LOTR, CSI categories

[aethel]

Some questions have been raised about how to structure the categories for some particularly complex fandoms, and the wiki committee has come up with solutions in the cases of CSI and LOTR.

Each CSI show now has its own subcategory under the main CSI cat.

"Tolkien" and "Lord of the Rings" are sometimes used interchangeably to refer to the same fandom, but "Tolkien" was chosen as the main category so that The Hobbit and The Silmarillion could be added as subcategories. Any fan activity (zines, etc.) that took place before the Silmarillion was published (1977) can be assumed to belong under LOTR unless otherwise specified. Any article about middle-earth-related, post-1977 fannish activity that either doesn't specify Hobbit, LOTR, or Silmarillion OR applies to all of them can be added to the Tolkien category. I created a chart to illustrate the new category structure:



More subcategories can be added if needed (pairings, characters?).

Please let us know if you have questions about (or solutions for) what category to use for any other straggler fandoms.
