Five days into the month and no new category discussions? Time to fix that!
- There is pretty solid support across the board for all of the interactive item possibilities: change when clicked/hovered over, give holdable icon, teleport the player, or open pop-up.
- There was significant support for listing items that are continuously animated after being initially placed or after being clicked as animated den items. However, there was also significant opposition for doing the same with items that are continuously animated while hovered over, items that have a temporary animation when clicked, and items that have single-frame toggles to change appearance.

Recently, there were some votes to add categories for interactive items and animated items, but they only passed by a handful of extra supporters so I wanted to gather more feedback from the community based on some concerns that I saw from the voters.
Down below I will include possible types of items that might be relevant for certain categories. Please reply with which of them you like and which of them you don't like. Thanks!
Item Types
- MULTIPLE CHOICE - Please include as many as you like in your reply!
1. What things should go in the Interactive_Items category? (The definition of "interactive" in this case would be: responding to a user's input.)
- A - items that change their appearance when clicked (like changing colors, changing shape, turning lights on/off, causing some animation to start/stop, etc)
- B - items that change their appearance when moused-over/hovered-over (like an arcade machine lighting up, a den portal showing an arrow, etc)
- C - items that give a Holdable Icon when clicked
- D - items that teleport/transport the player to another place when clicked (like to another den, party, etc)
- E - items that open some dialog/pop-up when clicked (like arcade machines, teleportation books, etc)
- Other - Please include any additional ideas in your reply.
2. What things should go in the Animated_Den_Items category? (The definition of "animated" in this case would be: having the appearance of movement.)
- A - items that have a continuous animation when they are placed in a den (without having to click them to start the animation)
- B - items that have a continuous animation after being clicked
- C - items that have a continuous animation when moused-over/hovered-over
- D - items that have a temporary animation after being clicked
- E - items that have a single-frame animation after being clicked (like turning a light on/off, changing colors, etc when there are no additional animation frames)
- Other - Please include any additional ideas in your reply.
Q&A
What is a category? |
---|
A category is like a link to a page that lists similar items. It appears at the bottom of an article and (more recently) also at the top of an article. For example, the Category:Epic Wonders appears at the top and bottom of the article for every item that is currently or was formerly sold at Epic Wonders; when clicked, it takes you to a "Category" page that shows a list of all the other items that are currently or were formerly sold there.
