:I agree with you that FPS and RTS genres are a bit confusing and it would be only natural to divide them into at least two subgenres. Yet it's not that easy to do. We don't have a good enough tool to distinguish between real-time strategy and turn base strategy. Take a look at the bottom of this [http://pcsx2.shoutwiki.com/w/index.php?title=Template:Infobox_game&action=edit page]. You can see how it works, its just simple comparison of words against the genre string and is a case sensitive one at that. :-\ For now all the gernres that contain words "RTS" and "Strategy" will be filed under "RTS" category and those contain "Shooter" or "FPS" will go into "Shooter" category. Lets split them alright, but first we need to find out how. I can propose something like:<br/> | |||
:"RTS",("Real" and "strategy"),("real" and "strategy") -> [[:Category:RTS]]<br/> | |||
:"TBS", ("Turn" and "strategy"),("turn" and "strategy") -> [[:Category:TBS]]<br/> | |||
:"FPS","Shooter","shooter" -> [[:Category:FPS]]<br/> | |||
:("Shoot" and "them"),("shoot" and "them") -> [[:Category:Shoot-em-up]]<br/> | |||
:Although it would only be viable if I will make this stupid braket language work in case of 'and' conjunction which I didn't try before. I can also maybe lowercase the genre beforehand with <nowiki>{{lc:XXX}}</nowiki> command so the comparison will be case insensitive (it would make this mess of a code much more messier). What do you think? --[[User:Ngng|Ngng]] 06:44, 19 February 2011 (UTC) | |||
