Organization

We need to figure out how to organize things.

Our root categories so far are Characters, Planets, Organizations, and Episodes. There are subcategories under Characters for Aliens, Robots, and Humans.

I'm not sure I understand the value of adding the Species category... If anything, we need something to differentiate an alien from an alien species. Perhaps make Species a sibling of Characters, and it includes articles on entire races (Neptunians, Slurm Worms, Etc) instead of those being sub-categories of "Aliens" as they are now, then "Aliens" would contain only the specific characters? Readers could still get a list of aliens of a given species by going to the species' page.

How about this hierarchy?<br\> Characters 

 Aliens
   Slurms MacKinzie
   Elzar
   etc.
 Robots
   Bender
   Robot Devil
   etc.
 Humans
   Fry
   Leela
   etc.

Alien Species 

  Neptunians
  Omicronians
  etc.

Places 

 Companies       
   Planet Express
   Robot Arms
   etc  
 Bureaucracies   
   DOOP 
   The Central Bureauracy
 Planets
   Earth
   The Neutral Planet
   etc.

Technology 

 Farnsworth's Inventions (There's enough of these for their own category)
   Smell-O-Scope
   etc.
 Ships
   PE Ship
   Nimbus
   etc.
 Gadgets
   Wristlojackimator
   Suicide Booths
 Products
   Slurm
   Bachelor Chow

Misc 

 Brannigan's Law
 Sexlexia
 Alien Languages
 etc...

Media 

 Episodes
 Comics
 Possib. Fan scripts even?

Merchandise 

 DVD collections
 Action Figures
 Games

How's this sound? I can't think of anything that couldn't be placed logically in that hierarchy, but tell me what you think. Anything missing, or that wouldn't fit? If we don't decide on our categories now, it'll be a real pain in the butt to change them all later so we should make this decision soon.

Buddy13 FW16.png I like what you did mostly. I only disagree with "Places" as it adds unnecessary depth. I think we should stick with "Organizations" since that can cover everything, like Doop, the political parties (Tastycrats and Fingerlicans), and Planet Express, Mom Corp, etc. And planets in their own category.
Additionally, I think "Farnsworth's Inventions" shoud be "Farnsworth's Creations" since I'm not sure you can count atomic supermen and yelling albino gorillas as "inventions"
What do you think?
