Major Expansion

New page

==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 {{ValidateExpansion|manor}} or {{ValidateExpansion|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.
