Overview[edit]

* '''Category''' - On other wikis, category pages are sometimes nothing more than background function of the site. On this site, we sometimes use category pages for site navigation ([[:Category:DDO game mechanics]], [[:Category:Quests]], [[:Category:Items]] etc). That's because DDO is an extremely complex game with a vast array of mechanics, items, quests, etc. Downside of this is that we can't directly "move" such pages, we have to copy/paste actual text and lose revision history of the page when needed.

Category Structure[edit]

Category Naming[edit]

* Example: [[:Category:Items by minimum level]] - only the first letter of the category name is capitalized in this case.
* Partial uppercase example: [[:Category:An Offering of Blood loot]] - Certain words have an uppercase letter as it's the proper name of a quest, followed by loot, as it's loot found in said quest.
* Category names should be as short and to the point as possible. Trim any and all unnecessary prefixes such as "named" or "unique" or "special". We use a complex category tree here, so long category names can cause the tree to get way too long and unorganized.
