Category talk:Roving Threats

Where should this category go?

I've added this category under Category:Creatures, as I would say that these were a special type of creature, not bound by location. Feel free to change this, though I've made this discussion page to talk about it.

I'm still not entirely happy with this category. I think it belongs somewhere else in the tree, but I just don't know where xD --Freepy (talk) 09:24, 1 July 2015 (UTC)

I agree that this one is particularly hard to place somewhere. It doesn't seem to fit anywhere in out current category tree. I don't think it's doing well underneath Category:Creatures, as there actually are no creature pages in it!! (There probably should be, though. I'll see if I have the time to add this to the creature template and make a Roving Threat Creatures category. That one should be underneath Category:Creatures or Category:Creatures by Location. It's a bit of a stretch but I recommend the latter, to keep the top creatures category tidy. Instance Mobs and Skirmish Mobs are in there, too.)

I looked into where Skirmishes are sorted (Category:Gameplay); that seems a bit excessive for Roving Threats, it's not some new combat system, and then where Instances are sorted (Category:Political Geography); which is a vague category on its own, but it's geographically based rather than creature based. Which returns us to Category:Creatures. Sigh.

The thing Roving Threats have most in common with design wise are shard droppers, but they don't seem to be categorized at all; they are merely sorted by the item they drop.

Any other thoughts or ideas on this matter? --Ravanel (talk) 09:33, 23 June 2016 (UTC)
