Editing Category talk:Undead

Would it be a better idea to just create separate categories called ghosts, skeletons, mummies, spirits, zombies and leave out the speculation-loaded term of "undead"? I don't think this is a useful category and even the sentence reeks of early Wiki fluff. {{User:Bazooka Mario/sig}} 14:56, 19 August 2018 (EDT)
:Possibly. I made a good portion of the subcategories here, myself, but "undead" is still commonly used as a generic term. Which is probably a good thing, because it's a ridiculous word. Keeping all the things "traditionally" classified as "undead" together does have its own merits, however.

::I don't know, you have things like [[Buffy the Dolphin]], [[Bonneter]], [[Golden Diva]], [[Hoohoo Spirit]], [[Broozer]], [[Ghosts (Pac-Man)]], [[Sewer Guru]], [[Phantom Ember]], [[Wandering Soul]], and many others who are in this category because they're spirits/ghosts though not necessarily "undead", just paranormal. {{User:Bazooka Mario/sig}} 14:56, 19 August 2018 (EDT)
:::Maybe "Paranormal" for a category instead? {{User:Baby Luigi/sig}} 15:11, 19 August 2018 (EDT)
::::Probably. I'd support a separate category for ghosts/spirits and remove elements like the above, but do keep Portrait Ghosts and any other ghosts/spirits that were explicitly and consistently described as being derived from the living. Things like Boos are not frequently shown enough to be "undead" (Boo has only a one-off joke about [[Igor]] and [[:File:Mario (Defeated) - Super Mario Sticker.gif|Mario having the Boo version of him leaking out in a GIF]], played as a comical gag) and so should be left off this category. {{User:Bazooka Mario/sig}} 15:30, 19 August 2018 (EDT)
:::::And that overlaps all the moreso with [[:Category:Deceased Characters]].... [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 19:25, 19 August 2018 (EDT)
