Combat Vehicle Renaming

Generally unless there are multiple items with the same name, no need to add (Combat Vehicle) style disambigs to items. Categories do the job you seem to be going for with the renames. Cyc 04:08, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

Infantry Weapon category naming

Hi PerkinsC, I have question for you. Why do you have all your new categorys of weapons listed in a single name? Like MissileWeapons & HeavyWeapons? Why no spacings? -- Wrangler 22:00, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

No Idea, i think I started doing that when I built the InfoBoxInfantryWeapon, and its more inertia than anything else now... Should they be seperated by Spaces or underscores, or does it just automaticly treat spaces as underscores and just do not worry about it...? Edit as best fits, and I will continue in that pattern henceforth.--Cameron 23:46, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

I will edit the existing category references in the files, but I do not have the rights to move the existing categories. Could someone with the rights please edit existing categories that I made without spaces? --Cameron 14:16, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

When you move/rename a article such as change it from HeavyWeapons to Heavy Weapons. The wiki code makes a redirect in the old name. Thus anything still uses the old name is re-directed to renamed/moved article. -- Wrangler 14:41, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

Infantry Weapon Sub-Categories

Related Matter, how do I do Sub-Categories... I.E. Ballistic Weapons have Slug-Throwers, Recoilless Weapons, Gauss Weapons. Thats very straight forward... however, the thing that is tripping me up is that I would like to do a Support Machine Gun type Weapon under Category: Infantry Weapon / Support Weapon / Ballistic Weapon / Slug-Throwers / Burst-Fire while a Sub-Machine Gun Type weapon would fall under Category: Infantry Weapon / Long Arms / Ballistic Weapon / Slug-Throwers / Burst-Fire. --Cameron 23:46, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

Factory Product Link /

Just curious why your adding / via pipe to many of the product links on the factory pages, not included in TRO or Objective Raids, curious what purpose it serves. Cyc 23:15, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
