Sorry, but making categories are reserved for such things as directors and film genres. A better solution is to perhaps create a table like the ones seen on actor pages.

The HISHE website is not allowed as we don't allow webshows. We only allow movies, television shows, video games, anime, and any other animated series where 99% of the guns can have a positive ID. Plus most of the guns in the show looked like rectangles with triggers. User:1morey September 25, 2011 4:57 PM (EST)
Ok sorry. I just thought I would add it because it deals with movies and videogames.
Adding comments
Please refer to the Rules, Standards and Principles page regarding adding commentary to movie pages. Commentary regarding plot and vaguely firearms-related should be kept at a minimum. --Ben41 19:29, 25 September 2011 (CDT)
k sorry. I'm new to imfdb. i'm learning as i go
- To get you started, you use correct grammar when you edit on a page and reply on people's talk page, not yours as we might not know that you replied. To sign your comment, observe the image below - Kenny99 19:55, 25 September 2011 (CDT).
- Yes. You are on the right track by the way. - Kenny99 21:05, 26 September 2011 (CDT)

The Bourne Conspiracy
Do you planning on coming back to finish this page? Right now, there are no pictures of the weapons used or screenshots from the game. In the condition it is now, it will be soon be slated for deletion. --Ben41 23:39, 28 September 2011 (CDT)

Adding Comments Part 2
Once again, take a look at the Rules and Standards page, namely the section regarding insulting or sarcastic commentary. --Ben41 20:43, 14 November 2011 (CST)
Adding Comments Part 3 and making pages
In response to your questions:
1. On the Licence to Kill page, when an admin does a rollback on edit, all of the previous user's edits are reverted back.
2. Before creating a page, it's best to have at least some gun images ready if you can't have the screenshots yet. If you're coming back to work on the page like Archangel or the Bourne Conspiracy, you need to place a {{workinprogress}} banner at the top of the page to let others know that the page isn't done yet. Right now, that page is not up to the minimum standards because there are no gun images underneath the weapons identified and at least a poster or DVD cover could be put up. The Bourne Conspiracy was deleted because there was no work on this for quite some time and there was no indication that anyone was coming back to it. It can be restored only if you have screenshots ready.
If you're having trouble getting screenshots, you may want to check my user page to see how I capture screenshots.
Also, please STOP adding comments to pages (especially James Bond pages) that are only plot-related and have little to do with firearms. A lot of users are getting tired of having to change back a lot of your comments. --Ben41 17:39, 18 November 2011 (CST)

Archangel
Since no work has been done on your page for Archangel in 6 months, the page will be deleted. If you plan on screen capping the movie, let me or another admin know and we will restore the page. --Zackmann08 12:19, 1 July 2012 (CDT)
