Category talk:Docents

Sub-category?[edit]

I made this category a sub-category of Armor, as this is the only 'armor' that a warforged can wear. While this may be accurate, does it make sense to be related to armor from a category arrangement point of view, or should docents be a separate entity? I'm not sure how a warforged player will be looking for these (if they'll automatically think Armor), nor whether this will be confusing to players of the other races to see docents mixed in with the other armor items.

I believe it would be simpler for people looking for information to make it separate from Armor. Tihocan 11:41, March 8, 2006 (EST)
I don't follow how making it a sub-category of Armor makes it less simple. If people initially think of Docents and type Docents in the search box, they'll get to the Docents category. If they think of it as Armor and search for Armor, they'll end up on the Armor category page, and there will be a Docent sub-category link staring at them. What scenario were you thinking of, cause I must be missing it? Dedridd 12:27, March 8, 2006 (EST)
I don't really know how the information is presented right now. What I meant is that I believe Docents should be on the same level as Armor (not "hidden" under it), as people may not think about clicking on Armor if they are looking for Docents. And people who click on armor will most likely not be interested by docents. Tihocan 13:28, March 8, 2006 (EST)
I don't know that it was really 'hidden' in any way, although it is listed in the armor section on the Equipment page. This category is no longer a sub-category of the armor category, however. Dedridd 13:44, March 8, 2006 (EST)
I don't know either if it was hidden. My assumption was that, as a sub-category of Armor, one would have to click somewhere on Armor in order to get to Docents, while it would be simpler to have Docents listed on the same level as Armor. Again, I don't know if even such a list exists. Tihocan 14:36, March 8, 2006 (EST)
