting from their original pages? This would then be the standard for "Hunger" and "Breath," too. My thought is that it clarifies that the page refers to an attribute, not a more general game feature. --McClaw (talk) 09:29, 20 February 2013 (MST)

You are right! Good point! On the Main Page the attributes are listed under "Character Attributes" so it is easily understood. However, if someone goes to the page, it does not clarify that it is an attribute except in the description. The title should be more descriptive. If you go to Environment, you don't know whether it is the attribute or referring to the actual environment. With that said, we should have pages that say "X Bar" and have the originals redirect to them. Cdrras (talk) 09:59, 20 February 2013 (MST)
