Hello, it has been brought to my attention that this wikis category tree is in a state of disarray and could use a little organization. At the moment the tree consists of a lot of micros (categories that hold pages) and little to no macros (categories that hold more specific micro categories). I have also notice the lack of a Meta (Supermacro (base of the tree)). Now this may not seem all that big of a deal as the current tree works just fine. And that's true, it does serve it's purpose even though it's messy.
Why would we take the effort to change it up now? After all, it isn't broken.
The main reason that wikis have category trees is to help with a number of things. It helps improve the accuracy of the wikis search bar as pages can mlre easily be found and grouped. It helps SEO (search engine optimization) because search spiders can mkre easily find all of the content on your wiki. Strolling off of the search path it aids in overall site maintenance as categories can be more easily sought out.
So what exactly does a category tree look like? It sort of looks like the following XML representation.
<supermacro title="Meta">
<macro title="Weapons">
<micro title="Laser">
<article title="Laser Rifle" />
<article title="Laser Pistol" />
</micro>
<micro title="Plasma">
<article title="Plasma Rifle" />
<article title="Plasma Pistol" />
</micro>
</macro>
<macro title="Factions">
<macro title="Brotherhood of Steel">
<micro title="Locations">
<article title="The Citadel" />
<article title="Abandoned BoS Bunker" />
</micro>
<micro title="Quests">
<article title="BoS Quest 1" />
<article title="BoS Quest 2" />
</micro>
</macro>
</macro>
</supermacro>
