Category talk:Inhabitants by timeframe

Does anyone see a use for these inhabitants by era/century categories? They are barely used, and "Era of Upheaval" doesn't even cover the 14th century, yet it includes 10th and so on. I can maybe see a need to know who was around when, but it's pretty minor and rare, and difficult to fully implement. Long-lived characters will exist in multiple eras and centuries; imagine Larloch with dozens of century categories. Some historical characters don't have a known birth, death, or age, further muddled by age-slowing magic or immortality, so giving them categories like this is guesswork.

I propose deletion for the whole category tree. I can have my bot remove the categories from the articles. — BadCatMan (talk) 02:02, November 9, 2014 (UTC)


 * I agree... we do not need them. - Darkwynters (talk) 06:38, November 9, 2014 (UTC)


 * Geez, the Recent Changes list is growing almost too quickly to keep up. This category tree can be deleted as far as I'm concerned. It would be quite a headache to maintain and not very useful. If you think people need a research tool along these lines, I can probably make a page that is the compilation of all the "Year in People" sections from the Years pages. Just a thought. &mdash;Moviesign (talk) 14:13, November 11, 2014 (UTC)


 * Regarding the recent changes list, I'm sorry, as evidenced before I can get a bit carried away... I'll do the Black Dragons and then I'll leave it be for now. Terrorblades 's Far Realm logs dated  14:24, November 11, 2014 (UTC)


 * Not at all! Keep doing whatever you want to do. A busy Recent Changes list is a good problem to have :) Besides, if you look at the past few weeks, I don't think you are the most prolific contributor, hehe. &mdash;Moviesign (talk) 14:40, November 11, 2014 (UTC)
