Forum:Proposed new navigation scheme

After experiencing troubles with navigation on other Wikis and experimenting on two others, I believe I finally have a solid proposition. Here's how I propose the new category scheme should look like:


 * Games
 * Deus Ex
 * Deus Ex characters
 * Deus Ex mentioned-only characters
 * Deus Ex weapons
 * Deus Ex rifle skill weapons (etc.)
 * Deus Ex ammunition
 * Deus Ex consumables (cigs, medikits, drinks etc.)
 * Deus Ex miscellanous items
 * Deus Ex vehicles
 * Deus Ex locations
 * Deus Ex missions (or assignment or whatever the game uses to track)
 * Deus Ex cut content
 * Deus Ex cut characters etc....


 * Deus Ex setting
 * Organizations
 * Companies (Page, NYComm)
 * Factions (MJ-12, NSF etc.)
 * Various miscellanous overview articles go here
 * Timeline

Thoughts? Deus Ex 1 is just an example. http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/fallout/images/0/08/Personal_Sig_Image.gif Tagaziel (call!) 20:36, January 31, 2011 (UTC)


 * Wooo my friend, not bad ;)! By cons, "Factions" is a word doesn't sound like cyber-punk and not quite civilized, I think "Organizations" sounds better. Also, I thought but it seems logical, to create a specific page for each ammunition and a specific template for Deus Ex and Deus Ex: Human Revolution ammunitions, Deus Ex: Invisible War had only one type of ammo. For the missions, "Goals" sounds better for Deus Ex (is the term used in the Datavault).


 * For items, it would be best to create a main category and add sub-categories like that:


 * Deus Ex items
 * Deus Ex consumables
 * Deus Ex equippable items
 * Deus Ex miscellanous items
 * Deus Ex tools
 * Deus Ex weapon mods


 * That better correspond to the gameplay of Deus Ex games. Otherwise I found your organization perfect, thank you Mikael for your contributions on the wiki =), you're A BOMB! Itachou [~talk~] 23:21, January 31, 2011 (UTC)

Hey It. I chose Factions deliberately because it's a recognized, formal word and it carries with it the proper context for Majestic 12, UNATCO or X-51. The word faction is usually associated with rivalry and that's exactly what we need.

As for the term "goal", I'm against. It isn't as intuitive as mission/sidemission. Intuitiveness and ease of navigation are a priority, remember.

So, here's my proposed final draft.


 * Games
 * Deus Ex
 * Deus Ex characters
 * Deus Ex generic characters
 * Deus Ex named characters
 * Deus Ex mentioned-only characters
 * Deus Ex inventory
 * Deus Ex weapons
 * Deus Ex rifle skill weapons (etc.)
 * Deus Ex ammunition
 * Deus Ex weapon mods
 * Deus Ex consumables
 * Deus Ex miscellanous items (this would cover lockpicks, multitools etc.)
 * Deus Ex vehicles
 * Deus Ex locations
 * Deus Ex mentioned-only locations
 * Deus Ex missions
 * Deus Ex storyline missions
 * Deus Ex side missions
 * Deus Ex cut content
 * Deus Ex cut characters etc....
 * Deus Ex world objects
 * Deus Ex datacubes
 * Deus Ex books, magazines and newspapers
 * Deus Ex miscellanous


 * Deus Ex setting
 * Organizations
 * Companies (Page, NYComm)
 * Factions (MJ-12, NSF etc.)
 * Other groups
 * Various miscellanous overview articles go here
 * Timeline

The reason I omitted "equippable items" is that in Deus Ex every item can be equipped. http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/fallout/images/0/08/Personal_Sig_Image.gif Tagaziel (call!) 21:29, February 1, 2011 (UTC)


 * Nice work, I'd say. --TheBearPaw 18:18, February 2, 2011 (UTC)

Sorry for my late presence, I was pretty busy and I improve the Dragon Age Wiki about the time I had left. I'm not for " missions ", many goal are not mission in a sense, like for example kill Anna Navarre in UNATCO HQ if you have not already killed. " Objective " sounds good and fits well with official missions and goal given by another person, what do you think my friend?

As I say, don't very like the term " Factions " which is never uttered in-game and doesn't sound like well in a cyber-punk universe. " Groups " is the only term that could go well but at worst " Factions " could do it even if it gives me a pain in the ass.

For " Deus Ex miscellanous items " including armors and all other items, why not finally. For " Deus Ex books, magazines and newspapers ", a little big for a category not? The best would be to call it " Deus Ex papers " or split the group into 2, " Deus Ex books " and " Deus Ex papers " ? We're nearing the end ;). Itachou [~talk~] 11:51, February 14, 2011 (UTC)
