Category talk:Human Ships

Specificity, cleanup of templates, etc.

I feel that, rather than slap this top-level category into every human ship out there, we should establish a more specific category tree for not only UNSC ships (not every human ship is UNSC), as well as the various classes (and in applicable cases, sub-classes) of ships within the UNSC.

Additionally, I think we should get rid of list templates like Template:Prowlers and Template:UNSC Frigate. List templates can be useful for contained sets of subjects (e.g. specific teams or units or things like the Halo Array) where constant and boundless expansion isn't expected, but with things like individual ships of a given type we know there's going to be more of them, and in those cases categories are more useful as they don't require you to update the template as well. This is the same reason we got rid of, for example, the "ONI Personnel" and "Sangheili" list templates. Similarly, it's easier to just link to the category on those ship classes' respective pages rather than have updateable lists like we do on, say, the UNSC destroyer page. --Jugus (talk) 01:12, 12 October 2016 (EDT)
