Hello Cheese Immortal,

I am Hackey5. Lately I have not been as active as other administrators, but come on whenever possible to work an agenda consisting of various Battle Bears Royale pages. As of now, this consists of the seven class pages and their respective branches, as well as other complex pages such as Weapon Statistics and Status Effects. On each of the class pages, I'm managing everything, down to every last word, category, and even table aliginment if that was ever a concern. Right now, I housekeep the Soldier and Heavy pages and fix up anything out of line. Heh, it's quite a task. I'm glad to see you're enthusiastic about working with us here on the Wiki. However, to keep up a clean standard for the many people who view our Wiki, that requires consistency and quality across pages.

I see you have just added some categories to a range of pages. They are very hard to maintain across the pages they're tagged to, and we'd like them to be an effective means of navigation for people with little knowledge, as other Wikis have managed to do nicely. I could imagine you and Bo$$ Eats Cheese have some competition going with points and badges. Let that be a fun motivator, but take care you don't get too caught up that you disregard the quality we'd like to maintain things at. Categories must be precise and relevant, and us administrators have established exactly what we're doing for each class page and their respective branches. If you would like a list of the ones we've decided, just ask, but please do not add additional categories or create new ones. If you don't know how they work, a category directs you to a page which will display a list of all pages tagged with that particular category. These lists can get very large, but should cleanly direct someone who knows nothing about the topic to more pages they're looking for.

For example, "Automatic" will display all the rapid fire hitscan weapons, and if it is the type of weapon someone feels they are good at using, and would like a list of all of them across each class, they would easily be able to locate each one without the struggle of jumping through tons of pages. Another example is "Melee", and simply shows the entire list of melee weapons (take note, these categories apply to Battle Bears Royale only). Irrelevant categories are either far too specific and serve no purposeful use - one we've had before was "food" - or too broad and cover an excessive number of pages with little useful connection between them, one of which you added as "Gun". We already have a "Weapons" category, which is more precise in covering related pages. It's all pretty organised, but much work is still required. I'm asking you can make regulated edits, keeping in mind the setups of pages and all the related content, such as setting the right categories for the right pages. This will make our jobs as administrators easier in coordinating every page, and keep everything neat and tidy for other viewers and editors.

I know that's a lot of writing, and I'm renowned for that trait, but hopefully this should help you understand a bit better some of our objectives here. If you have any questions at all, don't hesitate to ask. Bo$$ Eats Cheese has received a similar message.

Thank you.
