Don't blame us, blame Zynga for not being consistent.

I don't think we actually need to create a new Infobox or Createplate. The decoration template works for all decorations, including buildings that are only decorations. If a building is *ONLY* a decoration, then the decoration template works well.

Don't forget about the fact that Barns and Sheds usually add functionality to the storage system. Ergo, not just a decoration.

I categorize items that are in the Building tab of the market, but are not also in the Decoration tab of the market, as buildings, and use the Building createplate.

I categorize items that are in the Building and Decoration tab of the market as decorations, and use the Decoration createplate.

Those items not listed in the market, I use my best guess, based on the following categories:

Buildings

 * activity buildings (voting, carnival games, etc)
 * buildings that can be harvested for consumables/seed/currency
 * crafting buildings
 * event buildings (where you redeem prizes, e.g. Holiday Trees)
 * storage buildings (includes barns, sheds, etc)
 * animal storage buildings (including buildings that make animals)
 * crafting materials storage
 * item storage
 * basically any buildings that has a function other than "to be pretty"

Decorations

 * cannot be harvested
 * does not increase storage capacity
 * is not used for an activity (such as voting)
 * basically a building where the only function is "to be pretty"
