Latest revision as of 22:05, 10 July 2024

This is a subpage of User:Carcharoth, and is intended for preliminary categorisation of Tolkien-related articles and other work on Tolkien categorisation. Please add anything you think is missing, and discuss issues of notability on the talk page.

Useful categories

Useful lists

Gather the lists together into categories such as Category:Tolkien lists and Category:Middle-earth lists.

Redirects

See Category:Middle-earth redirects.

Disambiguation pages

Some of these may need to be checked using "What links here" and the relevant articles redirected back to the correct page.

Top-level categories

My proposal here is to create a new top-level Category:Tolkien as part of the "by topic" grouping of categories. My reasoning is that the Misplaced Pages articles related to Tolkien are a loose collection of wide-ranging categories and articles connected by the topic and sometimes also the name of Tolkien and his works. It is important to realise that no other parent categories are needed for these top-level categories - links to other areas of the category "tree" should happen a few levels below these top level categories. Specifically, this is to avoid various articles ending up "underneath" the parts of the tree in which "Tolkien the person" ends up (such as author, British, philologist, etc.).

1) Linking into the high-level Category:Categories by topic:

Propose: Category:Tolkien

Parent category: Category:Categories by topic

An alternative is to group these wide-ranging articles at Portal:Tolkien (similar to Portal:Middle-earth).

2) Linking into the high-level Category:Categories by person:

Propose: Category:J. R. R. Tolkien

Parent category: Category:Categories by person

The "by name" category follows the naming convention, but the "by topic" category is the more intuitive "Tolkien" label (no need to type out "J. R. R. " all the time). In my opinion, the "name" category needs only one category itself, as stated above. All the other categories should be for the article on J. R. R. Tolkien.

Further, consider the "Tolkien" topic category as just an aggregator tag to collect together loosely-related articles connected only by the topic of Tolkien. The "name" category should really only be for articles about the person, and should be tightly focussed on that, IMO. I am currently discussing these issues at Misplaced Pages talk:Categorization, here and here.

People

List of many Tolkien-related people. Some fit in more than one category, but only listed once for now, until category organisation implemented.

Family

Propose: Category:Tolkien family

Parent categories: Category:Tolkien; Category:J. R. R. Tolkien

Category would also have a link to a family page if and when it exists, or a suitable page with the family tree on it, or maybe even include the family tree. One version of the family tree is at Tolkien Estate.

Friends and Acquaintances

Incomplete list, mainly of people mentioned in Biography and Letters.

Editors, Biographers and Literary executors

Translators

Artists

Propose: Category:Tolkien artists

Parent categories: Category:Tolkien; Category:Artists

More artists could be added to this category. Issues of notability may be important here. And also what qualifies someone for this category. I would propose anyone who has published an artwork inspired by or representing a scene from Tolkien's works.

Musicians

Authors/Linguists/Researchers

Propose: Category:Tolkien scholars, researchers and authors

Parent categories: Category:Tolkien; other categories added at article level.

Producers/Actors/Directors/Adaptors

Propose: Category:Tolkien adaptors, directors and producers

Parent categories: Category:Middle-earth adaptations. This category groups together a wide range of people and companies, and so only has one parent category. Individual entries should already be categorised under their profession. Use sort keys to sort in logical groups.

Actors

- Propose to split by adaptations and/or medium.

Publishers

Propose: Category:Tolkien publishers (also to include companies)

Parent categories: Category:Tolkien; Category:Publishers

Other

Propose: Category:Tolkien

Parent categories: Category:Categories by topic or Category:Categories by person or turn into Portal:Tolkien (similar to Portal:Middle-earth).

Since this is a loose collection of wide-ranging articles connected by Tolkien, no other parent categories are needed. Specifically, this is to avoid the various articles ending up "underneath" the various parts of the tree in which "Tolkien the person" ends up (such as author, British, philologist, etc.).

Organisations

Publishers

Propose: Category:Tolkien publishers (also to include people)

Parent categories: Category:Tolkien; Category:Publishers

Film

Propose: Category:Tolkien adaptors, directors and producers

Parent categories: Category:Middle-earth adaptations. This category groups together a wide range of people and companies, and so only has one parent category. Individual entries should already be categorised in a company category. Use sort keys to sort in logical groups.

Societies

General

Mythopoeic_Awards

There are many, many other Tolkien societies worldwide.

Linguistic

Legal and commercial entities

Propose: Category:Tolkien companies

Parent categories: Category:Tolkien; Category:Legal entities

Games companies

Archives

Propose: Category:Tolkien archives

Parent categories: Category:Tolkien; Category:Archives

Ideally, the category labels will be applied to articles about the actual archives themselves, rather than the currently linked articles about the institutions that house the archives.

Tolkien Bibliography

A list of works by J. R. R. Tolkien, organised in various lists and sublists.

Academic essays, texts and translations

Communities

Mailing lists

Linguistic

Internet

Usenet

Is there anything notable here? Has a long history going back to the early 1990s.

World Wide Web

Again, to avoid belabouring the point and the masses of websites out there, probably treat this as some kind of historical discourse and merge with the Usenet article, if there is one. Make distinction between fan and commercial and official websites.

Adaptations

Note that not all the adaptations below are of Middle-earth material.

Films

Radio

One date needed here.

Musicals

The 2006 musical needs its own article.

Theatre

None found so far...

Television

  • Finnish adaptation of 'The Lord of the Rings' (1993)

Audio books

Does anyone have these audio books so they can supply the dates of publication?

  • Nicol Williamson reading of 'The Hobbit' (1974)
  • Rob Inglis reading of 'The Lord of the Rings' (1990)
  • Martin Shaw reading of 'The Silmarillion' (date needed)
  • Rob Inglis reading of 'The Hobbit' (1991)
  • Martin Shaw abridged reading of 'The Hobbit' (date needed)
  • Terry Jones reading of 'Sir Gawain and the Green Knight' (date needed)
  • Derek Jacobi reading of 'Farmer Giles of Ham and Other Stories' (including "Smith of Wootton Major" and "Leaf by Niggle"). (date needed)

Parodies

See also: Middle-earth in popular culture#Satire and parody based on The Lord of the Rings.

It would be nice to have short articles for the Silmarillion parodies. Not sure how to treat the online E-text parody.

Places

Other

The concerts featured music from the film, composed by Howard Shore. He also conducted at least some of the concerts. It would be nice to have an article on where and when they took place.

Semi-random list culled from Letters and Biography

The items on this list need to be moved to the relevant sections.
