Eliza, what is it that you have against categories? Trimming a plant is one thing, but you don't hack off all the twigs to prevent it from growing.

I was under the impression that your idea of limiting categories was to avoid unnecessary/pointless categories, but it appears you'd rather not add any categories at all. In this case the categories much improves the layout and navigation of the weapon group project. You are also not presenting any actual argument in your blog as to why having these categories is negative, other than them being categories.

On the subject of discussion, the project was started and engineered in July-August, and mostly completed over a month or so. We asked for feedback many times, and there hasn't been a single complaint on any aspect of the new system. It is not anyone's job to inform you about what's going on, it is your job to keep yourself updated and involved in aspects of the wiki that you find interesting/important. I find it hard to imagine that you haven't bumped into any evidence of it in that time, considering that around 70% of all weapons are part of a weapon group, and quite a lot of those are in an overarching group.
