Addendum to the fandom category policy:

[meri_oddities]

I'm posting this here before adding this to the policy.

There are some smaller decisions the wiki committee has made:

1. Sorting the Fandom Categories - We will sort by the default letter sort. Except where the category is a non-fandom category: Books & Literature, Movies, Real People, etc…



2. We will create a zine (or fanworks, or communities) sub-category if there are more then 15 pages in the fandom category.



3. RPF categories. We are going to go with Real People as the main category and then Actor RPF, Music RPF, Historical FPR, and then by fandom (person) categories.



4. If there is a list of zines that is a subpage of the main category, it will become a top-level page under the category and if there are more than 15 zines on that page, a subcategory will be created.

Some examples:

• Harry Potter/List of Challenges becomes List of Harry Potter Challenges and is put into the Harry Potter Category.
  
  Since it has more than 15 challenges listed on the page, the separate challenge pages will only appear in the Harry Potter Challenges Category and not in the main category.



• For Star Trek, a main category will be created and then subsequent subcategories with Star Trek TOS, Star Trek TNG, Star Trek AOS, etc.


For each of the Star Trek subcategories, there will be subcategories such as zines, challenges, communities, etc.


• The same rules apply, if there are more than 15 pages for any subcategory then they should not be listed on the main subcategory (Star Trek TOS). They should be listed on the secondary subcategory (Star Trek TOS fanzines).

If there are more questions about how to do things, ask them in comments, and I'll either answer or take them back to the committee.

I love the fandom categories! I LOVE the so much!!! \o/

PS: I'm really sorry for spamming the Recent Changes page for the last 1000 edits or so. Once I started adding the fandom cats to images as well, I just couldn't stop. ^^° My new favorite category is the Supernatural Doujinshi Cat (http://fanlore.org/wiki/Category:Supernatural_Doujinshi). ^__^

Wow. You did an incredible amount of work there! Thanks so much. It looks great to me. I can't wait to go through it all slowly.

It really is addicting, isn't it? I know when I started on Harry Potter, I worked for hours without even realizing how much time had passed.

If you want to check out the other pages I finished or worked on this weekend, here they are:

Category:Due_South_Zines
Category:Due_South_Websites
Category:Forever_Knight_Zines
Category:Harry_Potter_Websites
Category:Highlander_Zines (well, the category doesn't exist yet, but I've tagged the pages anyway)
Category:Horatio_Hornblower
Category:Houston_Knights
Category:Magnificent_Seven_Zines
Category:Man_from_U.N.C.L.E._Zines
Category:Multimedia_Zines (WIP)
Category:Star_Trek_DS9_Zines
Category:Star_Trek_TNG_Zines
Category:Star_Trek_VOY_Zines
Category:Supernatural
Category:Supernatural_Doujinshi
Category:Supernatural_Zines

All of the them include media (mostly zine covers) and every time I look at them I want to squee. :D Be glad there are no Sentinel or Stargate SG-1 cats yet or I would have done them too. The only reason why I stopped with Star Trek TOS after adding all the non-fiction zines was we need subcategories for Star Trek TOS Zines (see talk page). *sigh* I'm almost glad that I have a cold and feel sick because otherwise I would have managed to do something more productive with my weekend. *g*
