Category talk:Misc

Comments
Hmmm... a POV page. Good, this should give people a place to vent. It's important to have something like this in a place like this, especially seeing as how some will probably be annoyed by something or another. Then again, I'm half asleep. If you don't know what relavence that has to what I just said, try being half asleep. Then you'll understand.

Irrelevant Articles in this Category
I strongly believe that having articles in this section that have absolutely no relation to the Legend of Zelda series is negative. It is misleading in that it artificially inflates the article count of the wiki. It may encourage people to vandalize other wiki pages, eg. to link to an unrelated Misc article. I don't see it having any positive value. What do others think? If there is reasonable support for keeping these articles in the wiki, I'll accept that. - Jin (26 Sep 2006)


 * While you may not believe it to be a positive value, I find that the lighthearted and humorous connotation of the Misc section makes it fun, and is a welcome change to what will eventually be a Wiki entirely devoted to quality articles. I've always found it good to have at least ONE area where users can fool around and do as they wish with little interference. If you're that scared about vandalism on the Wiki, don't be. Users who want to contribute and help the content of the Wiki ALWAYS outweigh the vandals. --Jase 14:43, 26 September 2006 (CDT)

Renaming The Misc. Category
Rather than doing away with it, I think it would be best to simply to rename the category. My reccommendation is renaming "Misc." to "Miscellaneous", emptying the category and moving the articles to a new category whos name will better reflect the content.

I hate to call it the "spam category", but it really needs a name that fits the articles. The current Misc. category mixes right in with all of the other information and if you do not read the category description the articles will all appear to be misplaced spam and/or vandalism of important articles. I'm having a hard time coming up with a replacement name because "SPAM" would simply look bad rather than look "fun". So, this is open to any ideas you all may have. --Sheik-Yumil1988 15:46, 26 September 2006 (CDT)


 * Sounds like a good suggestion to me. I guess one of the things I dislike is that, in my opinion, grouping the irrelevant articles with actual Zelda articles seems to devalue the real articles.  --Jin 16:57, 26 September 2006 (CDT)
