Forum:CT Archive/Species by planet

Hey everybody. Our Category:Species by planet currently is a mish-mash of two different kinds of categories&mdash;some categories only include species that are native to a planet, while others contain all of the species known to have lived on that planet at one point or another. In my mind, the second kind of category is rather trivial; it's sort of like a category of cantina patrons. Category:Species by planet in general needs some major cleanup, but before any of that starts, I thought it best if we standardize which method of species categorization we want to go with.

Having the categories just for species that are native to the planet seems more encyclopedic and less trivia-ish. Plus, this would prevent an overload of categories for species like nerfs, sarlaccs, and hssiss that are seen on numerous planets&mdash;not to mention the fact that sentient species are included in these categories, and therefore Human would have hundreds of categories applied to it. Not to mention, the very name&mdash;Species of _____&mdash;implies that the species is native to the planet.

Categories for native species
