Welcome
List of named ships
I appreciate the work you put into the list of known ships in the Feng Huang article. But ever since opting for full articles on individual ships we've been using the categories instead of listing individual ships in the article about a ship class. This is far easier to maintain as the categories will auto-update whenever a new individual ship article pops up.
That's why I changed your edit back to a category link. Just wanted to tell you why. :) Frabby (talk) 15:13, 21 January 2016 (PST)
- Thanks for letting me know! But it occurs to me... what about ships of that class that don't yet have articles? --Fireangel (talk) 14:31, 12 February 2016 (PST)

- How can I write them, if I don't know the article is missing? A ship named in canon should be mentioned in the article itself without relying to the ship class category; if the hypothetical Aegis-class SLS Cumbersome (mentioned in the hypothetical novel Warrior: Reatreat!) does not have an article in Sarna, and does not get mentioned in the Aegis article, how would anyone know that the article is missing unless they already knew of the existence of the ship?
- I posit that each ship class article should have a list of known ships of the class, rather than rely on the category page, in order to avoid this very issue. Why would the article itself not have a list of known ships of the class?
