UniWiki:Categorization: Difference between revisions

From EVE University Wiki
m Remove all {{Anchor}} where the anchor contents was identical to the header title. Headings and {{Anchor}} both parse into an html ID. The html protocol says that an ID must be unique on a page.

Update complete. Thanks for help Evon :)

{{cleanup|Category descriptions and conflicts should be described on each individual category page, than transcluded on this page using <code><nowiki>{{Category:Accounts}}</nowiki></code> syntax.

In addition to the general wiki categorization guidelines provided by [[Help:Categorization]], there are several considerations for categorization that are unique to the UniWiki. Because the UniWiki is a relatively small project, its categories are not as granular as those found in projects such as Wikipedia. Relatedly, the small amount of categories often serves to make navigation by category ''easier'' than in other projects, so proper category organization is imperative.

* Articles should generally only be categorized in the lowest-level category that is appropriate (for example, Small Gneiss Deposit would go in [[:Category:Ore sites]] rather than [[:Category:Mining]]). Exceptions exist in cases where an article would not be placed in a category where a reader may logically choose to look for it (for example, Catching the Scent is an Epic Arc mission, and is placed in both [[:Category:Epic Arcs]] and [[:Category:Missions]], even though Epic Arcs is a subcategory of Missions).

==Category conflicts==
===PvE and PvP===
[[#PvE|Category:PvE]] and [[#PvP|Category:PvP]] are mutually exclusive; articles are strongly related to one or to neither, and should not be assigned to both categories. Articles detailing general combat concepts or mechanics should be assigned to [[#Combat|Category:Combat]] in lieu of either of these categories.
===Fleets and PvP===
Articles assigned to [[#Fleets|Category:Fleets]] should not also be automatically assigned to [[#PvP|Category:PvP]]. Fleets are used outside of PvP in a variety of situations, particularly in [[Incursions]], but also during group mission running, or as a means to form "standing" or "quick-response" fleets.
===User Interface and Game mechanics===
Most images depicting elements of EVE user interface would normally belong in [[#User Interface|Category:User Interface]]. However, some images may be used to easily show ship or item attributes as viewed via "Show Info". In these cases, [[#Game mechanics|Category:Game mechanics]] may be used.
===Accounts/Applications and API===
Images related to account services and management generally belong in [[#Accounts|Category:Accounts]] (in the case of API management) or [[#Applications|Category:Applications]] (for third-party applications that use API keys). However, when these images depict the use of API keys, [[#API|Category:API]] may be used. With the upcoming deprecation of both XML and CREST APIs, this may cease to be a conflict.
===Fitting and Fittings===
[[#Fittings|Category:Fittings]] contains all sub-articles of the form {{co|lightgreen|<ship name>/Fittings}} that contain fittings for specific ships categorized in [[#Ship Database|Category:Ship Database]]. This category should be considered deprecated and no longer in use, as the [[Fittings Department]] will be migrating these fittings to the main Ship Database pages and removing the sub-articles. All other articles containing information about general fitting principles, or articles related to modules, should be placed in the new [[#Fitting|Category:Fitting]].
