Creation of new sub-categories

I was thinking of creating new sub-categories for taunts. They would be:

Of course, the names are just provisory, but that's the idea. Some taunts would fit in multiple categories. What do you think? — Tiagoquix (talk) 23:18, 13 December 2025 (UTC)

I think it would be fine, but not sure how this category would be placed on articles because I'm not sure that manual is the way.

We could add a new entry in the infobox after "Slot:". The entry would be "Type:". — Tiagoquix (talk) 16:09, 14 December 2025 (UTC)
That would essentially still be manually adding it and wouldn't support multiple ones, maybe something like infobox params like looping = no and partner = yes? Though I think the Mannrobics would be classified as a 'group taunt' and not an all-partner taunt.

I think that, irrespectively of what categories we create, some taunts will inevitably fall into more than one category. For example, Mannrobics would be a "Loopable all-partner dancing taunt" (assuming we want to describe what the taunt does as well), whereas Texas Truckin' would be a "Loopable moving vehicle solo taunt". — Tiagoquix (talk) 16:34, 14 December 2025 (UTC)
Your idea of partner and looping parameters are good. I think we could take that and also add something like "short-description =" where it would be manual (e.g. Texas Truckin' would have "moving vehicle" as short description). But not sure if it would be that necessary.
For looping, we have =yes or =no, and for partner we would have =no, =yes, =group (group being all-partner). — Tiagoquix (talk) 16:37, 14 December 2025 (UTC)
To clarify, I'm fine with using the term "group taunt" rather than "all-partner taunt". It was just a draft from my part to explain the idea. I think the infobox part draft is done, now we need to figure out how to sort that into sub-categories. — Tiagoquix (talk) 16:39, 14 December 2025 (UTC)
Tark suggested we use something similar to {{Is Casual map}}.

How is that templated used? I have never seen it. Is it visible to wiki readers somehow? — Tiagoquix (talk) 18:23, 14 December 2025 (UTC)

──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── It's on {{Map infobox}} and only adds categories.

I believe adding info to both infoboxes and categories would be the correct move here. Initially my idea was only categories, but now I think adding to both is better. — Tiagoquix (talk) 18:51, 14 December 2025 (UTC)
This kind of stuff is generally already described in the main, which is where more specifics of the taunt should be. We'll only add categories here, really.

Alright, can you give me an example of how can we start doing {{Is Casual map}} for taunts? — Tiagoquix (talk) 19:39, 14 December 2025 (UTC)
