Category talk:Candysmiths

Split up?
I've noticed that say Candysmith Sweetshanks is categoried in Category:Candysmiths and that cat includes both 2005 and 06 candysmiths but in the tree it's only listed in Category:Wintersday 2005 collectors. What's the best way to split up 2005 and 2006 candysmiths but still have a category for Candysmiths? --Xasxas256 07:27, 23 December 2006 (CST)
 * Maybe make a Wintersday collectors category with separate subsections for the different years?Nub 07:32, 23 December 2006 (CST)
 * Noesss. Only 1 is 2005 specific. One is 2006 specific. The rest are all shared. :S - BeXoR  [[Image:Bexor.png]] 07:35, 23 December 2006 (CST)
 * You can have:

|--Wintersday 2005 Candysmiths Candysmiths --| |--Wintersday 2006 Candysmiths
 * But the problem is that what category do you put Candysmiths into? It can't be in both Category:Wintersday 2005 Collectors and Category:Wintersday 2006 Collectors. The tree should have less and less items in it as you go along but you can't categorise something into two either! Because you come from say Wintersday 2006 to a mix of Wintersday 2005 and 2006 then back to just 2006. The Candysmith article has the same problem... --Xasxas256 07:40, 23 December 2006 (CST)
 * Okay, here's what I'm thinking, but my brain is addled from sleep deprivation. Rename this to 2005 Candysmiths and recreate the whole tree under Cat: WInetersday 2006. I'm not even going to bothr to correct hat. X( - BeXoR  [[Image:Bexor.png]] 07:40, 23 December 2006 (CST)
 * Special Events > Wintersday 2005 NPCs > Wintersday 2005 Collectors > 2005 Candysmiths
 * Special Events > Wintersday 2006 NPCs > Wintersday 2006 Collectors > 2006 Candysmiths

 * Lol, it's ok when you go up the tree
 * (Special Events > Wintersday 2005 NPCs > Wintersday 2005 Collectors > 2005 Candysmiths > Candysmiths) but going back down is is a problem because Candysmiths is categoried in both 2005 Candysmiths and 2006 Candysmiths. Why are there only sleep deprived Australians working on this!? Somebody who's not the waking dead put us out of our misery! --Xasxas256 07:48, 23 December 2006 (CST)
 * Well, I'm actually fine with Candysmiths being in both the Wintersday categories, but if that's not a good idea, then a split on Candysmith article is pretty much unavoidable. Since they are just inclusion pages, should be fine to just create a "Candysmith (Wintersday 2005)" and "Candysmith (Wintersday 2006)" and then categorise accordingly. The "Candysmith" page can then function as a disambiguation page or a compiled list. As for the category of "Candysmith", put it into "Category:Collectors (special event)"? Hmm... Or just get rid of that altogether and let it be a redirect to the latest event with candysmiths. -- Ab.Er.Rant (msg Aberrant80) 05:55, 24 December 2006 (CST)


 * I'll be honest, I was hoping for a bit more clarity than that :P Heh heh it's almost Christmas so I'll give you a break! Are you leaning towards one of those options? I was kinda hoping you'd seen some precedence during your travels along the category trees but if not I guess it'd be nice to have something elegant here to refer to in the future. --Xasxas256 06:22, 24 December 2006 (CST)
