@ Pauolo

I do understand about searching for the exact name of the page; my issue was more in regards to when I am searching for something that  might be either a page I don't know, or if say... I want to look up 'all mentions of a particular term, item, person, etc... and compare them.

I did this when I researched and then created the Blood Oxen page for Ox back in the day.

@ Ox

That's fine, and while I don't agree, I can see how you may think that. My questions thus is: why then bother with Categories at all. I mean when you changed the category 'Knife of Dunwall' to 'The Knife of Dunwall' all those pages had to be changed. If we didn't bother with the categories, that would have been unnecessary. One quick change to the NavBox and it'd been solved.

Also, there are four viable ways to search for something:

- click on the categories at the bottom

- go through the NavBoxes

- Use the search Bar at the top of the page

- use the drop-down menu at the top of the page when you highlight the 'About' tab

That's four things that basically do the same thing. I understand the usefulness of each of these, but one of my original points is there sometimes seems to be this witch-hunt for redundancy or what some people deem 'unnecessary' sections of this site, yet right here is a prime example of over redundancy of the same thing that is supported by the same people.

@ Teatime

I agree with you on the achievements NavBox

I mean why have this page: http://dishonored.wikia.com/wiki/Achievement

then each of these pages:

http://dishonored.wikia.com/wiki/Dishonored_Achievements

http://dishonored.wikia.com/wiki/Dunwall_City_Trials_Achievements

http://dishonored.wikia.com/wiki/The_Knife_of_Dunwall_Achievements

http://dishonored.wikia.com/wiki/The_Brigmore_Witches_Achievements

Then have a page for each achievement...

...then a category page for achievements http://dishonored.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Achievements...

...then finally have a NavBox listing AGAIN, every achievement?!?!

Talk about redundancy over-maxed. :P
