Index Index Discussion

Ununnilium: Do the ones that have "Category" at the beginning really need to? It makes it stick out oddly.

Gus No, not really. They are holdovers from the bad old days when single-word links weren't possible. However, I just tried the Name Changer to convert Plots and it had no effect, so I think some tech-ing must be done. Going through every Trope by hand to make the change would be kinda tedious.

Seth: How many of these would you say are either obsolete or unused because there is a more popular category?

Sci Vo: Dunno about the rest, but I pulled the red one:

Games

Sci Vo: I finally realized that an index doesn't have to be on this page to work. It doesn't even have to be on this page to be added to an entry, if you know the markup (which all of the other indexes use too, so...yeah). That means that an index only needs to be on this page to make it easy for people to add it to new entries. Theoretically, we could safely pull any indexes off of here that we feel confident won't be getting any new pages any time soon, though I would definitely copy them over to this discussion page in that case.

Sci Vo: Pulled Crossdresser as it doesn't appear to actually be an index (at this time).

Sci Vo: Save The Villain is not an index. Pulled it.

Silent Hunter: PK Mario, I added the cache version of this. It has more indexes on and doesn't need reverting.

Pk Mario: Ohm, I see, but it was working bad >-< Take out the [[Main\Bla Bla bla]] to fix it

Silent Hunter: Seems to be somewhat fixed. Needs Wiki Wording though to be fully functional.

Trimeta: This page does not list itself. Am I the only one who sees that as an error? It's not like we're talking about Russel's Paradox

here.

Susan Davis: So, what's the procedure to get a page to be an index? (Specifically, The Golden Age Of Videogames.)

Luthen: Should we move all the "Notable X Webcomics" to be subindexes under Webcomics? Similar to how useful notes is done.

Dragon Quest Z: Moving the index descriptions here for the moment. Not that I'm against trying to describe those, just that it's wreaking havok with the drop down box. I'll start forum thread on the "Wiki Talk" about what to do.
