−	A list of facets that ~~all titles should~~ have ~~defined:~~	+	<h2>Overview</h2>
		+	To build a new classification structure, you need to define all the facets of what you're trying to classify. Currently for video games, this is primarily the "category", which often combines multiple facets into a broad subject (ie, "First Person Shooter" combines the style of gameplay (shooter) with the perspective (first person); "Real Time Strategy" combines the play style (strategy) with the pace of play (real time); etc. So, first step is to define the list of facets that make up a game title, and then define values for each one. Once this is complete congratulations--you have a multi-faceted taxonomy!
