I'm curious as to why it is the Satyr entry is in a subcategory of Fey as opposed to being listed alongside Dryads and suchlike. Shouldn't it be moved to the Fey category and any Satyrs category be adjusted to prevent "double entries"? Gabeth 04:02, 5 October 2007 (UTC)


 * The satyrs category is there because there is a specific entry within the category (Baerelus). When we have specific dryad, centaurs, etc. character articles then sub-categories can be created and in the way it is with satyrs. Johnnyriot999 09:21, 5 October 2007 (UTC)


 * I understand why the Satyr has a category for members of the satyr race, but not why it's a subcategory of Fey. Additionally, wouldn't it be correct to have the Satyr entry outside of its own subcategory? I'm sure a librarian would agree that when you have a category tree, you wouldn't do what is done here. The main entry for a subcategory shouldn't be in a subcategory but in the level directly above it. Gabeth 17:44, 5 October 2007 (UTC)


 * I disagree with that last statement as that's how it's done throughout the wiki, including non-race articles and categories. This is in order to prevent double entries as I've said before. Also, the satyr category is a subcategory of the fey because they would otherwise have no category to fit into and that creates a break in the so-called "category tree". The point of which is to be able to access any article of the wiki by starting from the root category.


 * The other concern is have two types of articles in the same category. For example with the Ogre category. In the future, ogre characters would be placed directly in this category. Ogre-magi characters on the other hand have their own subcategory. If I were to use your system (please correct me if I have this wrong), both ogre characters and the articles of half-ogre and ogre mage would be place in the same category of Category:Ogres. This to me is sloppy, a bit careless and isnt in the same spirit with our categorization of inhabitants in general. Johnnyriot999 18:35, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
