1. Only use sub-category for articles
Most categories are grouped with sub-categories. A simple example is the games one which only contains sub-categories. For an article which is a 2D sidescroller we don't use the "games", "platform games" and "2D platform games" categories. Instead we limit it to the category farthest down in the tree which is "2D platform games". This system is nice as it keeps everything organized with the usage of as few categories as possible. The problem is that there are a lot of articles not using this system and containing categories from the same category tree. A great example is the Scrapped content category.
2. Remove unnecessary categories
Some categories seem to serve no purpose or are confusing since they are too similar to others. Here are the ones I could find:
- Platform games - Only contains two sub-categories (2D and 3D platform games) which could just as well be in the top category, "games".
- Designer games - This one doesn't really make much sense to me. It seems to include game-packs which include the game "Rayman Designer". Why is this a category?
- Downloadable games - I can see why this used to be there, but nowadays pretty much every Rayman title is downloadable somewhere (Steam, PSN, Xbox, mobile, Virtual Console etc.) which makes this seem rather pointless
- Gameloft games - Like with the Designer one this seems pointless. Why have a category for games developed/published by one specific company?
- Handheld games - Like the downloadable one applies to almost all games in the series.
- Multiplayer games - Doesn't make much sense since it includes games like Rayman 2 only due to its minigames.
- Nightmares of Polokus - This one is really confusing. From what I understand, all enemies in the Rayman universe are nightmares of Polokus (I mean, the story goes that everything in the world comes from his dreams), so wouldn't this simply include all enemies??
- Rayman Legends Challenges - Pointless.
- Rayman games - Pointless as well. Why is there a category for this? All Rayman games should be categorized in the "games" sub-categories depending on genre etc.´
- Villains - Doesn't make much sense. What's the difference between villain and enemy? It seems to only include each game's main antagonist, but that's not always so clear which makes it rather confusing.
- Internet games - The name seems odd to me. I first thought it meant online games. Shouldn't it be something like "Browser games" or "Flash games"?
- Lists - Is missing a lot of list articles + it seems pointless. Most list articles already have fitting categories. Although this one could be a category containing sub-categories which would make more sense.
- Non-Rayman games - Should be "Non-Rayman or Rabbid games" since the wiki covers all Rabbid games as well.
- Other - Contains articles which should have more specific categories
- Other software - Slightly confusing again. What exactly should this include? Should the Legends Beatbox be there?
- Remakes - Remakes is such a loose term, especially in the Rayman series. Why not call it "Remakes and ports" and include all ports as well?
- Trophies of {game} - Shouldn't it be "Trophies and Achievements from {game}"
- Soundtracks - We shouldn't have both this and the "music" one since they are too similar.
- Places/Images/Artwork etc from {game} - Some of these include other games which should have their own set of categories. A great example is all of the Rayman 1 categories which include all Designer content as well.
- Solutions of Rayman 3 - Shouldn't the name be "Solutions to Rayman 3" or "Solutions to the levels of Rayman 3"?
- Logos
- Maps
- Disambiguation
- Items from Rayman Fiesta Run
- Icons - The Box art category has too many icons, so they should be separated more.
