Category talk:AoK units

From GenieWiki

This article

We already have sort of an AoK units list article that lists units by class, and then has subclasses which is effectively the units pages. We need to have a discussion with a few people to get an idea how we should work out the arrangements of units here at the wiki, otherwise making articles on units, and articles in general, is going to be tricky.

Here are the things I think we need to talk about:

• Do we have a seperate article for each unit?
• How do we arrange units for the game?
• How do we categorize units?

Separate article for each unit? No.

Check AOK:ARCHER and AOK:List of units. I've added links for the archers in the List of Units, and I think that's good enough... then we add info into the category's page (in this case, archer). Cesar

Here's how I feel:

• Do we have a seperate article for each unit?

If we don't have a separate article for each unit it basically becomes impossible to link to each unit as everyone's been doing. Wouldn't it just be easier to have separate articles for each unit so people can find them and link to them easily? Why do we need to group them into a bigger section?

• How do we arrange units for the game?

Though a class system is good for some purposes, I think the majority of people are going to want something they understand easily and can navigate intuitively

• How do we categorize units?

As it is we just categorize the article the unit is in. The structure of units articles makes them almost like categories themselves... it's a little confusing. As Tarkan has done here it's actually the wrong way around - an article tells a category it is part of it, not the other way around. However, if we have categories that basically just repeat the units list articles it will just be unecessary duplication. Richard 00:43, 10 June 2006 (CDT)

I don't see why we need this page (Category:AoK units), since we already have all units grouped in classes. Just like AOK:ARCHER, each class should have a page of its own (and not each unit), in which we would add a short description for each unit. We should also have a special page regarding cheat units and beta units (not to mention the beta Knights that exist in the *.drs list but aren't available in the game...). In order to make navigation easier, we should add a short description for each class in AOK:List_of_units, for not everyone is familiar with those names, therefore adding a description would make navigation less confusing.
