Dungeon Crawler Carl Wiki:Category Map

NOTE: As of March 2024, this project is more or less complete and this page is no longer monitored. Occasional category shuffles and modifications are now made by discussion on the Discord.

Project Summary

Objective

Create and implement a coherent (preferably themed) category tree for easier navigation between pages and navbar navigation. Master categories would branch into smaller categories rather than to pages. New categories can be added as needed, and would fit in the existing framework.

Deliverables

CHARACTERS

All named characters are sorted into the master Category:Characters list.

ITEMS

All "Items" are sorted into the master Items Category. Most items can also be located by refining the category:

ITEMS
Consumable Explosives • Food • Pharmaceuticals • Potions • Scrolls • Traps • Wands • Weapon Ammunition
Crafting Crafting Materials • Crafting Tables • Crafted Items
Equipped Accessories • Clothing • Jewelry • Patches • Tattoos • Weapons
Other Items Artifacts • Books • Celestial-Tier Items • Earth Items • Loot Boxes • Pet Items • Personal Spaces • Technology • T'Ghee Cards • Utility Items • Vehicles
Mechanics Inventory Menu • Equipping Gear • Looting
Definitions Glossary of Dungeon Terms • Item Keywords (Category)

Phase 1. Design (in Progress)

  • CAPITALIZED LINES are category pages.
  • Proper Case lines are individual pages that would be filed in that category, but don't have enough potential content to be category pages.
  • Italicized comments are notes / ideas / brainstorming.

CHARACTERS

This category already exists. We should make sure everyone is correctly classified as a character, so the list is complete. Subcategories will be added to the "Characters" category and manually set to sort as " Category Name," so they appear at the top of the category page list when loaded.

  • CRAWLERS - revise category to only include current crawlers
  • CRAWLERS/FORMER
  • DUNGEON ADMINS
  • NPCs - like the Characters category, would include a full list plus some special subcategories.
    • NPCs/ELITES
    • NPCs/PETS
    • NPCs/STRIPPERS - This category already exists and has (7) files.
  • SYNDICATE CITIZENS

DCC MEDIA

(3 subcategories)

  • DCC BOOKS - Future note: Should start adding collapsible, comprehensive synopses sections for each book.
  • CINEMATIC AUDIO - Soundbooth Theater cinematic adaptation; one page per season?
  • SINGLES - Like "Wondercrawl" and "Quoth the Donut."

INTERFACE

Basically, break down the HUD / Crawler Menu pages and use them as a themed navigation tool. This lets us flesh out the mechanics on individual category pages and expand on each category. I'm just concerned that it may get.. cluttered or hard to navigate.

  • CRAFTING. This is technically a menu?
  • FACTIONS. Because calling it the "Faction Wars Warlord Tab" looks like a spoiler.
  • HEALTH MENU
    • CONDITIONS
    • BUFFS
    • DEBUFFS
  • HUD
    • Minimap
    • Hotlist
  • INVENTORY. Items and such are categorized all over the place; we have "loot", "gear", "tools", "
    • ITEMS
      • T'GHEE CARDS
    • GEAR
      • PATCHES <-- Eekz: This way new people don't stumble across them? Maybe? Terrible idea?
    • LOOT BOXES
    • POTION
    • TATTOOS Sandboy: Is it worth giving PATCHES their own category as there are a lot of them. <-- Eekz: Great idea - look up.
    • VEHICLES
    • Hotlist
  • MAGIC MENU. Actual Category page would describe the magic rules.
    • SPELLS
  • Messaging Menu.
  • NOTIFICATIONS
    • ACHIEVEMENTS
  • PETS
  • Ratings.
  • PARTY & GUILD MENU
    • PARTIES
    • GUILDS
    • MEMBERSHIPS. Is this the correct menu?
  • PLAYER STATS
    • CRAWLER RACES
    • CLASSES
