Major Expansion

Heya
I see you've added the "major expansion" category.
In the description you write that major expansions are expansion in large boxes.
However Manor of Ravens or The Trollfens are not in large boxes, but in small ones.
Would they be classified as "minor expansion"?

Hello Psymia. Oh, I think I see what you're saying. I was glancing at the pictures on the fantasyflightgames.com store page, and they looked the same to me. I think I see now that they're different sizes.

The point of Category:Major Expansion was so that (nearly) everything in Category:Expansions could be in a subcategory. I wanted to read about all the expansions, but there were too many names in the list that I didn't know what they would be. The names Nature's Ire, Road to Legend, and Shadow of Nerekhall don't make it obvious what kind of expansion they're going to be, so I wanted to further organize the category.

I noticed that there are some very nice lists here: https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/products/descent-journeys-in-the-dark-second-edition/ I put everything there under "Expansions" in the this wiki's "Major Expansions" category. My description was "large box", but of course that can be changed. I haven't actually seen any of the boxes in person, only the base game box. (You might, perhaps, consider the size of the major expansion boxes "large" if you compare them to the Category:Hero and Monster Collection boxes or the Category:Lieutenant Packs boxes :) or perhaps the posted cost of each item should determine it's size.)

I see. If you read the description of each expansion, you can see which ones are "large box" and which are "small box" expansions.

Maybe it would be better to create these two categories and and add them as subcategories of the expansion category, and thus replace the "major expansion".

Speaking of expansion organization, do you have an opinion on which items are directly included in Category:Expansions rather than being transitively included in only a subcategory? For example, Splig Lieutenant Pack is in Category:Lieutenant Packs but not Category:Expansions (even though Category:Lieutenant Packs is a subcategory of Category:Expansions). By contrast, Oath of the Outcast is in both Category:Hero and Monster Collection and Category:Expansions directly. I don't personally have an opinion either way, but I noticed there was some inconsistency.

Phew. Proper categorisation is one of the reasons why i started the infobox card template. Manually setting the categories always results in inconsistencies if you don't have someone that keeps track of stuff and cleans it up.

In the specific example above i'd say, add it to the expansion category. It was probably just missed when the page was added.
