The Lore category is meant to distinguish the content that is specifically related to the setting of the games from content related to gameplay/walkthroughs/real-world information etc.

While the word "lore" could refer to all information related to the Deus Ex series, this category is meant to be specifically about the in-universe lore (I described this as "lore of the Deus Ex universe", but this could be elaborated on if it's not clear enough). I've come across this word being used to describe similar categories/compilations of information on other wiki's so I didn't think that it would cause confusion amongst users. I think a quote from UESP (Unofficial Elder Scrolls Pages) about lore might be useful in explaining the function of this category:

"The overall intent is to provide an encyclopedia of accurate and verifiable information in The Elder Scrolls universe, separate from game-related details, whereas the game-related namespaces are primarily game guides that focus on those game-related details."

There are some pages in subcategories that don't really fit this definition (e.g. articles in the "Augmentations" category) but I felt that that was too important an aspect of the series to leave out. That can always be fixed later by adding specific pages to the category rather than the full category if necessary.

If you still don't see the value of having this category, I suppose a discussion could be started on its talk page.
