Category talk:Kits

(2e) in category names?
In several instances we have categories for kits both with and without the addition of "(2e)", e. g. Category:Farisan and Category:Farisan (2e). Do we really need both? Actually, do we need the added "(2e)" at all, or should we have Category:Mamluks only instead of Category:Mamluks (2e)? As far as I know, kits only exist in 2nd Edition. (Category:Sorcerers (2e) is an exception, as sorcerer was the name of a kit in 2nd Edition, but Sorcerer is a class in 3rd and higher edition.) Daranios (talk) 19:06, May 23, 2015 (UTC)


 * Those categories are supposed to be automatically generated by the Class table template, and yes, they should have the edition in the name. If they don't, then something is wrong. Apparently, the problem with "Farisan" is that the kit/class is called "Faris" and the plural is not "Fariss", (see Khalil al-Assad al-Zahir where it generated Category:Fariss (2e)). This is easily fixed, I just didn't notice it had happened and nobody brought it to my attention until now.
 * We are treating 2nd edition kits as analogous to 3rd edition prestige classes and 4th edition paragon paths. There should be a non-edition specific article and category (e.g., Morninglord and Category:Morninglords) and an edition-specific class category (e.g., Category:Morninglords (3e), Category:Morninglords (4e)) for every class. Individuals are placed in these as they apply and also a level-based category, if known (e.g., Category:Morninglords of 3rd level (3e)). The edition-specific categories should always be generated by Class table (if possible). Does that help? &mdash;Moviesign (talk) 19:50, May 23, 2015 (UTC)
