Linking to a category without including the category
Rather than using the noinclude tages, if you just stick a : in front of Category, it will link to the Category without classifying the page. For example, Category:Nintendo (typed Category:Nintendo ) puts a link to the Nintendo category without classifying this page as part of the category.  Pro cyon  15:26, 6 February 2020 (UTC)
 * User:Procyon I know. (you might have noticed I'm somewhat familiar with wiki) I'm not sure which one of my edits you're referring to right now. Lite Grooves (talk) 16:34, 6 February 2020 (UTC)
 * User:Procyon User:Prod, I guess it's about Special:diff/847589. (Template:Self/Documentation) I wanted to categorize the main template, and on Wikipedia this is usually done this way as it allow the actual template to be categorized without categorizing the documentation while also making it possible to protect the template (if needed) while still allowing changes to be made to the category by anyone.

 * Ah, got it. Yeah, that was the edit I was referring to, I was wondering why you took that approach, and if it was simply to avoid having the page categorized as such.   Pro  cyon  18:34, 6 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Our categorization system is much simpler, so we don't need to change categories much. Generally, I'm not a big fan of /Documentation pages, since the technical reason for having them is no longer relevant. The point on protection is good though, allowing users to update documentation. -- Prod (talk) 16:18, 7 February 2020 (UTC)

Third level subpages
We generally try to avoid 3-level subpages like Gothic/Admission to the Old Camp/Whistler's Sword unless there's a high risk of overlapping names. -- Prod (talk) 23:33, 11 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Prod my reasoning here was that these quests, while clearly subquests, don't have their own journal entry. But some (like Gothic/Vanished Guard) do despite also being a subquest of Gothic/Admission to the Old Camp, so putting everything on one page may not be right either? I don't really care which way we'd go, but having half of the subquests on their own page while the rest is combined on Gothic/Admission to the Old Camp doesn't appear consistent. I suppose it's best to move 3-level subpages simply to 2-level in this case? Lite Grooves (talk) 00:06, 12 February 2020 (UTC)
 * I haven't played the game, so I'm missing some context, but all these quests seem to happen in close succession. Having a user go through a series of very small pages seems excessive. Split off the biggest parts to their own pages, but a bunch of small quests that are encountered together should be fine on the same page, regardless of how the game tracks them. This seems like the other extreme of having all the content of the guide on one page. -- Prod (talk) 00:34, 12 February 2020 (UTC)
