About RPG Items
Volt Shroom. It's an item. It would fit very well in Category:Collectibles and Category:Power-Ups AND Category:RPG Items. See the problem?

So, here's my solution:

Make RPG Items into two categories.
 * RPG Items - Special (for things like the Crystal Stars)
 * RPG Items - General (for things like the Volt Shroom)

Thoughts?

 * Why not just add them all in those Categories? What's wrong with simply having a stuffed section?


 * Well, nothing is really wrong about it, I'm just anal about this kind of thing. It makes sense to me that an object would have a specific classification and a few other non-specific ones. Ya know, a Mushroom is a fungus, but it's also a parasite and a plant. -- Ghost Jam 12:39, 22 April 2006 (EDT)


 * Still, though, it's not a bad idea. But what exactly classifies an item as 'special' or 'general?' Plus, you know, someone'd have to go through each item and manually sort them. Would take awhile to do. --DarkInsanity (talk)


 * Well, I was going to set it up similar to how I did the first time. I originally had a category called Special for all of the important story items. I realized that these items are only seen in RPGs, so the category became RPG Items. As for deciding which goes where, story items would be Special (such as Blimp Ticket and Puni orb) and normal items would be General (such as Volt Shroom and Boo's Sheet). As far as the work goes, I can do that myself, I just wanted the community OK first.

 * If you're cool with doing most it, go for it! *gives two thumbs-up* Just don't get mad when other people don't follow your example right away, as even for normal items many people don't even put any categories. Makes me sick! --DarkInsanity (talk)


 * Yeah, bugs me a bit too. I guess that's why we're here. [INSERT SUPERMAN PIC HERE]

I'm going to protect the items page temporarily while I'm performing the surgery.
