Template talk:Species

I'm beginning to think that perhaps this template should be taken down, even deleted. Thing is, the categorization is quite subjective and not that neat. Terrans, protoss and zerg are listed as "major" on the premise that they're playable, yet in an in-universe sense, I don't think terrans really count as major in the greater scheme of things. We've listed hybrids and energy creatures as "experimental", yet they seem to have gone beyond the experimental stage, yet don't fit neatly into any of the other categories. Finally, we've listed other races as "minor" on the premise that they're not playable. Not only are more "minor" species fated to be added to the template over time, but if Metzen's stance is anything to go by, none of them will ever reach the "major" category.

In essence, the template is an in-universe one relying on game mechanics and can't really group races that adequatly. In light of its misleading nature, I think it should be taken down or undergo a major overhaul. Call me cynical, but I'm more inclined towards the former.--Hawki 00:19, September 5, 2010 (UTC)
