Added an example of what you might be talking about to the top of this page (pretend this belongs to the items catagory) --[[User:BaldMonkey|BaldMonkey]] 01:57, 1 Oct 2005 (EDT) |

| + | Something else I just thought about would be that there should be away to have the templet I used at the top [[Template:Itemtoc]] take a variable so that when you use it it could add the article to the correct category as well. So that when you add the item to an article the code would looke something like <nowiki>{{Template:Itemtoc|Plate Armor}}</nowiki> and the item will be added to the [[:Category:Plate Armor]] page as well as having the above template listed on the page. Hmmm Okay now I'm really thinking to much about this so I'm going to carry on talk of this over at the [[Category_talk:Items|Items Talk]] page. --[[User:BaldMonkey|BaldMonkey]] 21:33, 1 Oct 2005 (EDT) |

Revision as of 01:33, 2 October 2005
Template:Itemtoc I'm planning on modifying the template such that the Article type will automatically add the associated Category. -- Laisren 08:01, 2 Jul 2005 (EDT)
So, I'm just curious...how is this better than the regular Categories thing? At the moment, I think it'd be preferable to put the Category box at the top of each page instead of the bottom (if it's possible), but I'm willing to change. --FeldmanSkitzoid 22:26, 25 Jul 2005 (EDT)

I like the idea but from what I can gather you really are simply redoing what can already be done with the category ability. From what I can tell you basically just want to have the category display at the top and you would like it to link to the root category as well if it is a sub category.
The category displaying on the bottom rather than the top that is a function of the way the "theme/layout" for the site is designed it can be changed but the admins would need to do this. The gategory displaying on the bottom is because the article is the important part not the area it belongs to. If a user is unsure what what an article is about then the article is not writen very well. Categories are mearly a way to help the reader find more information in the same area. --BaldMonkey 00:48, 1 Oct 2005 (EDT)
