| − | '''Project aim'''
| |
| − | * Taxonomy is a project on PCGamingWiki to categorise every game on the wiki.
| |
| | | | |
| − | '''Contact'''
| |
| − | * [[User:Andytizer|Andytizer]] is leading this project. To discuss further please visit our [[PCGamingWiki:Discord|Discord]] on the '''#projects''' channel.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Notes'''
| |
| − | * '''Category''' names should be as short as possible.
| |
| − | * '''Definitions''' should explained within two or three sentences. Provide 4-5 examples to be as clear as possible.
| |
| − | * A game should only include a category ''if'' the category forms a major part or section of a game, for example {{Glossary:Parachuting}} is a major gameplay mechanic of [[Just Cause]] but not of [[Call of Duty: Modern Warfare]] which only features parachuting in a small section of the game.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''New categories'''
| |
| − | * Categories exist to help group games meaningfully, however they should not be too granular so as to cause thousands of categories to require creating, e.g. we have {{Glossary:Shooter}} which meaningfully encompasses a large number of games, however an AK-47 category does not meaningfully distinguish from other {{Glossary:Shooter}} games.
| |
| − | * A new category should encompass at least 10 games before being proposed.
| |
| − | * Each individual {{T|Glossary}} page is freely editable, but please discuss with [[User:Andytizer|Andytizer]] or on the [[PCGamingWiki:Discord|Discord]] on the '''#projects''' channel on Discord before creating new categories.

| − | '''Notes'''
| |
| − | * Limit of 5 categories per row (except for monetization/microtransactions) - pick the items which most apply to the game.
| |
| − | * {{T|Glossary}} and new use of Glossary namespace to hold definitions which will be transcluded to every Taxonomy term.
| |
| − | ** For example, '''FPS''' adds the categories '''First-person''' and '''Shooter'''.
| |
| − | ** Place '''FPS''' into the standard {{T|Infobox game/row/taxonomy/genres}} row and remove the '''Shooter''' category (don't remove the '''perspectives''', only remove from '''genres''').
