The Big Categorization Derpup

Vultraz July 15, 2012 User blog:Vultraz

So, as I was scouring the wiki for more pages to add -a few- more words to, I came across the sudden realization that the category system was in fact scarcely used on this wiki, and when it was, in fact, used, most of the time it was either to add pages to "Candidates for deletion" or "Candidates for merging" - and all other times, there were categories created specifically to facilitate a particular page, and after this the categories were all forgotten and gone, and pretty much as good as nonexistent. Trust me, if you go here you'll just see the entire array of categories that were created to house maybe one or two articles, and then forgotten and gone. There are too many of these and they need to be cleaned up - in my opinion, only admins and moderators should have the ability to create categories, and these categories should be neat and generic, and each category should house articles related to that category. This way, ROBLOX Wiki editors would have an easier time looking for an article about a Horror-themed place, or, say, looking for articles that require a photo or simply rewriting. In addition, classifying articles by category should, I feel, be made mandatory for ROBLOX Wiki editors. So that's my opinion, but I would certainly like to hear yours on this subject. Are the categories so in disarray that we must fix them? Should we make article classification mandatory? Should only moderators and admins have the permission to create categories?
