	I also want to know where Magic Set Editor and TeXnicard file formats belong. These are programs used for making cards for card games such as Magic: the Gathering and others. Both programs can create a database of cards, export them to various formats, render the cards, and make statistics based on the cards, although their capabilities otherwise differ in many ways, and their file formats are also very different (and incompatible with each other, although it might be possible to use import/export templates in TeXnicard to convert from/to MSE format). --[[User:Zzo38\|Zzo38]] ([[User talk:Zzo38\|talk]]) 08:09, 19 January 2020 (UTC)		I also want to know where Magic Set Editor and TeXnicard file formats belong.

 I'm not sure where Resource Fork belongs; it's a platform-specific Mac thing, but is there some more general category it can be put in? It's kind of related to filesystems, so does it belong somewhere in that hierarchy? As for Binary Data, those can probably be moved to the specific category they belong in based on their function, like, is Multiplan a spreadsheet or something?
