Forum:New Category Proposition

I've noticed that there are a lot of Unique weapons and Armors distributed throughout all of the Fallout games, most noticeably the massive amount of unique weapons in New Vegas and Fallout 3. I'd like to propose a separate category for unique weapons, and a seperate category for Unique armors, so that we can better distinguish them from their regular counterparts. Theoretically a project could be put in place to help us transition these articles into their respective categories.---bleep196- 19:53, 21 November 2011 (UTC)


 * My thinking is that we add another category to the article of each unique weapon/armour. Question is if we're to divide unique weapons and armours into their own separate unique category, i.e. "Unique Fallout: New Vegas light armour" or somesuch, or simply have all unique things in a single category, which I think could be confusing in itself. I'd happily support this project, mind you. Hugs Scarface11235
 * If we theoretically did this i think we'd have to make a category for each game for each unique weapons/armors. We could probably put Fallout and Fallout 2 in the same category though. ---bleep196- 20:21, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

Why not one category for unique weapons/armour, and then a sub category for each game? That would group it together nicely, I think. Yes-Man 00:26, 22 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Yes, if we are going to do it, there should be separate subcategories for each game, including Fallout 1 and 2. Ausir 02:31, 22 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Ok that sounds good, if you want i'll go ahead and create a project page and start working on it. ---bleep196- 15:23, 23 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Great, sounds like a plan. Get it up, and I'll gladly help you. Hugs [[file:MadeMan2.png|20px|link=User:Scarface11235]] "Say 'ello to my little friend!"

Since both weapons and armor are tagged in the infobox as unique (unique parameter), there are two possible options for this. I could run a bot through the pages and add the category (based on the game and unique parameters of the infobox). Or, something that has just come to me, get the infobox to automatically add the category based on the infobox parameters. Just have to check if that is possible.

 * Looks like the bot options is going to be the easiest way forward. User avatar tag.gif Avatar talk.png 20:33, 24 November 2011 (UTC)

(I know the line was unnecessary, but I like that line) I already categorised all FNV unique weapons and Kas categorised all FO3 ones. Just letting you know. Hugs  "Say 'ello to my little friend!"
 * Well I just noticed that the normal infobox for weapons (used by everything but FO3/FNV) doesn't have a unique parameter, so it isn't going to be much good outside of these games to run a bot. Guess I will do armor for you guys on both these games. The rest is going to have to be done by hand. User avatar tag.gif Avatar talk.png 21:04, 24 November 2011 (UTC)
