"Bodies of water"

[Driftmaster130]

Per Tucayo's comment here (Category_talk:Bodies_of_Water), locations that only include water (e.g: seas, rivers, lakes) do not fall into this category (Category:Bodies of Water), only locations that are a body of water in themselves. Please help by removing the category where uneeded.

I had kinda wanted to take this upon myself, but okay. If you have any doubts as to what constitutes an actual body of water, please post them here and we'll try to reach an agreement.

Do levels containing mostly a body of water including Fish Food Frenzy count? Time Turner is undoing my edits. I don't think they count as bodies of water.

 

[Hobbes]

That's a tricky one. While the levels take place in bodies of water, the article itself represents a level, not a body of water, so I'd say remove the category. An example of an article that represents both could be Mystic Lake.

 

[Time Turner]

We can call Big Boo's Haunt a Ghost House because that's mostly what it's composed of, so why can't we call Fish Food Frenzy a body of water? Also, I only undid one of your edits.

 

[LeftyGreenMario]

The problem, I think, is that Fish Food Frenzy would be considered a level name, not a body of water. Some level names can include both, such as Pirate Bay, but Fish Food Frenzy isn't the name for the body of water. Now, if it were something like "Fish Food Frenzy Pond", it would be considered a body of water.

Tearaway Toboggan's (Tearaway Toboggan) a snowscape, Fire-Ball Frenzy's (Fire-Ball Frenzy) a factory, Konveyor Rope Klash's (Konveyor Rope Klash) a jungle, Doorstop Dash's (Doorstop Dash) a building, the point is that you're going have to make more than a few changes to be consistent.

 

[LeftyGreenMario]

I guess that's going to be another thing I have to do. Honestly, though, stuff like Defeat the Giant Spear Man (3-2) (1) shouldn't be considered a forest or a body of water.

 

[Time Turner]

We can agree on that, but for the moment, leave the DKC levels alone.

 

[LeftyGreenMario]

I want to see the consensus first. I am not convinced that we should keep "bodies of water" in articles pertaining to the levels and not the water.

Anyway, is Kero Sewers considered a body of water? I don't think we should equate sewers to bodies of water. Aren't sewers simply underground waste transportation?

 

[Time Turner]

Yeah, sewers fall more under subterranean areas, which it's already a part of, so I wouldn't mind removing the category there.

 

[Hobbes]

I wouldn't consider sewers to be bodies of water, but that would raise another question; following a similar logic, are fountains bodies of water? Sure, they do contain water, but they aren't natural bodies of water.

For reference.

Fountains are more as structures with water, but not bodies of water. Think about it: would a toilet be considered a body of water? Just because it is artificial does not mean it is not a body of water. Remember, we have artificial lakes, which are very likely to be considered bodies of water.

EDIT: I removed most badly placed categories. See if there are any more. (Category:Bodies of Water)

Per Lefty on the fountain points. And Mariotime11, you've got yourself a broken link in your first post.

I've removed the category from some of the icy terrains.

thanks, it's fixed. And also, I removed the category from Island of Peril, but it still shows up (Category:Bodies of Water).

That's odd, I don't see any "I" entries. Maybe clear the cache (refresh the page), and see if that does anything.

I'm using a different computer this time but it's still there.

 

[Shoko]

Yeah I believe that the server is still remembering the page, much like when one reupoads an image, it shows the size of the new one with the image of the old one until the cache is cleared. Try pressing ctrl and F5 at the same time.

Control and F5? Don't you simply have to press F5?

They're different. F5 just refreshes the page, while ctrl clears the cache.

Thanks, it worked

It seems that all the beaches have been removed, excluding actual bodies of water with the name "beach" in them.

 

[Shoko]

How about things that are already categorized as snowscapes, like Sherbet Land (course) and Rosalina's Ice World? Should the category remove the category there?

I think so, because even if its a frozen lake or something, it's not actually water.

 

[LeftyGreenMario]

An Ice World is not a lake. Vanilla Lake is a body of water, so don't get that mixed up.
