Setting Categories
Hi,

I don't know if you ever read this, since you never registered here on the wiki.

Thanks for your contributions. The reformatting for the duo, alert, raid etc. pages is really good.

However please be careful with categories. It can help to click on a category to see its contents before setting it on a page.

Some categories contain a variety of terms, while others are very specific. E.g. the category Gameplay contains a lot of other general terms like duos, alert, etc. However the category Alerts really should merely contain (i.e. list) alerts. If you set the category 'Alerts' on a DLC's page, because that DLC has introduced new alerts, the name of that DLC (page) will get listed on the 'Alerts' category, which makes no sense really and makes it harder to spot the real alerts on that category page.

I can understand the thinking behind it, but categories - unless broad by definition like e.g. Gameplay - should be as strict as possible to be useful to the reader.

If you think there should be a link e.g. for DLCs which introduced new alerts, feel free to create a new category, e.g. DLC Alerts or something like it.

Try to make it strict. We have enough mostly unused broad categories nobody seems to be using anymore when editing.
