-Pick one over-arching topic for your wiki.  If it is not already a category, make a [[SuggestedCategory]] and see if anyone can point you to a similar topic already in use, or it will be ok'ed to create a new topic.
+This category is for wikis which are on a topic which isn't a [[:Category:Wiki Topic|topic category]] yet.
-Here is the list:  [[Wiki Topic]]
+As a general housekeeping task, we need to look through these wikis and decide what to do. In each case we can take one of the following actions:
+* '''Identify a suitable category.''' - Maybe there is one, it was just missed before, or maybe it has been created since.
+* '''Identify a wider scope category''' - Topic categories can be quite general, so it may be that there is a more general (wider scoped) category. E.g. KayakWiki belongs in [[:Category:Sport]], even though it's not about sports, it's about one sport in particular.
+* '''Create a new topic category''' - Add a [[Suggested Category]], and if it is suitable, we can go ahead and create it.
+By doing this, we should aim to steadily reduce this list, although it also useful to add wikis to this list, in cases where a topic category needs to be identified.
