Terminology[edit]

The word "Tower" only comes from the icon used by all of these locations. It really is a mix of Towers, Forts, Garrisons, etc. Should these all be split up onto multiple pages? Or simply choose one and indicate that it includes other related things? I'd vote for "Fort" as that seems to be most common, although it would not include the Keeps in the Covenant territory, which all have the word "Fort" in the name. Either way, I think we should be consistent with both the article names and the categories. We currently have one category for Category:Online-Places-Towers and another for Category:Online-Places-Forts, which seems fairly arbitrary. Will we also have one for "Garrisons", "Halls", "Citadels", "Prisons" and "Redoubts", all of which are represented on this page? I'd say just stick with one word even if it's not what's in the name of the place, or you're going to have a lot of categories with only 1 or 2 things in them, and have to make a judgement call on what goes where in cases where there isn't an obvious word in the title (e.g. Southpoint, Cradlecrush, Mistwatch). — TheRealLurlock (talk) 15:50, 1 April 2014 (GMT)
