The Harvest Moon Wiki talk:HM64

Proposed Categorization
(Imported from my front page where this discussion lived shortly. Sathka 02:06, April 15, 2010 (UTC)) The categorization is a little nebulous and redundant on some of the HM64 pages. I'd like to reduce the number of categories each page is in by making them more specific, and by nesting categories within each other. I propose we use the following hierarchy of categories; each article will go into one of these categories, and the categories themselves will go into the category above it. Pages that mimic a category page such as Animals (HM64) will not go in their category namesake, but rather the same category as their category namesake. Thus, Animals (HM64) will be directly in the category Harvest Moon 64, so people looking at that category will see the Animals page listed there, rather than within a subcategory.
 * I second this (though it took me a few readings to understand fully). There are so few categories to begin with it seems prudent to collect them as a sum. A minor quibble; what your "Key Items" seems to represent is, in fact, "Rucksack Items", unless I misunderstand their purpose. I hope to expand on your "Game Concepts" soon, an area most excenllently categorized (I held off, due to not understanding how best to array them). -PerseusStoned 22:24, April 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * You're right regarding the "Rucksack Items"; the only problem I have is that this term isn't very clear. It wouldn't weigh heavily on my mind whichever way we went, but I prefer the more recognizable "key items". In the same vein, I don't really feel the need to include the "Belongings" category (just promote everything underneath) because the name is somewhat unclear, but as before, I could go either way.

 * My gripe with "Key Items" is that quite a few of those items are anything but "key", indeed most of them are next to useless. I like the idea of the "Belongings" category, due to the large amount of things encompassed by it (and their completely different nature then other items in the game). You have a great knack for quick and accurate classification and I think we should go with your gut on this. Maybe we could rename it "Exhaustable Items" (which bothers me, since the chicken fodder and seeds are exhaustable tools, but I have no better ideas)? -PerseusStoned 23:22, April 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thinking back on it, let's go with Rucksack Items. It won't hurt to have Rucksack Items within Items proper.  I'm okay with Belongings too. Sathka 03:19, April 13, 2010 (UTC)

I know there are broader categories such as Characters and Locations, which seem like they might be left out of the listing above. I would categorize the specific categories themselves in those broader labels, rather than the pages. That way, on Characters, Harvest Moon 64 NPCs will be listed there as well. Thoughts are welcome here or my Talk page.
