Talk:Things List by Category

Why is this in "Player Starts" Category?

Like the title says, why?

New formatting

I'd love if someone were to make a textual list like Special Level Effects for this page, instead of this page just being a list to a bunch of templates. Digiku 09:08, 11 November 2006 (PST)

How would that work? ~DarkWarrior

Why was this deleted?

Personally, I loved it. I liked it far more than I liked the actual list of Thing Types. I don't really see the need to have deleted it. At least to me, it seemed a little more neat than the text-list. ~DarkWarrior

And the reason I listed this was so I could get organized back when I wrote the Things pages. Remember that this was before Thing Types was created. This page was intended to exist only for test reasons. Also note that it's not listed anywhere in the Table of Contents or on the Main Page. It's a page in a weird position, and since the --Types pages are the default, this served as nothing more than clutter. --Digiku 06:51, 8 May 2007 (PDT)

Maybe true, but I found it far more simple to use than the Types pages. The same reason I made ones for Sector and Linedef pages. I liked the smaller style better, personally. I find it far easier to read through a horizontally oriented list than a vertically oriented list list. More often than not, I've gone to that page for reference. ~DarkWarrior

Just being the list of verbatim templates, though, I found that page really unprofessional to begin with.

Maybe we can come up with a compromise. Besides, I've been thinking of proposing that we change the Things/Linedef Specials/Sector Specials pages' names. I should probably bring that up... now, actually. --Digiku 07:44, 9 May 2007 (PDT)
