User blog:Kellicopter/Suggestions for Categorization

Hello all. I just finished cleaning up some of the categories. I think they are starting to get out of hand (among other things), and it’s just messy in general. The following are my suggestions.

Some of the things I changed were:


 * Misspelled categories – I got rid of a lot of these. The categories that exist will drop down if you just type in the first few letters. Please use existing categories, because if you spell it wrong, you will make an unnecessary new category.


 * Pets – Some pets are so specific that there was only one article on that page. I don’t see the point of that, since the pet is clearly shown on the Lalaloopsy’s page, so I changed the categories to match the Pet page classification (Domestic, Insect, Bird, Edible, Woodland, Jungle, etc.). For example, “Pet: Dog” should be “Pet: Domestic” and “Pet: Squirrel” should be “Pet: Woodland.” Please stop adding both.


 * Eye color – Most of the Lalaloopsies have black eyes…why do we need a category for black eyes? I eliminated it. IMO, the Skin Color category is not necessary either. We can see what color their skin is when we see their picture, but I didn’t get rid of that category since it’s more useful than “Eye color: Black.”


 * Interests – One main interest per doll is enough. If people want more info on a doll’s interests, they can read the page! There’s no need for Marina to have “Interest: Sea” and “Interest: Nautical.” I erased the Nautical category because Sea is more broad and will let Marina be categorized with the mermaids as well as Mango and Patch and other land-based sea-lovers.


 * ”Has a sibling” – This category may be useful for regular Lalaloopsies with siblings, but it’s redundant to put it on a Little. They are Lalaloopsy Littles. Of course they have a sibling! I took it off all of the Littles.

I'd just like to help keep this wiki full of useful information presented in an organized way. If you disagree with my suggestions or have better ones, please respond and I'll go ahead and fix whatever I changed.
