I Came Here from the Victorious wiki :

Why do you add insane amounts of categories to the pages?

If a page is in EVERY category, it doesn't make sense to have categories at all. The categories are supposed to make the wiki structured so people can use them to search for stuff here.

We have a limit of seven categories per page, but we only really need four or less.

It also isn't necessary to add a category for everything that is on a page (for example, adding "images" to the shipping pages just because there are pictures on it; or adding categories like "Pairings" to Episode pages).

If you add categories, please think twice if the category you want to add is really necessary to DEFINE the article.

Category:Characters: Only characters go in this category, not pairings or galleries.

Category:Episodes: Only episodes in this category. No galleries.

Category:Actors/Cast: Same thing.

Category:Pairings: While this is not a dropdown category, do not add characters or episodes to this category.

The reason i want people doing this is to make navigation much easier for visitors, who may be put off by a disorganised wiki. The number one complaint of new wiki editors is a lack of not being able to find things.
