Category talk:Armor bonus

categorization

i already asked this at talk:rune but i think this is actually the more appropriate place.

currently individual insignia are categorized under both category:armor bonus (which is sub-cat of category:armor) and category:insignia (which is sub-cat of category:upgrade components). the armor bonus article mentions runes as a bonus, so would it not make more sense to do the following?:

1. make insignia a sub-cat of armor bonus rather than have it in there individually and
2. make runes a sub-cat of armor bonus since it is mentioned in the article or
3. remove the armor bonus category (since it contains the same links as the insignia category anyways) even if u had to rework the article a bit

I would vote for removing them from the the "armor bonus" category, since they are not really inherent anymore (as far as i know, they were changed long ago, true?). Also, since they work esentially in the same way as runes, Category:Insignia seems fine (which would be consistent with the way runes are categorized).--Fighterdoken 17:16, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Well insignia is a tangible item, whereas the armor bonus is not. Because the insignia articles cover both it leads to that categorization. - BeX 05:55, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

huh? the insignia article doesn't even have the words "armor bonus" in it. it has "upgrade components." or do u mean the individual articles? anyways, if u want to keep the armor bonus category, would it not make sense to put runes as a sub-category since the article specifically lists runes as an armor bonus? basically, i'm saying that it doesn't make sense to have a category which is populated by the same set of articles as another category. the way we can differentiate them is to place runes in armor bonus or remove armor bonus.

another solution is to delete runes from the armor bonus article. the way i currently read the article is that the "bonus" refers to any modifications on top of unmodified armor. the way u seem to see it is that the "bonus" is an actual armor level addition. if that's the case, runes should be removed from the article b/c they don't increase armor level. --VVong|BA 14:57, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

Armor bonus is added stats on top of basic armor, so yes, runes give an armor bonus too. - BeX 23:26, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

okay, so before i go and make the change, i wanna make sure i don't just get reverted. if u have no objections, i'm gonna move insignia and runes to a subcat of armor bonus. --VVong|BA 23:44, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

They should also both be a sub-cat of upgrade components too, if they already aren't. - BeX 00:02, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

yup, they already are. --VVong|BA 00:10, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
