Hi, it's great that you are editing and adding information to the pages, but please be careful with the categories. The old wisdom 'when in doubt, leave it out' applies to them as well. They work as a way to create a list which contains all of the relevant pages for certain topic. If lots of pages are added to a category, the list becomes cluttered and loses its purpose.

For example, the horse categories (fantasy horse, constellation, elite, etc) are meant to contain only horse pages and nothing else. That way if someone wants to quickly see the overview of all constellation horses, that list will show them precisely those. If every page that mentions constellation horses is added to the category, the category list will become useless.

The difference between database and game mechanics is a bit more muddled. Database is what the name implies - pages that contain a lot of data on a subject, such as the skill chart. Game mechanics is more about things that can be done and interacted with in the game, such as the buildings and events. If you are not sure which one to use, don't use anything. Someone else can then add a category if necessary. The old pages are categorised quite consistently already, so mostly the need to add a category applies to new pages or in situations in which a new category is created.

Nobody likes to go around undoing other people's edits or editing things right after them to maintain consistency with the way the wiki is built, so it's nicer for everybody if there is no need to do that. :)
