Yes, the issues haven't been dealt with. Yes, they certainly need to be. But no, I certainly wouldn't call them the most important issues on our wiki, mainly because our wiki is relatively small (in my opinion), and because efforts doing mass categorisation could be better spent on expanding our articles and populating them with information so that they are more appealing to the public to read - and that's the primary purpose people visit a wiki, for information that is accurate and easily read.

However, as I've said - your help is most certainly appreciated - but the REASON why we want a heads up before doing similar actions is, as I've said, the potential of having done something incorrectly on a widespread wiki-wide scale. Perhaps your edits were fine this time because you were systematic and checked our policies and the names of similar categories before adding them. Perhaps you didn't. We don't know, because we don't know you. And it's because we don't know you that we can't say "I trust this editor to add the right categories" (for instance). (And as mentioned, in the future, if you wanted to add categories like so, you can ask on the bot request thread to see if it's doable by bot first, but instead allowing you to spend your time on other issues, however pressing.)
