Organizations

I propose the creation of a supercategory "Organizations" -- this would basically be any group, including governments, corporations, militaries, teams, etc.

Form

• Supercategory: Category:Organizations -- this category contains all organizations articles in a list
  • Subcategories can be added at will from the following:
    • Category:Governments
    • Category:Corporations
    • Category:Agencies -- covering both militaries, and governmental sub-agencies
      • Category:Military units -- proposed at Memory Alpha:Category suggestions
    • additional categories for other groups as they become identified -- i'm not sure if we have enough articles relevant for a Category:Music groups or Category:Sports teams,
    • Category:Religions might be a possibility

The question about this suggestion is -- should all these articles still be contained in the master category, or should we leave the supercategory containing only articles about "miscellaneous groups" that don't fall into any of the subcategories -- or would it even be preferable to create additional subcategory Category:Miscellaneous groups.

Additionally, subcategories of major groups can and will be created upon suggestion and vote here -- once Category:Agencies has been approved, Category:Starfleet, Category:Tal Shiar, etcetera can be contained in it.

I don't recommend putting any articles in Category:Starfleet or any other organization at this level, however, because an additional tree structure must be discussed -- to prevent double listing articles that fall under both UFP and Starfleet.

There are a lot of organizations that may be deserving of a category heading -- this level will form a major portion of our tree structure if it is approved. Once approved, it will be easy to create multiple categories by writing one sample category makeup -- Captain Mike K. Bartel^talk 21:49, 26 Mar 2005 (EST)

(I'm not sure where this came from, but it didn't belong with the paragraph previously attached with it, so I am putting it here.) --Alan del Beccio 06:50, 29 Sep 2005 (UTC)

• Subcategories based on military or service organizations, agencies, (Category:Organizations; Category:Agencies; etc), will use the form "NAME personnel". Former members who move on to other exploits may be double categorized. Members of sub-agencies or units that are able to be listed like that should also be categorized like that. -- for example, Spock is both in Starfleet personnel, and USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) personnel.
• Subcategories based on species should take the form of their list article (people) -- the species name in plural (Category:Vulcans, Humans, etc). Hybrids should be double categorized.
• Subcategories based on Category:Governments or Category:Regions could take the form NAME citizens or NAME residents, i'm open for suggestions on this one if anyone has a better idea for final terminology.
