About this thread on species, race, type and also about the citizenship.

What I proposed to Nathan but he hasn't answered yet: "Currently the species/races templates thing doesn't quite goes on.

''The want to list any tricky situation is indeed a prudent move, but among the admins, the subject doesn't move on.

''What could be done:
 * ''Validating some simple species (Spartoi and strictly normal humans for examples) in order to permit some movement in the work
 * ''Implementation of the species and races fields
 * ''Auto-categorize characters page who have neither race or species ? (Category:Species or Race needed
 * Wikia-spread message about it
 * ''Asking them to propose their models and tricky situations on a dedicated thread (in order to reaffirm also the community part)
 * ''Asking them to add the category "Category:Exception/Tricky Situation in Species/Race/Type" and report it in on this thread or a connected thread.
 * ''Asking them to not start some species who haven't been validated yet, with classic warnings, blocks if necessary (in order to highlight that in a community, you listen the others)

''In this way, we associate more editors, go on, and correct

Also, there is still the related problem of the citizenships: The plural/singular forms. If we solve this problem (writing something that appears as something else and links in a yet different named category), we will be able to easily and aesthetically deal with the species.''

Currently, the users add citizenships and species in a chaotic way, many characters aren't categorized, and singular and plural form are next one to each others.

Does someone understands or knows which of those pages are still useful for this to work ?
 * Template:Nationality Category
 * Template:Ctzen
 * Template:CtzenCat
 * Template:Race Category

If you have a clue, an opinion, an interrogation, anything, please create a discussion on my wall or in the admin corner, or answer on some of the thread already existing on that matter (and inform me of those interventions for the two later proposition). This is a subject who is stuck since the Lua implementation and even before, and it would be great to finish with it. Especially since once we modify the templates and impose clear rules to the users, the job will be done by some editors who are already doing it outside of the template and in a messy way. Thanks.
