Thinking for the future IMHO there are three aspects that have to be treated and handled separately: - Category structure issues (including category "attributes") - Category naming issues - Searching and tagging issues A cat has a name but in fact there is no need that it has one. A cat has to be identified by its ID only. And all category "names" should be "name aliases" of that ID as a 1-N relation. So we'd get rid of these never ending back-breaking discussions. - English or a different language? No matter, some more aliases - AE vs BE? So what, one more alias - Singular vs plural? No problem, one more alias - Serbian vs Albanian or Russian vs Ukrainian (and so on) name? No problem, one more alias - Real name or artist's name of a person? One more alias - Cat names ASCII plus diacrits? No need, even Japanese or Korean or Hindi aliases - Category redirects? Ridiculous, no longer needed And the user had the chance to see not "the" cat name on top of the page but the name aliases of his two or three favorite languages. Of course maintaining the whole thing is not easy for the tree's structure is made up by ID pointers only, so special maintenance UIs will be needed.
