Category talk:All Logos symbol

Any reason Category:All Logos symbol should not be merged into Category:Logos symbol? By merge I mean get rid of the "All" category and use the "Logos symbol" category for all Logos-related stuff. In fact, I have the same question for all "All" categories. I like categories but I am sort of a minimalist when it comes to using them. --Clatra 18:26, 4 July 2007 (EDT)


 * Let me explain: Very often a category has multiple sub-categories by different sort-criteria. In case of Logos that is especially "Logos by location", but you could also think of "Logos by ability". Now, in case that a Logos symbol is in a subcategory, should it be also in the main category? If yes, you get a problem if there are more than 200 elements in a category because that means that some or even all subcategories will often be moved to page 2, 3 or even further down the category, depending on their letter, which makes them easily overlooked. This is a flaw of MediaWiki, IMO. One workaround for this is to remove an element from the main category if it is in a subcategory, which means that usually there will be less than 200 elements in the main category. But in this case the elements are scattered over various subcategories. In the past, on GuildWiki, I've had complaints, that this makes them hard to find, and people asked for a category with all the elements in it for easier browsing. That's why I added the "all" subcategory.
 * Anyway ... currently pretty much all these subcategories are handeled automatically by templates, so we can easily modify the system if the majority if people here on Tarapedia think that it needs an overhaul. --Tetris L 02:52, 5 July 2007 (EDT)
