Another issue I've encountered is pages like [http://robowiki.net?FuzzyLogicTargeting FuzzyLogicTargeting] and [http://robowiki.net?DisplacementTargeting DisplacementTargeting]. These are targeting methods that never really materialized, so it doesn't feel right actually listing them under "targeting strategies" like other methods; they are just discussions. But I don't think I can say for sure that they should be forever forgotten. (Displacement Targeting, for instance, I find especially interesting, and other similar discussions exist on the old wiki.) I was thinking of maybe making a "Targeting Discussions" category to put these pages in (they'd also go in "Discussions" and "Targeting"). Thoughts? Anyone got a better solution? --[[User:Voidious|Voidious]] 16:26, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

Organization of targeting methods

So far, this has been my setup for arranging targeting methods / categories:

  • Targeting (category)
    • Simple (category)
      • Simple method 1
      • Simple method 2
    • Advanced (category)
      • Advanced method 1
      • Advanced method 2
      • Statistical targeting (links to other advanced methods)
      • Log-based targeting (links to other advanced methods)
      • Angular targeting (links to other advanced methods)

Should those last 3 be their own categories instead? I guess maybe they should be; then we'd remove the "forms of" from those pages. Originally, I was thinking that they were like overlapping families of methods more than actual categories, so they should just be sibling pages under the "advanced" category, but now I'm not sure. Any other suggestions on how this setup should be different?
