About the "Please note" just below, is everyone thinking the same way?

No, it should still have Categories just as all the branching articles that WangBot made have Categories. Using this same logic, all the "Creating a _ Ability" articles are categorized even though they could just be redirected from the "Effect - Target" article.

I dislike how all those branching articles have Categories. :P It really clutters the Categories' pages. :/

Isn't that the point of using the StarCraft II Category to list all the articles? This Wiki should have hundreds of articles ultimately, so it is supposed to be cluttered.

I hope we do agree on the fact that the list of all articles shouldn't repeat the same article two times? So we agree either Leaderboards or SKTL (this current wiki) should have the categories, but not both.

Also, in the case that we must choose between the two wikis named above, "Leaderboards" would be the most searched for when looking for a Leaderboard-related wiki in that list. It thus looks to me like only "Leaderboards" should get the categories.

But in any case, you're the admin and you're in the right to do whatever you want. ^^ It's not that much of a big deal.

And in regards of all those sub-articles about Damage Effect, I believe they shouldn't be listed because if I was to go search about them in a wiki, I'd probably simply look for "Damage Effect"and try to track down exactly what I wanted from there (which people should easily be able to do due to how the Damage wiki is designed).

The same articles aren't repeated multiple times. Here let me start over because we're not really talking about the same thing. This article is one way of making a leaderboard. The Leaderboard article should be about leaderboards in general, not just one method for making a leaderboard (like this article). They can both exist at the same time, and the Leaderboard article can link to this as a "See Also." The specific tutorial pages need to branch out from something else (like Creating an Instant Effect Ability can be an example for Effect - Instant), so both the basic explanation of leaderboards and this specific example of a type of leaderboard can co-exist in the category. Technically, for example, a "jump" ability is also an "Effect - Target" but you wouldn't learn that from Creating a Missile Ability. So we need more basic pages that branch out to other more detailed examples/tutorials.

Also, if you searched for "Damage Effect" you would still find the article you wanted. Or if you looked at the complete list of articles, you could click on one Damage Effect sub-article and be directed back to the others anyway, so that shouldn't be an issue.

You've just convinced me. ;P -- Payne 05:06, 28 November 2010 (PST)
