Though I don't support deleting useful content, I find that, in my effort to make categories more structured and less cluttered, I have also been depopulating [[:Category:Characters]], putting articles in relevant subcategories instead. I now wonder if this was the right thing to do. I read that the category intended to have all characters listed both in the root and in subcategories, but this makes for a very large and cluttered category. Should it be so-populated anyway? Another possibility is to set up a parallel page called [[List of characters]] or something, or to break the category into Character subcategories. Either way, I simply was not prepared to deal with such a monolithic category, and I'm still not, and I fear I may have damaged it. - [[User:Gilgamesh|Gilgamesh]] 15:15, 11 February 2010 (UTC) | Though I don't support deleting useful content, I find that, in my effort to make categories more structured and less cluttered, I have also been depopulating [[:Category:Characters]], putting articles in relevant subcategories instead.

I think it's a good idea to break it up, but shouldn't the sub-categories be different, such as organized by book, race, or dominion? --{{User:Breragor/sig}} 18:29, 11 February 2010 (UTC) | |||

Though I don't support deleting useful content, I find that, in my effort to make categories more structured and less cluttered, I have also been depopulating Category:Characters, putting articles in relevant subcategories instead. I now wonder if this was the right thing to do. I read that the category intended to have all characters listed both in the root and in subcategories, but this makes for a very large and cluttered category. Should it be so-populated anyway? Another possibility is to set up a parallel page called List of characters or something, or to break the category into Character subcategories. Either way, I simply was not prepared to deal with such a monolithic category, and I'm still not, and I fear I may have damaged it. - Gilgamesh 15:15, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
