Category talk:Video Game Stages

Category Terms and Language
On the use of should: I reacted to the change from the longstanding absence from those descriptions without recognizing that most of our newer/updated categories in fact use the term. DoomBowser also brought up a good point " I thought 'should' was our insurance policy, in case an article placed in a category shouldn't be there (e.g. a sonic character in the Super Mario Characters category)". I was simply mistaken on making such "corrections". On those grounds it seems that the word should is appropriate after all. I have no further thoughts about it.

Originate vs Ripped: While they don't have to describe two different things entirely, most of the video game stages were ripped directly. We are in effect saying two different things by choosing one term over the other. I'm wondering if we should keep it 'as is' since originate is the more encompassing term, and/or should we make a separate category to specify which stages were ripped. Any thoughts? The only other way these differences are identified is by the presence or absence of the "Original Stages" category. If the presence/absence of this secondary category (in this context) is not the determining factor, this category should just say ripped. If I'm not making perfect sense and/or not being totally clear, is it at least apparent that there's a small categorical issue here?
