:I disagree. Something I am very keen to keep is that every mission is in Category:Missions, likewise every vehicle is in Category:Vehicles.

I believe having all 3 systems (category, subcategories, article lists) gives people the best opportunity to find what they want.

Do all those missions need to be categorized here? They should already be sub-categorized here through the individual game mission categories and that would be a much easier way to find them then go through every mission. Thoughts? Of course, look at the amount of pages in this category, I think we would use the bot. Biggest GTA Fan EverTalk 07:34, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

I disagree. Something I am very keen to keep is that every mission is in Category:Missions, likewise every vehicle is in Category:Vehicles. That way, you can see EVERY vehicle in one category, and it is very intuitive and very basic. This is better than having a random manually-updated page with every vehicle on it - that is the point of a category. If you want to list vehicles by game, or by type, then that is a better use for an article, although subcategories also fulfil that function. However, the primary aim of categories is to categorise things together, not to split things up. I believe having all 3 systems (category, subcategories, article lists) gives people the best opportunity to find what they want. It also helps us manage everything, so we know what we have and what is missing. Gboyers talk 00:42, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
