I am having an odd problem. I am trying to watch for certain types of changes, namely new things being added to certain categories (characters and games). Two possibilities, I am given: I could constantly (daily or so) look at the respective categories, or I could subscribe to the Recent Changes feed. Neiter is something I want to do. The perfect situation would be lists of said categories, much like list of titles that was on the main page, as well as how the Final Fantasy Wiki does its "List of ... characters" articles. In a perfect world, these lists would make it easier to work on projects like a recently concluded one I did at the FFWiki: finalfantasy: user blog: Eric Ryan Jones/Final Fantasies by US release date

KrytenKoro - Most bears were content to live their lives, mauling and eating one, maybe two humans at most. "Mass-murder," as the bears always said, "is for the sharks." But not Barry. Barry was different. He knew that one day, he would kill ALL of the humans. This is the inspiring, tear-jerking story of one bear and the dream he dared to dream. TALK - What are you actually trying to do by watching those categories? And if it's only two, why can't you just check them every day?

My actual goals, one brings to question, eh? 'Tis in fact an ongoing project of mine: I keep track of game releases and character information in a database. This aids me in creating tables of ordered lists like the one I linked to above (which includes Kingdom Hearts titles). In return for that information and its sorting, I add information of that subject I find outside of Wikia to the wiki, and I watch the list pages and the pages they list for vandalism and such. Don't just think on me here, though! Wouldn't you expect others to want a place to see the exact titles and their order of spoilage and storyline? What about a place to see which characters appeared in each game in which other subcategories do not muddle your search? Of your other question, many more than two are there if one thinks on it: there are subcategories. Also, there is the added challenge of keeping and comparing to an external list of what was already there. This challenge is not necessary if I keep watch over a list, as the additions are always in red on the diff pages.
