That's alright. It's a good thing to have a quick reaction to vandalism/un-helpful edits, but of course, it's always a good idea to check a user's profile/full contribution history, before assuming they are here for nefarious purposes. 😉

Some of your reverts seemed somewhat indiscriminate, so I want to double check this with you before re-doing any of this work. As is standard across Fandom, I was arranging categories on the wiki in a tree structure like so:
 * Category:Lost Alpha Wiki
 * Category:Lost Alpha
 * All of the game content categories (ex. Category:Items)
 * Game content sub-categories (ex. Category:Unique Items)

The goal of this change is for the wiki's content to be more intuitive for search engine results, and by extension, increase the likelihood that people searching for Lost Alpha info end up on this wiki (and at the correct article).

I have already improved the wiki's SEO going forward with some of the changes I made, but at the moment, there are a lot of categories thrown into the wiki's main category for game content (Category:Lost Alpha), leading to an unnecessarily long list of sub-categories. For example, you will find "Items", "Food Items", "Medical Items", "Unique Items" and "Quest Items" categories all listed there along-side each other, when those could all become sub-categories of Category:Items. Sub-categorizing these types of item categories into the overall "Items" category would condense that list while simultaneously allowing users to narrow down their search for items from the Items category page. This is something that's been done for other categories/sub-categories on the wiki. As an example, look at the "Icons" sub-category within Category:Lost Alpha. There is a little "+" icon beside it that expands to reveal sub-categories for the various Icon categories - this is what I would like to accomplish for all of the "Items" "Missions" and "Locations" and the various aspects of "Gameplay".

I know you already undid many of my edits that would have accomplished this goal, but now that I have explained the rationale, would you be okay with this change and with me re-implementing those improvements? - Sitb ( Message wall / Talk page ) 19:47, September 6, 2020 (UTC)
