Implemention of a categorisation that suits the 6 wikis, knowing that "Forge" and "Lore" are integrated in the 5 "linguistical" wikis (and the "common" images as far as possible). There are for each wiki (DE, EN, ES, FR, RU) the same roots. These are:

Encyclopatys

the actual encyclopedic wiki, powered by all the players

Wikipatys

the wiki maintenance tools (template, technical doc, archive...), powered by all players with some advanced experience of Mediawiki and Wikipedia.

Forge

all the documentary and technical content enabling the development of Ryzom

Lore

all the Lore officially transmitted or approved by the Ryzom Lore Team

The main categories are associated with portals themselves pointed by navigation templates thru Portals, and answer questions: About the game:

• "'What is the game Ryzom?"': the universe of Ryzom ("'THE Lore"'), and how to play it
• "'What is the world I am in?"': Atys, the planet, its fauna, its flora...
• "'Which races will I be able to embody?"': Fyros, Matis, Tryker or Zoraï.
• "'What are the divine or assimilated powers of the planet, as well as the major groups that will direct my actions?"': Kamis, Karavan, Rangers, Marauders, Trytonists.

Then comes the "Encyclopedia" co-managed by the "'players and animators"':

• "'The Chronicles of Atys"' are the official texts used as reference to describe the past
• "'The Great Library"', contains all the players ' experience that does not necessarily fit into any of the previous subjects
• "'The arcane' contain the "behind the scenes" of the wiki.

With the exception of the "Forge" items, the goal is to attempt to categorize all items directly or indirectly into at least one category in the following table. It is not useful, and even harmful, to define and freeze all the categories of levels lower than those in the tables. Players and writers can create and manage the categories they want, as long as they link them to those written in the current tables and above all avoid creating "root" categories, otherwise the Sysop will integrate them where it suits best, the aim being to have some harmonization between the 5 language wikis.

All missing bricks ("category" and "template") must be written in English by default. This does not apply to old bricks already made. When two bricks co-exist, one in English the other in local, the wisest, in general, is to redirect the English brick on the local. The reason is that developers( including Sysop) are comfortable in English, but not necessarily the players / contributors.
