+ | '''Support'''I think this is a good idea, I remember once I wanted to see which Minifigs (Star Wars)'were introduced in one specific year cause some info on here was wrong and I wanted to confirm, but there was no such list, I had to look at individual figures separate, or had to go to sets and determine that way. Arranging by year will be good! It'll also help people determine how rare certain figures or sets are compared to other sets and figures so for people like me who buy and sell, can help me with pricing etc :) |

Or do you mean you're afraid the Star Wars sets would be combined with other sets.. Cause in that case I agree with you there.. I think the "2012 themes" should also be arrange by the LEGO themes. Have all Star Wars then all Harry Potter, etc and not have one giant list with Star Wars, Harry Potter, AND Ninjago intermixed. I feel doing one list per year with every type of set intermixed would just be harder to navigate for people who are interested in only one theme, like me :) |

However, as Star Wars has ''continued'' into 2012, he was worried that such a change of categories could lead to some accidentally adding Star Wars, for example, to the category meant for themes introduced in 2012 because of the ambiguous name of "2012 themes".

||
+ | Okay, I didn't realize this until I'd done every year up until 2000 :P - 2000 sets is currently used for the number range 2000 - 2999. Now, personally, I think it makes more sense for the year to be 2000 sets and for all ranges to be moved. Here is why - 2000 sets (or 1000 sets, etc..) does not imply that it contains everything in the range. I'd suggest maybe Category:1000 - 1999 or Category:1000 set range. (or, we just leave it as it is know, with the range at 2000 sets and the year at 2000 (year) sets). ~ [[User talk:CJC95|CJC]] 18:13, December 27, 2012 (UTC) |
||
+ | *'''Support'''. Makes sense. However, I think the name should be slightly different, or else we might have another problem similar to the one you suggested above ("2012 themes" vs. "Themes introduced in 2012"); the item number category could be confused with a year category. As such, I think each category should have the word "year" or "set number" in it to distinguish them. {{User:BrickfilmNut/sig}} |

Latest revision as of 04:13, 28 June 2019
Now, obviously this diagram is not complete, still a WIP, and makes no sense to most of you, so I'll bullet point my thoughts:
So I propose the following:
We currently put minifigures and stuff into "<theme> minifigures" and "Minifigures introduced in <year>" - Why not do the same for sets? It makes the categories tidier, separates sets from other general articles such as sub-themes or what not, and also allows more in depth. - E.g., 2011 books, Star Wars merchandise. This would also help separate actual sets from other crap.
Mainly, turn "Parts introduced in <year>" to "<year> parts". It makes it easier to use/add and goes along with my proposal to change sets to "<year> sets" and "<theme> sets".
To Ninjago! Well, Category:Ninjago. Go look at it. It is a mix of sets, lists, articles, merchandise, clothes and books. Surely, it would be better to seperate this up to aide navigation. Creating categories Ninjago sets, Ninjago books, Ninjago merchandise and Ninjago clothing (well, those last two could be merged) would allow the main category to just be the main lists (and some online games). Also, separate categories for books by theme would unclutter the book category. Basicly, this would be a lot of work and would probably take up to the next Christmas to be done. But, it would really sort this place out, because since 2007, our category policy hasn't really existed. Any good database needs a good organization on categories.
~ CJC 17:25, December 23, 2012 (UTC) I actually understood everything you said- you must be doing something wrong. :P Anyhow, support; I've been thinking along similar lines for a while now. -Cligra Join the redlink war!

Sort of off-topic...
Automaticly adding them via infoboxesWhatever we decide, as many of the categories should be declared by the infobox as possible. Rather than giving the page Category:2012 sets (or whatever), just feed 2012 as the year into the infobox, and the infobox can add the categories. This saves a lot of bot work if we ever change them, and should make it easier, simpler in new pages. - nxt
