This is a talkpage associated with WikiProject Mesoamerica. This talkpage is for discussion relating to guidelines and conventions for the consistent categorisation of Mesoamerica-related articles.. Other WP:MESO project talk pages: |
Level | Type | Notes |
---|---|---|
level 0 | <entity> - Mesoamerica | Root category |
level 1 | Mesoamerica by <topic> | where <topic> accords with Scope division, eg Geography of Mesoamerica, History of Mesoamerica, etc. |
level 2 | Mesoamerica by <subtopic> | further subdivisions of highlevel <topic>s, where needed |
<entity> - Mesoamerican culture | head categories per culture/civilization (eg Maya civilization, Aztec); parent to Mesoamerican cultures & History of Mesoamerica | |
<entity> - Mesoamerican region | head categories per region or subregion (eg Chiapas, Gulf Coast); parent to Geography of Mesoamerica | |
level 3 | Mesoamerica by sub-<subtopic> | further refinement and specification of Mesoamerican subtopics |
Mesoamerican culture by <topic> | topical subcats per culture, eg Aztec mythology, Totonac sites | |
Mesoamerican region by <topic> | topical subcats per region, eg Archaeology of Central Mexico | |
level 4 | <entity> - Mesoamerican site/location | head categories for sites/localities (eg Palenque, Tenochtitlan), parented by appropriate Mesoamerica, culture and region topical/subtopical cats (mostly levels 3&4) |
Mesoamerican culture by <subtopic> | further refinement of topics per culture | |
Mesoamerican region by <subtopic> | further refinement of topics per region | |
level n | further hierarchy subdivsions as may be required |
To be noted here, any specific naming or other conventions which may apply to the categorisation of Mesoamerica-related articles.
I think we could use some additional categories, as we have some article subjects that are either not in Mesoamerican categories or are in some where they fit rather awkwardly.
First, perhaps categories related to modern traditions, culture, and of Mesoamerican peoples. For example Maximón is in the "Maya mythology and religion" with some articles about strictly pre-Columbian subjects. " Caste War of Yucatán" is in the "Maya peoples" category, which seems an awkward fit.
Second, what do people think about categorizing modern works related to Mesoamerica? I suspect we should do something with Chac: Dios de la lluvia and Apocalypto. -- Infrogmation 18:13, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
Can I get a clarification on what we're using "Aztec" to mean for categorization purposes? I assume it's "Nahua" or "Central Mexican", rather than specifically Aztec. -- Ptcamn 10:40, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
