In general, what is the minimum number of items required to make it suitable to create a new Topic? (Assuming an adequate, more general Topic already exists.)
Имплементирано
1 May, 19:52

For cars/planes/ships it should be the family of the object. Thus in theory 1 kit in the topic can be fine.
We should also not create "bundled/generic" topics if not needed.
Not "Deutz tractors" (too broad) but the actual family/series should be the topic. If there is only 1 object it is still OK for the topic to be there
Not "Star Wars" for every thing linked to "Star wars", but the actual "type" of object
For accessories/non typed objects like buildings/trees/bridges/telepone poles/.... we can keep them in the same "generic topic"
If it warrants splitting/merging = debatable 🙂
(We once had a single topic for everything which was a building. Watertowers/houses/factories)... as more data comes in = we split/merge/....
2 May, 05:54

eg. This topic is too broad and should be split (if possible) into the individual families of vehicles they produced. Not easy when the product title does not provide that info. (and these catch all topics are created = ok, but ideally are cleaned up)
RWM Topic: Magirus
2 May, 06:03

eg. yesterday I created several new topics and removed items from the generic catch all RWM Topic: Railroad coaches and created named topics for several identifiable families of the same "type/brand"
RWM Topic: Eurofima, RWM Topic: Passenger coach EW IV and more
2 May, 06:09

Can you please change the name of this Topic to "Deutz Tractors" and move it from "Utility" to "Farm Tractors"?
RWM Topic: Deutz
RWM Topic: Deutz

This topic is an example of being too broad. (see discussions/questions earlier)
I split it into RWM Topic: Deutz D 6206 and RWM Topic: Deutz D 30

This Topic can be removed; no idea what was intended to go here originally:

RWM Topic: Railway Fun

Yes, I saw that, but still wondered what made it "fun". Guess it's because I'm not Japanese ... Or because I'm an old grouch, who knows.

RWM Brand: Lionel Trains 
has almost exclusively completed models in their range, but a large portion of the items in Railwaymates are listed as kits. Making a bulk change of all Full Kits to Completed Models will certainly improve the correctness in a major way.
I don't know what you prefer to class railway tracks as, though.

Man, trying to straighten up the railway models is a real uphill struggle. I guess a lot have been added by data files from other data bases and therefore have poor data field fits. I note that some 26 % lack Topics ...
I'm also consistently the only one shown as being online, so it seems other contributors are thin on the ground.

Yes, I noticed some items were just - poof! - gone when I tried to access them. Still much to sort out with this brand, though. Probably needs a proper session looking at their catalogue, but that's for some other day.

There are a slew of items misclassified as Trident jets because of the brand name:
RWM Topic: Hawker Siddeley Trident
Many are hard to immediately class correctly. Might be best to move them all to Uncategorised as a temporary measure.

I suggest a general "Britification" in the overall terminology in railwaymates, seeing as it is a European site originally. Specifically, all Topics that have "railroad" in their primary name should have this changed to "railway", for consistency. "Railroad" could still be used in the synonym names.
An exception might be made for any Topics specifically intended for American subjects, but I understand you are rather moving away from that.

The Topic "Railway"
RWM Topic: Railway
is currently under Trains » Freight wagons but is used as a catch-all for railway stuff. Such a topic is needed but should not be under "Freight Wagons", especially since one can't see the category when selecting the Topic. It would be better if it came directly under Trains.

Ideally these catch all topics are empty (and deleted)

But if it is not entirely cleaned, it starts to grow again 😥
29 April, 17:10

Well, some sort of catch-all is needed for all the bits and bobs connected to railways: I think that is unavoidable. But it needs periodic cleaning up, I guess. I just went through the Railway topic and reassigned about half the items. Many of the remaining ones should be moved as well but it is not always easy to figure out where they should go.

Still semi manual but it goes faster than 100% manual. Especially for lesser known/popular topics.

A great many Vollmer brand items (989, to be exact) are currently shown as "Completed models", despite Vollmer having very few such items in their catalogue. Presumably this is due to some past bulk upload.
If you are able to make bulk changes, you could change any Vollmer brand item that has a 5-digit item number starting 42***, 43***, 44***, 45***, 47*** or 49*** and currently with Product type "Completed models" and change these to "Full kit".
Those with numbers 46*** and 48*** and shown as "Completed models" can be changed to "Materials".
A very small number of items will be incorrectly classed this way but they are already incorrect, anyway.
You can check for yourself in their catalogue:
