Category talk:Places

A few days ago I loaded up Brood War and scoured the maps for locations. After 1-2 hours of writing, a sore hand and 4.5 pages of handwritten notes, I've realised that the locations simply in "places" aren't set to remain an oddity. As such, more categories may have to be created (eg. bases, cities).

The problem is that if such categories are created, then there's the issue with the merged locations with planets. In some cases, such as Aiur and Tarsonis, seperation would probably be good; makes it easier to reference locations of the Gutter for instantce. On the other, there are planets which are mainly known for a certain landform, which could make seperation 'stubish'. For the sake of clarity however, I think it has to be all or nothing.

Anyway, regarding such categories, I think categories can be created for cities, (military) bases, installations (a general term for things ranging from the Jacobs Installation to Vespene Refineries), landforms (forests, rivers, etc.) and regions (continets, provinces, etc.). Regardless, I thought it best to voice the idea before ploughing ahead with article re-organization like I did with the planets, which in hindsight, probably wasn't the smartest thing to do in regards to the lack of notice.
