PvXwiki:Farming Categorization Project

The purpose of this project is to make farming builds more navigable and identify+fill gaps in our farming build coverage.

To-do List

 * Make portal page for easy navigation of categories.
 * Create a template to be placed on build pages for
 * categorization Yes – FarmCat
 * navigation and visibility.
 * Add all remaining wanted categories. Yes
 * Categorize all farming builds as per the below category tree.
 * Add redirects/disambiguation pages for common farms (ectos, shards, etc.)
 * Vaettir Yes
 * Raptor Yes
 * Redirects for everything people may search when they want to farm Globs of Ectoplasm.
 * Redirects for everything people may search when they want to farm Obsidian Shards.
 * Archive or trash inefficient/outdated builds.

Category Tree
Unless there are no subcategories, builds will only be added to their relevant subcategories (don't add a build to Farmed Materials and Farms Feathers, for example). Use FarmCat for categorization.

Builds that are identified as farming nothing worthwhile (or being much less efficient than others in all their farming categories) should be archived/trashed as appropriate.

Farming Categories
 * Category:Farms General Loot – for builds that generate a noteworthy amount of gold pieces or general loot that's merchable. Used as the overarching category for other farming categories that don't belong anywhere else.
 * Category:Farms Gold Items – for builds that generate a worthwhile amount of rare ('gold') items.
 * Category:Farms Insignias and Minor Runes – farms which tend to produce plenty of common ('blue') armour drops.
 * Category:Farms Superior Runes – farms which tend to produce plenty of rare ('gold') armour drops.
 * Category:Farms Boss Items – elite tomes have their own category.
 * Category:Farms Event Items – only put builds in here that have the largest ratio of number of enemies/time spent farming
