Plugin Categories

Can the plugin categories be more strictly moderated ? At the moment people seem to love putting their project in as many categories as they can and it breaks browsing by category.

As an example this http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/getseed/ showed up in the world generators category along with a load of other plugins that are not world generators.

 

Yes. I will keep a lookout for this.

If you have other projects that violate this, feel free to make me aware of them.

 

Well here are all the ones that I don't think fit in the wgen category

World gen is the only category I follow really so manually filtering out all of these is boring as !

 

You don't think "wgenutils" fits in wgen?

 

I don't think it adds anything that isn't there already does it ? It's just an API to do some stuff that you have to go to net.minecraft.server for normally ?

 

Hmmm then wat category do you think it fits into? imo if a plugin creates any form of structure automatically or via command it should be in wgen...

 

It doesn't provide a totally new world which is what I would be looking for when browsing the wgen section. Maybe there should be a new category for plugins that add stuff.

 

yeah good point...or we could just broaden the wgen definition.

 

I would define world generation as anything that... well... generates a world..

 

But not world managers surely ? :?

 

If it has commands to generate worlds, I would consider it ok for the wgen section. If it's just stuff to "manage" a world and not actually generate anything, then no.

 

I was about to say shouldn't they be Admin Tools but I just looked to see what the actual name for that category is and turns out there is World Editing and Management

The second plugin in the category does not fit in that category at all either http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/livingbuilding/

EDIT: None of them seem to. This is un-fixable ! *no good laughing emote but imagine I used on here*
