Category talk:Plant creatures

Move
Does anyone else agree that the non-sentient plants (elm, honeysuckle) should be moved to something like Category:Vegetation as they are not really inhabitants of the Realms? Articles like shambling mound and treant I believe can remain in this category, as they are considered (at least semi-) intelligent creatures.

On the same not I was going to create Category:Herbs under items, but thought twice and perhaps that it doesn't fit there. If no one disagrees with this change then I think that new category can go to Category:Vegetation as well. Johnnyriot999 02:33, 4 September 2007 (UTC)


 * The creation of Category:Vegetation makes sense to me. Also, unless we end up with a large quantity of articles that would fall into Category:Herbs, I don't see a reason to create the additional category. Heaven&#39;s Agent 02:58, 4 September 2007 (UTC)


 * My reasoning for that is there would be difference categories (continuing in the method of how they are currently organized) for each type of vegetation: trees, herbs, grasses, fungi etc. While there are only a handful of entries I have for herbs right now, if you take a glace at Category:Trees you can see how extensive it gets.

 * You could do Category:Vegetation as the primary catagory and do redirects from all the others. I'm not sure we need to do lots of work on catagories. The wiki does have an ok search engine. Hurtzbad 07:46, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

Rename?
Could we maybe rename this page Category:Plant creatures? I know I found this confusing when I first came here, and I just undid a categorization by a newer editor who likewise was confused. ~ Lhynard (talk) 20:02, April 15, 2015 (UTC)


 * Hmmm, I kind of like "Plant creatures", but let's see what others think... before going C R A Z Y :) - Darkwynters (talk) 22:22, April 15, 2015 (UTC)


 * That's fine with me. Much less ambiguous. &mdash;Moviesign (talk) 03:13, April 16, 2015 (UTC)


 * Okay, so it appears "plant creatures" might be a winner... I will check tomorrow and see if BadCat responds... if not, it means he likes the idea and/or does not care... then we rename :) - Darkwynters (talk) 04:28, April 16, 2015 (UTC)


 * Mostly on the not caring side. :) I agree, "Plants" is ambiguous to a new or non-gaming reader. I think it's tripped me up before. Let's go with "Plant creatures" or something as a disambiguation. — BadCatMan (talk) 07:00, April 16, 2015 (UTC)


 * Excellent... sentient plants are plant creatures and a potted plant is vegetation! Easy peasy :)

Thoughts
Past tense? and grammer. Im just curious as to why the entries are written in the past tense with alot of unecessary words and odd phrasing. I understand the need for paraphrasing so as not to plagurize the source material, but some proof reading is needed. I would work on this myself, but my lack of computer language skills is overwhelming and the few times i have tried have been horrible, Fit2tieu (talk) 14:59, May 18, 2020 (UTC)


 * Your statement appears to be entirely irrelvant to the topic of this Talk page Mr. Fit.

 * Hello, Fit2tieu. We employ a past-tense policy here at this wiki. It may seem odd at first, but it is actually very logical when documenting the Realms. If the grammar is wrong, please feel free to correct it. Note, however, that there are several grammatical errors in your short post. You don't really need any computer language skills to get started with the wiki. Just start slow and follow some help pages. ~ Possessed Priest (talk) 16:34, May 18, 2020 (UTC)


 * If you could point us to specific pages that seem problematic for you grammatically, please do so, and I will be happy to fix them, but, as it is, we have over 30,000 articles, so vaguely saying that some entries have "unecessary [ sic ] words and odd phrasing" is not very helpful to us. ~ Lhynard (talk) 00:43, May 19, 2020 (UTC)
