			:Actually, I'm looking more for your advise and approval here. You're more in tune to this stuff. You've been heavily involved in it taking form and know the history. I looking at it more holistically, at a site level. I just wanted symmetry going down the hero and villain side more. That goes back to a comment I made on the Team's discussion page when I brought this site back online. I think with the couple of minor adds I just made, which have the 'hero teams' as a sub categories of heroes and the same for villains, it achieves that. And you can still get to them from the teams category symmetrically as well. Let me what you think here

			:I am fine with more sub groups springing off if from the main team category if we need them. Maybe we have enough unique pages to warrant a ''Citizen of Monstro City'' linkage, but then I wonder how that is different from affiliation lists. It gets messy and there are things we can do with page property attributes. We are barely scratching the surface there. If we exploit those more, we can derive interesting collection pages using sub-queries.

			:If I had a few more lifetimes and 48 hours days more stuff could be implemented ...

	Would Groups sound better than Teams for the category title? Do you want the Civilian Groups removed individually and as a subcategory from the Civilians page too?		Would Groups sound better than Teams for the category title? Or does their need to be team category? To keep from the fragmenting, use the current three groups and just list them as subcategories on the Heroes and Villians like the Villain Groups was?

			Do you want the Civilian Groups removed individually and as a subcategory from the Civilians page too?

	:Anyway, moving from general to this specific entry; I put Monstro City Troops in both Team Categories. Over the history of Astro City, their relationship has shifted and bent. Things are not all black and white, they are like shifting allegiances between nations, changing to suit the needs of the moment and the goals of the players.

			I think it's just the OCD organization in me, where if something isn't on a category list someone might not see something neat if they're scrolling through categories or subcategories...

			And I think some of it is just the nature and uniqueness of this series, where we get things like an average "monster" who isn't a bad guy or a hero, he's just...normal when you get a perspective of him...Monstro Citizens?

			Would Groups sound better than Teams for the category title?

	Aliens just doesn't seem right to me though. While they are monster and creature like they're from Earth and this dimension. Kind of why I had Bertros as a Civilian. While he's not a human, he's a civilian in Monstro City. Maybe we need an Other Category for in betweeners and one's that don't fit elsewhere. Like Stockton and Moreton. But that might cover too much from the Unknown Alignment category...		Aliens just doesn't seem right to me though. While they are monster and creature like they're from Earth and this dimension.
