Just a little thing~

Mainly question regarding Wings - when you look up Category:Robes for Elves (or Giants, or Humans), should the Wings also be listed there? Or should they just stay only in the Category:Wings? Asking before I go adding/subtracting Categories from item pages. Er, if anyone cares. Adding all the wing items to the Category:Robes for Elves/Giants/Humans will make it a bit bulkier, but wings do go in the Robe slot - but then it would be harder to just see plain robes only o_o

...there are more important things I should be doing than wondering about this. But whatever. Opinions? *headdeskheaddeskheaddesk*

I think most things are doubly categorized. Pages like Robes List are what distinguish regular robes from wings.

Whether that's a good thing or not, I dunno. Would be happy to see people discuss it.

Wings are also unique from robes by how they behave when equipped. For example if you equip a robe on your normal gear tab, and a glove or a hat on your style tab, the robe will not be visible. However, wings on your gear tab will always* be visible regardless of what's on your style tab (even robes). As far as I know, we all wish other items (wigs) did this but none do.

  • Disclaimer: I only tried this with two pairs of wings

If we did something similar to weapons' categories, we'd be stuck with supercategory "Robes" containing categories "Wings" and..."Robes"? Or we could do something similar to bodywear categories and create the category "Robes/Wings" just like we have "Clothing/Armor" which seems like a harmless best option.

I, personally, wouldn't want to go about making new Categories. I can only go a couple levels deep Inception-style before my brain malfunctions.

Looking at the Headgear category, it appears that all appropriate Subcategory items (Helmets vs Light Headgear) are listed under the Category:Headgear for Elves/Giants/Humans. So, in other words, I guess I'll add the Category:Robes for Elves/Giants/Humans to each Wing item page.

Trying to get everything listed in all the places they need to beeee @_@ (Still, not gonna add the Throne Chairs because - really, Mabi?)
