Creating categories for all attacks

If it's okay, I'd like to resume this project of creating categories for all TCG attacks. This includes creating the missing attack categories from Special:WantedCategories.

At the moment, there are a few cards using "namecategory=None" so they explicitly don't have an attack category. For instance, Vikavolt-GX (Guardians Rising 45) is automatically placed in both Category:Cards with Charge Beam and Category:Cards with Super Zap Cannon but it's also using the "namecategory=None" so it's actually not in Category:Cards with Gigatron.

In the future, I'd like to remove those few instances of "namecategory=None" like that so all card attack categories can be created. --Daniel Carrero (talk) 18:17, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

To be fair, if anyone wants to discuss ideas about creating some TCG attack categories but not all of them, I suppose "namecategory=None" could potentially be used somehow. But then again, I wonder what the criteria would be. This would also require some maintenance. For instance, if we decide that hundreds of attack categories should not exist, I suppose this would probably mean adding "namecategory=None" in hundreds of card articles?

Personally, I like how this "Cards by attack" category basically works as a full list of all TCG attack names that is easily expanded when more card articles are created. --Daniel Carrero (talk) 18:36, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

Articles for TCG attacks

At some point in the future, I'm thinking that move articles like Tackle (move) could explain how the moves are used in the TCG (Category:Cards with Tackle).

We might also want to talk about creating articles explaining some TCG attacks even if they are not found in the video games. For instance, something like a "Ram (attack)" or "Ram (TCG)" article comparing how this attack is used in 173 cards (Category:Cards with Ram). --Daniel Carrero (talk) 18:36, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
