User:TheUltamate/Admin Noticeboard/Category Crusade

Alright, now that the rules are in effect, it's time to begin the Category Crusade.

Basically, we're going to just recategorize the hell out of everything that exists on Trollslum Wiki so that it follows the new rules. Sure, retroactive laws are illegal in most nations, but not in the glorious People's Republic of Trollslum Wiki.

Ruling with an iron fist with no regard for the habeas corpus I mentioned before aside, this needs to be done, especially the blood categories. They're...a mess. I've drawn up this battle plan:


 * Categories that need combing through:
 * Red (for any candy red members)
 * Orange (for yellows and beiges)
 * Green (for limes and teals)
 * Indigo (for violets)
 * Violet (for indigos)
 * Pink (for violets)
 * Categories that need their contents moved after being combed:
 * Brown (to Brown/Beige)
 * Beige (to Brown/Beige)
 * Green (to Green/Jade)
 * Blue (to Teal/Blue)
 * Purple (to either Indigo or Violet)
 * Black, White, and Gray (to Black/White/Gray)


 * I'm pretty sure Category:Gray Blood is empty, though
 * Anonymous (move to wherever they actually belong)

I have a category for categories (yo dawg) called Category:Blood Categories. The contents of that are the categories we'll be using.

The combing jobs should be done before the moving jobs. When a specific job is finished (Say you've combed Red for any candy reds), come back here and use   tags to strike through that line.

Reply here and claim a category to comb/move so that nobody interferes with anybody else's work. Helping isn't required by any means, but every little bit helps.

During the recategorization of trolls, it's probably a good idea to add author tags, just so you don't have to go back and add them. That'd be a pain.

Alright, I'm going to start by combing Red. Wiki staff, transform and roll out!

Damn, almost forgot: when you make a category for a user, please add it to Category:User Categories.

 * This is DD, kick it in. That's a big ten-four, good neighbour! I'll tackle the Brown Blood category. It looks like a bogie to the sanctity of this Wiki after the mess its anklebiter/bubblegummer users have made of it! ∞ Dunne Days ∞ Talk  ∞ Blog  16:54, 20th September, 2012 (UTC)


 * Red: motherfucking combed. Moving on to Orange.

 * I finished the Brown Blood category (and marked it for deletion), as it was so short. I got started on the Black Bloods, but came across a predicament.


 * According to the Revision History of the zenithRemix page, it was created by an unregistered user. So I have four possible courses of action now, and it's your call on which one I go for:


 * 1. Categorise the page as the IP address of that user, as well as create a category page for it. Basically, this course of action would treat the unregistered user as equally as it would a registered one.


 * 2. Categorise the page as something akin to "Unregistered User", or "Anonymous". This would enable us to group together the pages created by people like this, since I think most of them have only created one fantroll each.


 * 3. Categorise the page as the first registered user that edited the page (in this case, ZDG). If no registered users have touched the page, then we'd go on to option 4.


 * 4. Do not categorise the unregistered users' pages by name at all. Sure, stick the blood colour and other appropriate tags on it, but that's it. No user category.


 * Thoughts? ∞ Dunne Days ∞ Talk  ∞ Blog  17:50, September 20, 2012 (UTC)


 * Hm. That's certainly interesting. Well, let's go with an unregistered user category for now, I think. If anything comes up that should make us do otherwise, we certainly can.

 * WHABAM, orange combed. It was pretty empty. Taking a break for a while.

 * Might as well start combing Green now.

Of Teals and Limes
Right, so. I've nearly finished with moving everything from Green into Green/Jade, Lime, or Teal/Blue. At this point, I just have a few trolls that I'm not sure where they go.

Might be Lime: aloofObserver, disparatePotency, joystickSmackdown, malignantProdigy, practicalGargoyle, unlearnedFamiliar, unopposedCataclysm

Might be Teal: fabulousUllage, misguidedVisionary, passiveNotation, timedCompulsion

Kind of weird one of my own trolls showed up in there...oh well. I just want to confirm some of these guys before I throw them into Lime or Teal/Blue, or just keep them as Green/Jade.

 * Sorry for abandoning the site last night. I got caught up in homework, food and all the complexities of modern day life. Anyway, I'm looking at these pages that you've listed, and I'd probably place them as follows.


 * Lime: aloofObserver, disparatePotency, joystickSmackdown (no question there, considering her obvious lime theme), unopposedCataclysm


 * Teal: misguidedVisionary (seems closer to teal than jade to me)


 * Jade: passiveNotation


 * Other: malignantProdigy (Since radioactive green is not yellow enough to be classed as lime, but too bright to be normal green?), practicalGargoyle (could just be green, but it seems too pale), fabulousUllage (it's probably too bright to be teal, since it's closer to cyan)


 * Ones I'm Unsure About: unlearnedFamiliar (lime/green?), timedCompulsion (jade/teal?)


 * Yeah, this seems helpful. ∞ Dunne Days ∞ Talk  ∞ Blog  16:11, September 21, 2012 (UTC)


 * So, the unsure/other ones: I've dumped practicalGargoyle into Green/Jade with passiveNotation; malignantProdigy and unlearnedFamiliar into Lime; and fabulousUllage and timedCompulsion into Teal/Blue with misguidedVisionary. This seems like a happy arrangement.
