Droids w/ personalities[]
Is it safe to assume that droids with personalities (R2, IG-88, etc) should be in both Category:Droids and Category:Characters, in contrast to buzz droid or battle droid, which are only in Category:Droids? -- Aidje 19:05, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Come to think of it, IG-88 is a bad example, since he'll already be in Category:Bounty hunters (subcat of Characters). -- Aidje 19:11, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- There's no problem with overlap. Wikipedia does it all the time with real people who are more than one thing. That way it ensures that a person can find them either way through either category if they don't type up a search. -- Riffsyphon1024 20:09, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- I guess I'll take that as a "Yes, droids with personalities are considered characters." Thanks. -- Aidje 21:49, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Tags[]
I've been looking at some droid articles and am confused as to which tags should be applied. For example, on R2-0, the article has both a droid and an astromech droid tag. R2-D2, on the other hand, has only an astromech tag. Which way is correct? Thanks. RMF 00:48, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Sub-Cats[]
I think this needs to be broken down into specific sub-categories. We've already got astromech, battle and protocol droids, but there's also probe droids, labor droids, service droids and a number of other variants—though I think the lines are a little blurred over different sources. Any way to properly organize this? - Kwenn 08:35, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
- By degrees, perhaps? Then the categories would be First-degree droids (scientific and medical), Second-degree droids (Engineering and technical sciences), Third-degree droids (Social sciences and services), Fourth-degree droids (Security and military), and Fifth-degree droids (menial labor and other intelligence-nonintensive jobs).
- Possibly, though it may get a little confused, especially with users not knowledgeable about that system adding new articles. Perhaps we could further subdivide those cats into smaller ones for specific types (e.g, Fourth-degree > Battle droids or Third-degree > Protocol droids)? - Kwenn 09:50, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
- So, to clarify, the proposition is: [[Category: First-degree droids]], [[Category: Second-degree droids]], [[Category: Third-degree droids]], [[Category: Fourth-degree droids]], plus keep existing cats for assassin, astromech, battle, labor, medical and protocol droids as sub-cats of those above. Is this OK? - Kwenn 11:46, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
Interrogator Droid[]
WHERE IS THE IT-0?!?!?!?!?!
Protocol Droids[]
This sort of relates to the cleaning up of Category:Droids in general. I was thinking that regarding a series of droids, like 3PO-series protocol droid, that we could either de-list individual units, like C-3PO, from Category:Protocol droids and leave them listed as "known units" under 3PO-series protocol droid or we could make series of droids, like 3PO-series protocol droid, as sub-categories of Category:Protocol droids and list individual units under that category.

Government Droids[]
I think that there should be a sub-category for droids manufachured for the governments, ex. CIS Droids, Galactic Empire Droids... Anyone agree? 216.168.82.80 03:01, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
