Categories debate
The "Biographies" category will soon get out of control if we divide so much. How do we categorize poets, priests, poet-priests, artists, craftsmen, peasants, thieves (Ishikawa Goemon)? Bethetsu
I think the catch-all of "Cultural Figures" should get the rest - in fact, maybe I'll eliminate the "aristocrats" category in favor of that. --Kitsuno 18:25, 13 September 2006 (PDT)
"Cultural Figures" might work for someone like Saigyô or sword-makers, but what about Mongaku, Nichiren, Sukezaemon of Luzon (a merchant of Hideyoshi's time), or Goemon? No matter how many categories we make there will be people outside them. At least we need an "other." Unless, of course we just make up categories as needed. Bethetsu Sept 14
- I want "Edo Period" and "Bakumatsu" And where should Shinsengumi be?shikisoku Sept 14
- It is simple to create a category - just write your article, and put this at the bottom: [[Category:Category Name]]. Just replace "Category Name" with the name of the category you create.
- As for an "other" category, let's just call it "Other Historical Figures" then - it's the same as "other" except that it sounds better. Goemon could fit in a historical figure category - he's a known historical figure, and is hard to place otherwise. --Kitsuno 10:09, 14 September 2006 (PDT)
- I think we have complete "biography" subcategories - but shall I remove the "aristocrats" category, and we'll just put them under "other historical figures" category?
