User blog comment:ElizaCreststeel/Categories for Weapons Groups/@comment-2155069-20101205161322

Eliza, the larger weapon groups were made into a category quite some time ago. It makes it easy when someone is viewing one of the Fullmoon weapons to click on the category and see the other weapons that are in that group. The purpose shouldn't always be to exclude making categories, when making a category improves the way the wiki functions. Like with the merchants. You can look at the category tree for merchant and see the different types of merchants and then the sub-branch with the names of the merchants in that group, instead of having every name bunched together. Branching out on some categories can be a good thing.
