User blog:MasterBroccoli/Civilization Categories

I noticed that the categorization in general needs improvement. But just yesterday I browsed around a little and found there are some specific things that make no sense, either.

For example the civilization categories. Take the Turks for example, they get a category, and the Ottomans get a separate one, although technically being the same (or at least very similar) civilization. Now take the Germans or Russians. They are thrown into the same category as the Teutons and Slavs, respectively, even though that category pages explicitly say to only contain pages from the AoE III civilization (for the Germans, I changed the Russian page). That makes no sense. I personally would prefer to have different pages if the civilizations don't have the same name (also separate British and Britons (and Franks/French) to prevent misunderstandings).

I remember there was a disagreement about the AoE II Berserk being in the Norse category, which kind of is the same thing, but in the end, the Berserk was left without a civilization category. Not the best solution to my mind.

If civilizations have the exact same name, they should have the same category (like the Chinese, Japanese, Aztecs, ect.), but if not, they should be separated, that is my opinion.

What do you think?
