Category talk:Item Prefixes

Jump to navigationJump to search

So, I created this category to include all the item prefixes, like "Strong" in [[Strong Trident]], which is always Power and Vitality. I hope you find this category useful. If so, tell me. I'll try to gather up all the prefixes, create pages for them and list them here. =) Gnarf 09:03, 21 April 2012 (UTC)

Or maybe we delete this category and list them all on a new page called Item Prefixes? Don't know if an article for every one of them is needed. How do you think about that? Gnarf 09:21, 21 April 2012 (UTC)
It might be better to condense this prefix information into a single article. I'd propose Item nomenclature, but maybe it needs a proper discussion first. :) - Infinite - talk 10:25, 21 April 2012 (UTC)
I'll wait 3 days or so. If there's no consensus till then, I'll do what you suggested and condense all the prefixes into a single article named Item nomenclature, tagging the individual prefixes as candidates for deletion (including the category). Gnarf 12:04, 21 April 2012 (UTC)
In the event that we do condense, the new article should be categorised in [[Category:Glossary|*]], and similar future nomenclature articles (per example "Skill nomenclature") should follow that format. But I do hope others interject with their insights to find the perfect fashion of documentation for these patterns. - Infinite - talk 12:20, 21 April 2012 (UTC)
Sounds like a good idea! --Ee 05:43, 22 April 2012 (UTC)
So the plan is that I create a category named "Nomenclature", which contains the article "Item Nomenclature"? And "Nomenclature" is a subcategory of "Glossary"? Did I understand that right? Gnarf 16:06, 23 April 2012 (UTC)
The category Nomenclature is fully optional, so if you feel it is best to have it you should create it. In fact, yes, we should add the category. :) - Infinite - talk 16:19, 23 April 2012 (UTC)
EDIT:Which contains the article Item nomenclature (note the capitalization). - Infinite - talk 16:20, 23 April 2012 (UTC)
What else would be under Category:Nomenclature? If it's just "Item nomenclature", it doesn't need its own category and can just go under Cat:Glossary. --JonTheMon 16:24, 23 April 2012 (UTC)
In the event we're adding skill/trait/NPC nomenclature in the future, really. It's optional for now. - Infinite - talk 16:26, 23 April 2012 (UTC)
Optional FOR NOW. It depends on your plans. If your plans for the future are to add additional nomenclature (Skill, Trait, NPC, ...), I'll create the Category:Nomenclature right now. If it's not written in stone, I'll leave it at creating the Item nomenclature article. Gnarf 16:57, 23 April 2012 (UTC)
Looking at traits it will be a risky move to have a detailed, accurate nomenclature. Skills should be easier. If I had to take a gamble I'd say we'll have them eventually, but they'd be ridden with personal interpretations (much like GWW's skill nomenclature). - Infinite - talk 17:11, 23 April 2012 (UTC)
