You're absolutely correct. I did request input, however, when I said I was okay with selectively removing primary categories what I was thinking about was removing Music from Related Media. I then thought about it and suggested turning Music into a Primary Category because of its complexity. I still think that's a good idea seeing how many wikis do just that. I didn't foresee the elimination process going beyond that. Moreover, we've been discussing this project for weeks, yet this is the first time these issues are arising. It surprised me, frankly, that this all came up as it did.

I do suggest eliminating Community altogether since Blog Posts are like Message Walls - well understood by users. Table of Contents and Administrative Messages are better placed under Organization, I think. That should take care of that whole unit.

Otoh, I would like Related Media to stay with its subcats. Same for Places & Things. Basically, unless adding the primary category unduly burdens a page with an excess of categories, which is unlikely, they belong on the page. That is why they were created. That is their purpose: search optimization and wiki organization. And considering that this wiki has never used a category tree, it's important to see how this one operates IRL before eliminating parts of it.

I think everyone here has good intentions and wiki philosophy is "assume good faith." Yuji, your reasoning is well-phrased, sensible and possibly the best way to go. I would, however, request that differing opinions not be deemed "illogical" or "counterproductive." If, in practice, the resulting pages look unseemly or cluttered, we can amend things. A wiki is always a WIP.

I'm just requesting that we not "hem the dress" before trying it on. I believe it's a fair request.
