Categories are supposed to categorise. But the in the wiki, I think the categories are getting off-hand and confusing etc. So I need your opinions, on the category tree.
It always starts with Browse. I'm going to list out the suggested category tree, then give any suggestions or something.

The sorting of the Denjuu stuff like Denjuu by type, Denjuu by etc, whatever are going to contain both T1 and T2 Denjuu, since there isn't really a need to split it.
And the names for FANGroups and FANGangs are so lame xDDD
Theyre supposed to be a "pun" on fang (you know, Wikifang), and fan group (for the 1st). FANGroups are supposed to be a place where fans gather and blah. While FANGangs are where a group of editors who are dedicated on working on a specific range of articles (usually in the same category), used to be called Projectfang. Like a WikiProject (on wikipedia).
If you have any suggestions for better names/category system you can say.

Re: Categories
I kind of liked "Projectfang" a bit more. XD That list looks pretty good, but there's a few things I think could be changed...
I don't really think that items are going to need their own pages, since a stylish template on a list would probably be able to include all of the info for them. If each item is put under a heading, it should be possible to link specifically to its section on the page, right? That way, we can just make a single item page for each game and it stays nice and organized. *nod*
We should also have a subcatagory for gameplay aspects for each game, since there's probably going to be a lot of articles that don't fit anywhere else (like the D-Shot). Apart from that, there's just small stuff like there not being any item pictures in Bugsite and no evolution in Dino device (we think). It shouldn't matter for a while anyway, until we actually have some content for those games. XD Oh, and you wrote Denjuu/Dinos/Bugs by type twice, there. *nod* And bugs in Telefang 1 and 2. XD

Uhh. Projectfang sounded weird. But FANGang sounds worse... :/ I'll get other people's opinions first.
About the items, if you want to do it that way, then I think we can split up the page into categories, and link to those pages from the page Items or Items in Telefang etc whatever. For example, since Telefang 1 items are limited in type, then we can split it into like just Mod evolution items/Test evolution items, etc. Haiz I can't split it properly T.T and only those significant items would have its own page. Then for T2 there's more things, so we can split it into the four categories you see when you choose items from the menu, or more stuff. Ok?
And for the Bugsite item pictures, I missed it out oops. In DD I haven't played far enough yet, but I think there is no evolution, but in DD2 their sprite will change depending on the devices put on them, so there will be too many sprites. (I havent played DD1 far enough, took me ages to figure out how to even get past the building part >_>)
And oops again.
