It's come to my attention that a lot of people don't understand what subcategorization is, or just don't bother to do it. We did make an active effort in the past to subcategorize most of the wiki, so going back on it now is not an option.

For those who actually don't know, it's rather simple. Let's just say there's a general category, like "Fakegees". Many characters are Fakegees, but some of them are also "Powerful Fakegees". (This category is just an example)

Now, it could make sense that the category "Fakegees" should have EVERY Fakegee on it, but it would be easier for navigation if it only contained Fakegees that weren't in a subcategory. That way, people trying to navigate the subcategories don't run into the same pages repeatedly, and it would be easier for someone to find whatever they need.

With that said, hopefully you can all understand why subcategorization is important for this place. As for the other topic...

There are gonna be some important category changes. Some categories will get removed, others simply replaced, and others reused. Here are the highlights:


 * Categories like "Powerful Weegees" and "Powerful Non-Weegees" are gonna be merged into "Powerful Characters." While it may have made sense in the past to have two categories, it's more of a pain now. This will happen with a lot of categories that are species-specific like that, such as "Weegee Gods" (though that category will just be deleted).


 * A lot of...weird categories like "Evilgees" and "MOAR Ranked Weegees" are gonna be changed for sure. I'll try to post changes as they happen.
