User blog:EvilShogun/Categories: MASSIVE OVERHAUL

As some of you more dedicated editors may be aware, the categories on this wiki are a complete mess. This blog is just a place for me to collect my thoughts about the direction I want the categories to go and provide instuction for people helping me with this huge mess. Please don't work on the categories without first contacting me. I want to coordinate this project so that the number of problems that come up can be kept at a minimum.

How to Delete Categories (Taken from Here )

 * To delete a category, first remove the category tag from all pages in the category.
 * An admin can then delete any content on the category page itself by using the "Delete" option in the Edit menu dropdown, the same way a regular page is deleted.
 * A category page that has not been created will display "This page needs content. You can help by adding a sentence or a photo!". In this case, the category can be deleted simply by removing it from all pages it was on. The category will then no longer appear in the list of categories (Special:Categories) and is fully deleted.

Key:

TBD - To be determined (Don't mess with this category for now)

TBA - To be added (Category that needs to be created by me)

Removal - Remove this as a category for all pages associated with the category (Don't remove subcategories)

Revision - All pages in this category need to be checked for proper categorization

Heavy Revision - Same as revision but indicates a category with a large amount of  pages. (15+ pages)

Delete - Indicates a category that has all pages removed and needs to be deleted by me

Done - Indicates a category that is good to go (safe to add RELEVANT pages to it)

!Done! - Note to me that the category needs to be properly set up as a subcatagory

Don't Touch - Should be self explanitory

Don't Touch - Touch this and bad things will happen to you

Bolded categories are ones that you do not touch either.
