For admins: Hi!

Here a proposal for the way we deal with the species and races categories. Currently, Inhumans and Mutants are used both as the categories for the "main group" (humans versions) and as a type for every other character, who are already covered on specific categories.

In the facts, the mutant, eternal, inhuman, etc. became a "type" (as it is something "artificial" the Celestials (or the Kree for the Inhumans) created (or perceived as such by humans, skrulls...): There are human mutants, skrull mutants, mutant centaurians, skrullian eternals, skrullian normals, deviant skrulls, inhumans badoon, even mutant robots, etc.)

Currently, the mutants category page is currently (by my fault and because of the form category pages takes when there is too much pages under it).

The idea has many goals:
 * Harmonizing the way we deal with species, race or type categories
 * Clearly identify the different species of each type.

"Characters by Species, Race, Type"
The idea is to end the transformation of those "type" categories into "portal" categories, with the characters listed under "species, race, type" categories:

Categories
The species will be named in order to be te more correct possible: If "Human Mutants" would be a correct term, "Human Eternals", "Human Deviants" and "Human Inhumans" are false. They are "humans" (not in the meaning Sapiens that can be accepted for mutants.

Given I found the last missing binomial names for main "human" species, I think that could be the way.

Consequently, the categories would be:
 * Category:Inhumans (Inhomo supremis), Category:Inhumans (Centaurians), etc.
 * Category:Mutants (Homo superior), Category:Mutants (Skrulls) (or Category: Mutants (K-class Deviant Skrulls), but I don't think that is necessary);
 * Category:Deviants (Homo descendus), Category:Skrulls...
 * Category:Eternals (Homo immortalis), Category:Eternals (Skrullians), Category:Eternals (Kree)...

Contrary to the humans, where we know the species are originated from many species, thus rendering the use of the term "human" ambiguous or even false, the Skrulls are originated from Skrullians, the Dire Wraiths are originated from the Skrulls (gotta learn how) and most of the other species have "always" been the same (Kree are Kree as far as we know them).

Links to the main character
If you think (as I do) that the "portal category" should still link easily to

The results would be something like this: The new proposal (well, it's a model, the text isn't complete, and those templates are "locations" and "disambiguation", which are not supposed to be present here. It could require new template, or messageboxes with the right codes).

Waiting for the species, race, type thing to be implemented (still believing), I would intend to do it by changing the origins redirection.

So I would like to know if any of you have a problem, a suggestion, a better idea about it, or if you are okay with me starting that project.

The problems I foresee: Without exceptions to the module origin and without the species/race/type fields were ready, it will be tricky. But it's in order to harmonize the categories, waiting for those new fields to be implemented.

About the new fields
For those who haven non idea what have been discussed about the new fields, it would follow that model:
 * | Species =
 * | Species2 =
 * | Race    =
 * | Race2   =
 * | Type    =
 * | Type2   =

With:
 * The "field 1" being similar to "citizenship", with autocategorization.
 * The "field 2":
 * being without categorization (you have to write the category and add it, like in that example.
 * appearing whether or not the field 1 is filled, in order to counter possible tricky situations (who will appear as we go further).
