Category talk:Game updates

Purpose of this category
This category seems to have been abandoned, and for good reason. I can't think of any purpose it serves. Would anyone object to my nuking it? 19:36, 14 March 2006 (CST)

 * 1) Every article in the wiki should be categorized, especially if it's easily categorizable. It seems fairly straight forward that each of the updates is part of the game updates category, which in turn is a sub-category of software.
 * 2) I do not think the category was "abandoned." I think that one person forgot to put it in an update and people have been blindly copying and pasting.
 * 3) A chronological listing of all game updates is a useful and pretty straightforward way of browsng that data. Say you read some where that the May 15th update of 2005 introduced this or that and you want to find the may 15th update? Fastest way? Category:Game updates and scan chronologically.


 * I disagree that "Every article in the wiki should be categorized", but I do believe if a group of articles naturally belong together, that grouping should receive category status. I agree with everything else Karlos said above.  And I love the Year-Month-Date format.  Can't understand why Eurpoeans and Americans do things in weird ways.  d-: -PanSola 20:36, 14 March 2006 (CST)


 * I agree with everything Karlos said, including that every article in the wiki should be categorized. -- 21:36, 14 March 2006 (CST)


 * Every article? Are you proposing we add a Category:Main Pages now? 21:38, 14 March 2006 (CST)


 * No, but maybe a slightly more general category, that more "uncategorized pages" would fit into, like Category:Overview pages. -- 23:10, 14 March 2006 (CST)
