Can't we all get along? That said, fuck you all. And let's categorize UnNews into their main categories too (if people must make separate cats). An UnNews about Pregnancy seems to fit into Category:Pregnancy and not just a new unnews category. Even if a subcat is present, I think it's much easier just to categorize pages into their main topics. That seems to be the way it's been done, and breaking stories down further and further only takes a searcher further from finding everything there is to find by just going to one place.

If the page fits a category, that category fits the page. Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 20:49, May 28, 2011 (UTC)

I agree, which is all I was saying. Multi-cats meow. Aleister 2:49 29-5-'11

I re-added Category:Pregnancy to that article because it will probably be featured, and featured articles should have more cats, so that the causal reader has a slightly lower chance of stumbling on utter crap when they navigate the site. --Mn-z 12:40, May 30, 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, pregnancy is fucking hilarious. --Ed Refugee 14:31, May 31, 2011 (UTC)

The reason why some topics have a separate image or unNews category is because images or unNews would overwhelm the base category. Take Category:George W. Bush for example. There are 12 pages outside of unNews that are in Category:George W. Bush while there are 193 images in Category:GWB Images and 213 unNews articles in Category:Bush UnNews (although that category may contain a few unNews about Bush other the George W). Since the categories only show 200 items per page, having images and unNews in Category:George W. Bush would it effectively hide the remaining content in clutter/information overload. --Mn-z 03:52, May 29, 2011 (UTC)

The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire. We don't need no water let the motherfucker burn. Burn motherfucker, BURN! MegaPleb • Dexter111344 • Complain here 03:55, May 29, 2011 (UTC)

I can see that in those kind of cases, and when the roof is on fire, but most categories won't be under such siege. The pregnancy one, for example, only has 12 UnNews listings, enough to fit in the original category without any problems. And remember, UnNews listings will fall at the end of the category, under "U", so if there are under, say, 25 (or 26 on a good day) it won't hurt the cat. Meow. Aleister 3:56 29-5-'11

The problem is that the categories are only going to get larger. There is no reason to merge them together only to separate them later. --Mn-z 12:53, May 29, 2011 (UTC)

The only sensible solution is to change our name to PregnancyWiki and make all pages about pregnancy from now on. -- T​K​F​​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​CK 16:53, May 29, 2011 (UTC)

Proposal to do what TKF suggested and change our name to PregnancyWiki and make all pages about pregnancy from now on
