Category talk:Related Articles Pages
Wouldn't it be easier to just created categories for each group, rather than a separate article for each that needs to be updated. Categories update automatically.

- I actually had an idea similar to this, but it was decided against. Thus, I think we should just keep this category. Heroe!(talk) 10:27, 6 April 2007 (EDT)
- Partly, the idea was to have the graphics, but mostly, it's just not the way we use categories. Categories categorize articles into groups; it's just a taxonomy grouping articles of the same type. The related articles tie together articles which are thematically but not taxonomically related. "Hiro's sword" and "Space-time manipulation" aren't related because they're the same kind of article, so they don't belong in a category. They're related because they are both connected to Hiro. These related articles pages are basically just giant series bars; they serve a very different function than categories.--Hardvice (talk) 12:42, 6 April 2007 (EDT)
- IAWTC. The category seems somewhat ... unfitting ... to me. The portals just seem more suited to handle this kind of grouping, not a new category. — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 14:53, 6 April 2007 (EDT)
