If one keeps unwanted categories as commented redirects and adds [[:Category:Unwanted Categories]] to them, this would create a handy instrument for maintenance. But if one deletes unwanted categories, that would delete all knowledge/experience that led to the decision of this category to be unwanted. the wiki would not grow in experience. This would be another step towards a Sisyphean task.[[User_talk:Manorainjan|'''<span style="color: orange;">Manorainjan</span>''']] 13:20, 21 June 2015 (PDT) | If one keeps unwanted categories as commented redirects and adds [[:Category:Unwanted Categories]] to them, this would create a handy instrument for maintenance.

:'''Unused categories''' Do you know of any other wikis which keep an indefinitely large number of categories as redirects simply because they could be used? Should we have [[:Category:Castellano]] and [[:Category:Espanhol]] and [[:Category:Espangol]] and [[:Category:The language of Cervantes]] as well?

Our Wiki is different from all the other wikis. It is the wiki of wikis. At least it wants to be ... ;-) This being different results in many IP-editors for example. Otherwise, we would have a user account for every wiki page, because each and every admin of a wiki would have to create an account for maintaining "his" page on "our" wiki. Certainly the handful of regular users don't want to and are completely unable to teach 20.ooo Users how to edit those pages. Whereas I see another opportunity to remind, that we are keeping about 4% of the [[Wikisphere]] only with our "few" pages here. At other occasions I got hars responses telling, that his Wiki is NOT Wikipedia and I shall not try to introduce/request/expect/impose wikipedian style here. We got to learn from other wikis, if not we want to invent the wheel over and again with our extremely limited personal resources. Therefore I reject the insinuation, that my idea would be bad only because I would no know any other wiki who does similar. I'm saying this in general, like also for the next topic "unwarranted deletion of user pages". Such an insinuation can not count as an argument at all.
