As mentioned by Sega381 on Talk:Tokuno_Islands, it may be a good idea to include Serpent Isle and Pagan in this Category, and have this be a inclusive group. The text could be: "Beyond the world of Britannia lie many other worlds, all linked together in a vast cosmology. Throughout the ages, visitors traveled between these worlds. The Avatar has visited several of these, and many Britannian heroes hail from beyond her borders." -- Browncoat Jayson 15:47, August 13, 2010 (UTC)

Is anyone against this? I've seen that recently Earth, Eodon and Mars were removed from the "Other Worlds" category, maybe to leave the category only for worlds where no Ultima game takes place. But all the worlds from Ultima Underworld II would have to be removed then, too, leaving only a handful of worlds in this category. I think that the simplest way is to change the "Other Worlds" category to "Worlds", and list all the worlds in that category. I find it natural to need a category that encompasses all the different worlds. MAYBE a subcategory could be worlds where Ultimas take place, and another would be referenced-only worlds (which then could be "Other Worlds"). But leaving all those worlds outside a common category makes no sense ot me.--Sega381 00:48, August 14, 2010 (UTC)
Or, let me put in another way: we could have a "Worlds" category, composed of a "Other Worlds" category and a "Main Worlds" (I'm not sure of the name) category. The worlds where no action takes place would fall under the "Other Worlds", and any world vistied in an Ultima would be in the "Main Worlds" category. Both categories would be in the "Worlds" category, thus making a lot more of sense.--Sega381 00:51, August 14, 2010 (UTC)
However, that would leave only TWO worlds, or maybe three, in the "Other Worlds" category, rendering it pretty useless. So: either all worlds go into the same category and it's renamed to "Worlds", or another division is made, according to the level of detail the worlds have. However, I think doing a division on those lines would be very difficult and subjective.
As no one has spoken here on the subject, I'll start by changing the category to "Worlds". If someone disagrees, we can eventually change it to what we agree on.--Sega381 01:44, August 20, 2010 (UTC)
