 IMAGE CATEGORIZATION PROJECT 

What is this all about?
Image galleries are Evil&trade;. Certain legal-minded people within Wookieepedia have been trying to destroy them since they stated popping up, and the latest Mofference finally came to a consensus on how to do just that.

We will replace them. With something that's effectively self-cleaning and self-maintaining.

No longer will we have images that exist only in a gallery. No longer will we have pages that exist only to serve as a deliberately-constructed copyright violation.

We will categorize them.

Every file on Wookieepedia. All  of them.

Yes. We're serious. It can and will be done. Look at Memory Alpha. The kriffing Star Trek wiki has done it. Why can't we? Our universe is better than theirs. In every other way, our wiki is better than theirs. How can we let them have a cleaner and neater method of sorting images than us?

HOW DO WE FIX THIS!?!?
It's easy. Edit the image description page and add a category to the box. Or two. Or seventeen. However many the image fits into.

Proposed category structure
We're going to kick this project off by sorting by source. That's easy, for images that have a source.

The source tree will go like this:


 * Lucasfilm
 * Licensee (WEG, Decipher, etc.)
 * Product family (RPG, CCG, etc.)
 * Source name

Then we source by subject.
 * Top level image type (images of people, images of devices, images of ships, etc.)
 * More specific (images of Jedi, images of weapons, images of fighters, etc.)
 * Extra specific (Luke Skywalker images, Lightsaber images, X-wing images, etc.)

Then we source by type.
 * Live action subjects
 * CGI subjects
 * Photorealistic CGI
 * Artistic CGI
 * Artistic subjects
 * Technical drawings
 * Comic art
 * Other art

Categories

 * Edited as needed

Anything else?
You tell us! Like my old shop teacher always used to say, "measure twice, cut once." Of course, he was missing a pinkie and wouldn't discuss it, so maybe he's not the best guy to quote. But anyway, in true Wookieepedian fashion, "discuss it, then do it." So get to discussing! -- Darth Culator  (Talk) 22:36, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

Discussion

 * I don't know if the categories have beenc reated yet, but an example here on Wookieepeida would be useful. [Edit] Just checked the Trek version and it is rather impressive if conmplex. --Eyrezer 22:52, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
 * How would this work with the categories created by copyright tags? Would we change those at all? -- Ozzel 22:53, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm definitely ready to help with this once it's ready to go. But like Eyrezer said, are the caegories created yet? - JMAS 23:10, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Okay, well... how are we doing on this? Ready to go yet? -- Ozzel 07:29, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I started a breakdown of the possible categories above. It shows how insanely complex this can get. It may be best to start with the "type" and "licensee" categories, since "subject" is just confusing. —Xwing328 (Talk) 15:15, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Also, I just had an idea (based on somebody's suggestion before): Add three new fields to Information so that we can tell when an image is fully/correctly categorized, something like:

Thoughts? —Xwing328 (Talk) 15:19, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
