SW8573 wrote: I know that categories are good for categorisation, but (e.g.) looking at the MOAB page, it has too many categories (three rows), despite all of them being relevant. I would like to propose that in the future, categories for new games should only be added to the pages that are exclusive. For example, in cases like BTD4 and BTD4E, the BTD4E category should only be added to whatever is exclusive to BTD4E (e.g. Sandy Spiral, etc.) The same goes for BTD5D/B/iOS, etc. I fully agree.

SW8573 wrote: A second reason why I'm thinking of this change is: if people come to the wiki looking for BTD5D (or BTD5B/iOS) exclusive content, they would see a whole list of upgrades and towers that are normally in BTD5. Yes, this is right. However, they would have to literally look through all the pages in that category to find what they are looking for. I fully agree.

SW8573 wrote: However, I also think that this may not be a good solution from other points of view. For example, people could become confused, that a particular category exists on the BFB page but not the MOAB page, they might think that MOABs are not in that game while BFBs are, etc. I fully agree.

After a few months, the system of categories starts to be cluttered again, and it really needs a change. All proposals mentioned by SW8573 here are a good way how to adjust the current system.
