To be honest, I am not entirely sure what I want to do here. So let me explain it the best I can. I have a collection of information I want to get into Drupal that can be reviewed. I have a writing website. Here I post a lot of content (blog posts, novels, short stories and other material. However, one of the types of content I want to put on the site, I can't decide the best way to get it into the site.
I have a world that I have developed (a few actually). The world is a collection of information I have compiled in One Note describing the entire world and all it's information. I list out the types of races, their strengths/weaknesses, stuff about their military, politics, technology, as well as a lot of other information about the world/universe as a whole. I want to figure out the best way to get this information into Drupal. The old fashioned way is to create 1 new page for each page I have. However, I want to keep them organized. Perhaps figure out how to make them all similar.
So basically I want to create all the pages I need or do whatever I need, but have a way of distinguishing what pages are what. So should I create a custom content type called the name of my unverse so I have a detailed way of keeping them all organized? I was thinking of setting that section up as a wiki so only I can edit that, but I wanted something a little simpler. I have directory listings of information too...like I have a list of galaxies, in each galaxy I have a list of clusters, in each cluster I have a list of planets, in each planet I have a list of all planetary information and other details. This kind of information I want to keep organized in kind of like a directory structure of some sort. That's not all, in another area I have a list of races, then they have information regarding military, legal, political and other aspects of that race. I want to keep them all together and organized in a similar tree type structure.
Can someone give me a good idea on the best way to do this, and structure this. Maybe a content type out there that I do not know of, or the best way to approach this entire situation. Thanks again.

If I follow what you said, it
If I follow what you said, it sounds like you want multiple content types, at least one for "world" and another for "race". Each thing that is a content type can then been listed separately using views. You can relate content using a node reference field. It also sounds like the Node Relationships module would be useful. By adding a node reference field in world to content of type 'race' and allowing for multiple values with node relationship you can configure the field so you can add and edit races right from the "world" form.
