::::::One of the things we can do with Haama's page is to use template insertions (or whatever its called, <nowiki>{{:SubPage}}</nowiki> is the syntax I think?) to include the contents of subpages into the sections on the main page instead of having the functions listed directly on the main page. That way, we can display all the members of the function's category on the function page itself by also including the same template page in a navigation box. Things would be added/removed from the categories by editing the subpages being used as templates. It could be located at the bottom of the page like wikipedia often does with its navigation system or in a box on the top right of the page or something fancy like that. | ::::::One of the things we can do with Haama's page is to use template insertions (or whatever its called, <nowiki>{{:SubPage}}</nowiki> is the syntax I think?) to include the contents of subpages into the sections on the main page instead of having the functions listed directly on the main page.

:::::::I think that there should both be a manually-created page as SnakeChomp says, '''and''' categories for automatic sorting. Categories are useful for all kinds of reasons, ''especially'' if Bethesda OK's my WikiBot (need to bug them about that some more). Categories really ought to be primarily behind-the-scenes, rather than pages we expect people to look through. They should be for '''our''' benefit, not the users'. | |||

:::::::An excellent point about the display limit of categories. I like the idea of subpages, as that allow us to list individual "categories". It's true what DW says about the Wikibots though, those things work with Wiki categories, so we can't dismiss them. Discarding them from regular use is possible if we have a good alternative, like the function page you describe. | |||
:::::::Whether or not we're going to use Wiki categories or just headers on a page, the question still stands: do we need more of them? I think it wouldn't hurt. | |||

::::::::Yes - more categories now, and a move over to a manually-created page soon, with sub-pages and/or headers for different categories. | |||
