Category talk:Weapons by family

There's Stygian Weapons and Stygian Weapon... --84.24.206.123 02:59, 5 September 2007 (CDT)

Naming these subcategories "items" seems wrong to me - it is easier to remember that "weapons" includes defensive weaponry than to remember that "items" in this case does NOT mean salvage items, bundles, quest items and the like. --◄mendel► 06:07, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

Items vs weapons
I'm a bit late to the party, but I also think that these categories should be named 'weapons' and not 'items'. ArenaNet themselves refer to shields and foci as "weapons".

If we want to call these categories ' items' then logically they should contain all related items as well, such as trophies, salvage items, etc. but the whole point of these categories is to categorise weapons by family. Ipso facto, they should be named ' weapons'. Thoughts? &rarr;  Dark Morelia  12:00, 22 October 2011 (UTC)


 * I think that's the general consensus from the last discussion (can't remember where that was right now), just no one's ever taken the time to correct them. Actually, I can do it fairly easily with AWB.  I'll go do that right now.  &mdash;Dr Ishmael Diablo_the_chicken.gif 14:37, 22 October 2011 (UTC)


 * I skipped the green items that are in the "Dragon items" category because I don't think we should categorize greens into these "family" categories with non-greens. But I figure we should have some discussion on that before I remove the category from them.  &mdash;Dr Ishmael Diablo_the_chicken.gif 15:05, 22 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Alright, all pages are recategorized. I'll leave it to you to create the new category pages, then I'll deleted the old ones.  &mdash;Dr Ishmael Diablo_the_chicken.gif 15:17, 22 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Ah great, didn't expect that quite so soon! I'll fix everything up with the new cats.
 * I definitely agree that the greens shouldn't be lumped with the dragon items. I don't really think greens need be included in these categories at all, except when they make up their own family. The whole dragon family is a bit of a mess, and I'm not sure what the best approach would be. I'm somewhat inclined to split it up into smaller cats, such as Dragon Swords, Dragon Staff/Rod, and Draconic weapons, since those are the only 3 groups that have much commonality. But then that would leave some stragglers that don't really seem to fit in anywhere. Hmmm. &rarr; [[Image:Dark.Morelia.sig.jpg|link=User_talk:Dark Morelia]] Dark Morelia  23:03, 22 October 2011 (UTC)
