Organization
We need to figure out how to organize things.
Our root categories so far are Characters, Planets, Organizations, and Episodes. There are subcategories under Characters for Aliens, Robots, and Humans.
I'm not sure I understand the value of adding the Species category... If anything, we need something to differentiate an alien from an alien species. Perhaps make Species a sibling of Characters, and it includes articles on entire races (Neptunians, Slurm Worms, Etc) instead of those being sub-categories of "Aliens" as they are now, then "Aliens" would contain only the specific characters? Readers could still get a list of aliens of a given species by going to the species' page.
How about this hierarchy?<br\> Characters
Aliens Slurms MacKinzie Elzar etc. Robots Bender Robot Devil etc. Humans Fry Leela etc.
Alien Species
Neptunians Omicronians etc.
Places
Companies Planet Express Robot Arms etc Bureaucracies DOOP The Central Bureauracy Planets Earth The Neutral Planet etc.
Technology
Farnsworth's Inventions (There's enough of these for their own category) Smell-O-Scope etc. Ships PE Ship Nimbus etc. Gadgets Wristlojackimator Suicide Booths Products Slurm Bachelor Chow
Misc
Brannigan's Law Sexlexia Alien Languages etc...
Media
Episodes Comics Possib. Fan scripts even?
Merchandise
DVD collections Action Figures Games
How's this sound? I can't think of anything that couldn't be placed logically in that hierarchy, but tell me what you think. Anything missing, or that wouldn't fit? If we don't decide on our categories now, it'll be a real pain in the butt to change them all later so we should make this decision soon.
Gopher
Buddy13 I like what you did mostly. I only disagree with "Places" as it adds unnecessary depth. I think we should stick with "Organizations" since that can cover everything, like Doop, the political parties (Tastycrats and Fingerlicans), and Planet Express, Mom Corp, etc. And planets in their own category.
Additionally, I think "Farnsworth's Inventions" shoud be "Farnsworth's Creations" since I'm not sure you can count atomic supermen and yelling albino gorillas as "inventions"
What do you think?
<later> Actually, with Robot Arms, maybe a "Places" really does need to be there, but I still think "organizations" should be separate. IMO.
[Gopher] How about this to replace the previous "Places" hierarchy
Organizations (by itself)
Places
Planets
Things like the Robot Arms Apts could just be under Places, while Earth is a Place and a Planet. Planets definately need to be grouped, but I know there will be a lot of places that aren't planets OR organizations.
Once we nail this down we should make a page showing this hierarcy, linked to each category page, and put it on the main page.
Buddy13 I think that looks good. New New York, the Sewers, and the decaying ruins of Old New York could also be non-planet places. I think we can call that final, you?
