== What we have ==
The current system is like this - it's actually twofold, but its two parts are not really separated:

By contents:
* Real World 
* Fictional 
* Novelty 
* Local

By quality:
* Featured 


== What I would like ==

I would suggest something like this, with threefold system and two levels of division:

By playability:
* Large (over 500 territories)
* Medium (100-500 territories)
* Small (below 100 territories)
* Art / Novelty ''(for ex. Duel map, Yin-Yang, etc.)''

By contents:
* Real World 
** Large scale ''(more than one country - eg., entire world, continents, or East Asia map)''
** Medium scale ''(usually just one country)''
** Small scale ''(what is now called "Local maps", possibly also maps like Reunion Island)''
* Fictional
** Classical ''(for example Middle Earth, Tamriel, The World of Warhammer - maps from well-established fantasy series)''
** Original ''(fresh creations by Warlight community members - for ex. Drakemor's world)''
* Geometric ''(hexagon or square maps - maps such as Eranis World by jacek would be included, but could be present in other categories as well, in this case Fantasy / Original)''
* Art / Novelty ''(this would be synonymous with Art / Novelty category above)''

By quality:
* Featured ''(I'd expand this category to about 10-15 maps, maybe)''
* Great ''(maps which are stable, balanced and conform to all guidelines, including nitpicks like overlaying bonus borders)''
* Other ''(unrated or sucks ;), but the map is grandfathered or we don't want to be harsh to mappers)''

This way, every category would have a sane number of maps and stuff would be easy to find.
