Well, isn't it a bit "bull in a china shop"-ish to not give a few days warning before doing massive reorganisations? (especially since this is a relatively new wikia, slowly getting its act together; see for ex. Thread:10975 )

I've had Special:RecentChanges constantly open for the past 3 weeks to do "janitorial duties"; now I'll have find time to sift through a wall of 200+ edits... :-|


 * About not more than 1 category: I don't know if you've ever played the game, but a rather relevant concept is fusing 2 armors, each of which can have 1 or 2 elements (water, earth, air, fire, spirit and the special kaleidoscopic), resulting in a semi-random new armor having 1 element from each source armor or in rare situations 1 element from 1 source armor and zero from the other.  So for easy clicktrough to all possible fusion results I was planning to tag each armor with categories for its elements (1 category for mono-element armors, 3 for dual elements armors) .  If you don't want more than one category per page, what way would you suggest to do something like that without the extra categories?  AKA: how to get a list of for ex. all water+air armors without categories and without making it a nightmare to maintain?  (and IMNSHO, the wiki's usability as a website should always trump its usability for some app I've never heard of.)


 * AFAIK the game itself capitalizes "Rare", so I think renaming all cases of "Super rare" etc. back to its previous "Super Rare" everywhere would probably be best.


 * moving the *Armors pages around/editing them: those multi-armor pages I think are mostly seen as "it's broken, so stay away from them until we have something better (1 standardized/Templated page per armor)" by non-anon editors, so please don't give them more attention than need be. (they should probably end up with just the generic info on their armor tier and either links to the individual armors or that linking being handled by the categories)


 * bosses "main" category: don't know what to think about that, since normal bosses are linked to the locations and epic bosses are seperate from it. I guess you picked it because the different types of bosses are currently both listed on the Bosses page and we haven't (yet) seperated that?

Still have a bit of the feeling like we're slowly turning a set of random houses into a small city and then riding in comes the cavalry to lay down the law... ;-| I really, really think it's better for an external person not too familiar with a particular wiki to suggest/propose changes than to just do a wall of changes out of the blue and then let the people faliliar with that particular wiki pick up the pieces.
