The reason: Huge series (Such as Rock's Breath series) would take up a lot of space in the category, so I think it would be better to have each series as either

1. A sub page to their user page that is placed in the series category. (Example: User:Rockamorow/Breath)

2. A sub page to the category. (Category:Series/Breath)

Or

3. A project page with the category added as a template (Example: Spinpasta Wiki:Breath. At the bottom of the page would be (if I'm not mistaken) either or  . I can't remember which. I believe it is the first, since there is no colon which would normally create a link.)

I personally favor any one of them, but I think we should decide on one. That was originally my idea, but due to the complications of it (as I was testing it out on my Sandbox wiki), the only thing that I can figure out is just making a (and excuse my language) cluster-fuck of templates.

The category, it may work. But then, of course, it'll be useless. Unless if the user has more than/the minimum of 15-20 pastas. Then that could be arranged. But, if the series isn't that real big, and not well known. Then it doesn't get a category. But, like Breath, and Ultimates' pasta series,  then it'll be good to have a sub-category. I haven't seen LOLSKELETONS come over to this wiki without including the words "fuck," "shit," or "damn" in his comments, so language is excused.

The thing is, the point of the category is to minimize the amount of time finding a pasta. (Sort of). Well, instead of creating a cluster-fuck of subcategories, I do have to say:

I doubt it would be too complicated, perhaps to create a project page, and put links to each pasta in the series (in order) in a bulleted list, then include the category, linked without a colon (thus giving the project that category). Unless you are saying that's what you tried out. I could also take a look and then if mine goes better include a tutorial.

But doing without either will just completely defy the point.

Btw, we will need to do a ' massive overhaul of the Category Listing. ' Clarification of what categories are for what and etc. Possibly even delete a couple.
