oHey. I think it's annoying to list the articles all the time. Why don't we just create categories? It's no big deal. Antennastoheaven 19:25, August 16, 2010 (UTC)

It's good to have a consolidated list, especially for things that could fall into multiple categories. It's way more helpful if you just remember bits of the story, as there's more that can spark the memory of the title. Bottom line, I think it's better to have both, so you can look in categories or at one big list.

Look at creepypasta.com; it's nearly impossible to find what you're looking for with the current state of the categories on the site.

StabbyStab 19:45, August 16, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, i see your point, but we don't have much more categories. Reality. People. Video Games. Objects. That could be any story on the whole world. And it's more comfortable for the editor to write [[Category:Scary Category Name]] at the end of an article. 19:52, August 16, 2010 (UTC)Antennastoheaven

I stopped with listing the Categories because I thought the Category page looked funky with the alpha organizing. That, and the fact that there are a ton of other categories already there, such as Help, and whatnot. Special:Categories

Contents 1 PLEASE BE TO NOTING 2 The Mother Fucking Pokemans... 3 How many pastas is worthy of cat orgies? 4 An Idea 5 Minecraft Category? 6 Pasta Categories 7 Slenderman category? 8 Therory 9 Why no Unfinished Page category? 10 Classics 11 There needs to be a new category: 12 Updating rules

PLEASE BE TO NOTING Edit

Remember, the categories should reflect the THEMES of the story, and not just something that was casually mentioned. The Wanderer on the Tracks was tagged as video games and it only mentioned a sentence of the characters playing their NES in passing. This was not a major point in the story.

Also, remember this too: By definition on the Genre Listing page, the categories Cryptids and Beings are mutually exclusive, meaning if a pasta belongs in Cryptids, it cannot belong in Beings. I am considering merging the two together to form Beings/Cryptids, since the Cryptid category is so small, but I don't think I need to retag every of the 100+ being pastas.

Input would be welcomed and appreciated. ClericofMadness 18:09, February 21, 2011 (UTC)

I'd have to say 10-15 Pastaz. Otherwise it's just unhealthy to us to clean it all up. I mean, my willpower can only handle so much w/o my smokiez!

Now of course, Separate cat orgies are fine, like books or Fuckin amazing but i am only talking about sub categories like zelda or photographs or "Lost Episodes" because without a large enough of a base for it to be a subcat it just belongs in the original

Pokemans has a lot, so does Zelda, but think. How much more room for expansion do they have? It might be nice to let people be able to find all the Pogeymans pastas at once, though. ClericofMadness 18:00, March 25, 2011 (UTC)

An Idea Edit

I'd suggest we make a new genre/section for the foriegn pastas.

I would rather have a translation as the main page, then have the Spanish pastas linked on that page. But that idea has merit, to find more... Will have to have admins mull on that.

Minecraft Category? Edit

How many Minecraft pastas do we have now? 'Cause it seems like three new ones per day show up, at the least. It might be time to add a category now. -King Starscream 13:38, June 1, 2011 (UTC)

Xan and I are brining up some more cats, and Minecraft is one of them, we will vote on this matter soon! Thanks for your idea!

Pasta Categories Edit

Coming back, the number of categories has gotten disorienting.

We need a simpler setup to keep everything clear as the number of pastas continues to grow.

If I was better with wiki edits, the editing would be done, but here are my thoughts on changes so far:

Sub categories coming off of fewer, more generalized ones.

"Beings" could include Ghosts, Gods, Demon/Devil, Monsters, and People

"Television" could include Lost Episodes

"Video Games" could include Pokemon and Zelda

"Horrible Troll Pastas" could include Memes

OC could be a tag instead of a category.

A "Classics" section should also be added to seperate the truly amazing pastas that inspired this wiki in the first place. Some examples would be Tulpa, Candle Cove, The Strangers, The Wanderer, Smile.jpg, Etc.

StabbyStab 03:32, June 11, 2011 (UTC)

Sounds like a good idea to me, but don't forget to add anything by Edgar Allan Poe to classics. AlixeTiir the herpa-derpa-durr 18:55, August 11, 2011 (UTC)

Slenderman category? Edit

I think we're starting to get to the point where Mr. Thin is getting enough stories to himself. Any thoughts? -King Starscream 16:31, July 13, 2011 (UTC)

^ Definitely agree. The old Slender Man category (don't remember who started it) should be brought back/revamped. RetardoTheMagnificent 21:23, July 13, 2011 (UTC)

I already brought it up.

Weirdozzy 21:26, July 13, 2011 (UTC)

TheroryEdit

That's how "Theory" is spelled in the genre listing. It's very silly. AlixeTiir the herpa-derpa-durr 01:58, October 24, 2011 (UTC)

Why no Unfinished Page category?Edit

It's not on the genre listing/categories thingy. Is that because it's a strictly admin thing? Mr.Zalgopasta 21:51, January 19, 2012 (UTC)

ClassicsEdit

I don't know about anyone else, but I for one would appreciate a "classics" category, for budding pasta aficionados to get acquainted with the most well known... Slenderman, Ben Drowned, that sort of thing. Missragtime 07:38, June 15, 2012 (UTC)

Experimentation??

those are my favorite pastas and should have their own genre!!

I'd be for this idea. The "Suggested Reading" list is pretty close, though.

~teh fade

Lets add a section about cats

Please sign your posts. And go to Cleric's talk page if you want it to be added.

TheShadyNerd (talk) 15:29, January 7, 2013 (UTC)

The "Animals" category fulfills that role quite nicely, so no. Furbearingbrick 15:29, January 7, 2013 (UTC)

There needs to be a new category: Edit

I think there needs to be a general "Humor/Parody" category, because I have a story that is mostly comedy, but it's also serious at some points.

I don't think it belongs in "Troll Pasta". Parkerw1997 (talk)

Updating rules Edit

The rules probably need to be updated some to accommodate for all the new site administration categories. Also, only two of the six Suggested Reading subcategories are even mentioned in the specific rules section. How long has it been since that was updated?
