  This would help new users to find more exact categories for a lot of their created plants etc - it is a real struggle trying to find just the right template for that single 'thing' that isn't on the list.

    This idea has merit, BUT -   What complicates this feature request is the myriad subspecies lists that would have to be compiled for each species which would be very labor intensive. I suggest implementing this feature as a free-form hierarchical field, where the user can just type in whatever name they want , and go as deep as they want for any species/subspecies heirarchy.

  I will never use this feature because I use bbcode for everything and I don't like the article prompts clogging up my articles in ways I can't modify...but it would be a useful feature for other people.   For it to work though, you're going to need like 150 or more different types of species so everything is properly covered and it accounts for both fantasy and sci fi, just like the organization template (There's like 30+ different corporation types on that list for example). So have one word types like Flora, Fauna, humanoid, microbe, etc. but also have two word subtypes as well, like "Sapient, Flora"; "Sapient, Humanoid"; "Sapient, Quadruped"; "Sapient, Microbe"; "Sapient, Other".

  An interesting idea, and even opening new options for those GM+ doing custom article templates that could maybe sort that subtype for different display (on their destination sidebar species lists)

  I think the idea is good. Should more categories be needed eventually, I guess they can be added later with relative ease, as soon as the 'groundwork' of creating the drop down menu is done. (In case it is even a drop down menu - what do I know?)

  I don't know if the proposed solution is the best, but I think some thought about it from the developer side would be really good. There is definitely something that can be improved.   Otherwise, yes, what UnknownWriter88 did here is really not appropriate. Because suggestions are appreciated here.

  I like the concept, but like others have said: you'd need a way to make the categorisation customisable in one way or another. I am not sure how that could be implemented efficiently, hence the minor upvote.

  I really like this in concept, but you'd need to be able to customize the "categories". You can do something similar with enough effort and efficient tagging, but until tags get updated that is a paaaain.

  I'd rather not be forced to categorize species by 'humanoid' and 'monster,' because my world does not canonically hold to those particular terms. They should exist as options, for folks whose worlds have a stronger D&D slant, but for those of us who don't, I'd suggest subcategories like 'Species: Sapient.'   This'd make it more friendly to sci-fi worlds too.

  While it is a great idea, I don't believe it is absolutely necessary. However, BBcode is an easy way to incorporate your idea.   Voting up a bit because I agree with A Glamorous Velociraptor that UnknownWriter88's tone was very disrespectful and comes off as derogative. You stated an opinion you like. There was no reason for them to say that last line. Besides, this place is supposed to be civil, not rude.

  I think the current generic solution is good enough. If you need more specific categorization you can customize it by using BBCode in the sidebar instead of depending on the template prompts.   There are already a lot of prompts so adding 5 - 10 more of these would be too much. Maybe if in the future we have less static templates where we can more dymanically define / customize relationships this will make sense as a template for it.

  Your idea is not a bad one BUT each world has different categorizations for their species. I am downvoting because you are not providing a good solution of how to do this, not because I think it's a wrong suggestion - just incomplete.   I honestly cannot imagine how would that work.
