Hi, Nino,

My impression is, that overloading a category impairs its functionality.
A Category can be a good instrument for getting an overview but if its
contents is scattered through several pages, the overview is lost -
which is the case with the Documentation Category at the moment.
Please consider consequences before moving thousands of pages into one
category, particularly if it's a "main" category like Documentation.
A good number is about +/- 100, I think. If a category has significantly
more pages or subcategories, it starts to get confusing and - at least
in my opinion - further granularization is needed.

You are, of course, quite right; but this is IMHO a temporary step in
the process of getting better organized. For instance, look at the
number of pages in Cat:Doc whose page names begin with Doc/HowTos/Calc.
They clearly belong in the sub-category of the same name. Unless I'm
very mistaken, Clayton intends to use a bot to do that, and to do
similar things.
Once he has done that, the rest of us can help with the individual pages
that are left over. Personally, I suggest that Cat:Doc should not have
any pages in it at all, only sub-categories. And, we need to decide how
to categorize the translations.
We will probably end up with a large Help:Doc/Categories page,
explaining how we want to do things.
Sounds like great fun, to me! :-)
