If I was doing to describe Teufeldorf as Gundarakite, which it is historically and in terms of its overwelming ethnic make up, then are we creating a problem if we are using Ethnic Group, as Teufeldorf is not an ethnic group, but is rather something of an ethnic group, which ethnicity seems to better catch?[[User:Cure|Cure]] 15:29, 27 April 2010 (UTC) | |||
Well, I made the switch before I saw Cure's comment, (though of course it could be switched back). But I think that's a bigger issue than among ethnicity. it also applies to nationalities too. Right now we have ethnicities and nationalities under society, which was supposed to be a group of npcs. But they can be applied to other things as well. (see [[:Category:Barovian]]. I don't know if it's worth separating "Barovian people" from "Barovian things". Perhaps we can just live with it. Perhaps the assumption of "each thing in Category:X is an X" only applies to the monsters. Maybe we can relax it for other areas of the wiki. (In any case, I don't see Ethnicity applying to an object or place any better than Ethnic Group does, but that's might be just me). -- [[User:Gonzoron|Gonzoron]] 17:34, 27 April 2010 (UTC) | |||
