Unconventional Category Usage
Tweaking certain categories to be more functional, as opposed to simply being there as sort of... "yes these are things that are like this."
This is unconventional, but since categories automatically respond to these relatively simple tweaks and users seem to like it, we're going with it.
A more ideal tool regarding this "functionality" would be an interwiki search, but I do not know how to code these, and those who have the know-how either don't want to spend the time making it, or are unsure if our current version of MediaWiki can support it and also do not want to spend time making it.
To keep track of unconventional categories in case future editors wish to tweak them more or remove them alltogether, see:
- Category:Weapons (this page)
- Category:Category_Templates - use "what links here" for any template that uses a backslash.
Forum Discussion
These threads are related to the content of this discussion page (some of them are options/alternatives to tweaking categories):
- Special Categories - Numeric Organization, Unconventional Use
- Sortable list for Armor/Helm/Shield/Weapons
- A search tool would be better, ultimately
