::I assume that, by "move into subcategories" you mean list the subcategory in the list at the bottom of the article, ''and remove the higher category''. I'm simply arguing for keeping both, for topics like physics, chemistry, and mathematics. The subcategories are still navigable, if that's the way you like to have the stuff presented. The subcategories are always listed at the top of the category page. You can click on those and explore the tree. My point is that, if you want to see the article on Maxwell's equations, you might not know how to navigate down the tree. But it will be there, under "M". You may have to scroll down a bit, but you will see it. [[User:SamHB|SamHB]] ([[User talk:SamHB|talk]]) 12:29, 8 April 2017 (EDT)

:::The problem with that, is that it is basically what TAR was doing. A page on a Glock would be in in the categories Weapons, Firearms, Survivalism, Glocks, Technology, Equipment, Firearms Glossary, and many more. Since it is a Glock, perhaps the "Glocks" category would be right. However, all of those categores do to some extent apply. It's just that everywhere you go, you find the page "glock." If we only do one or two leaf categories and a root category, it would be better. However, it still could get messy. --[[User:DavidB4|<font color="ForestGreen">David B</font>]] <sup>([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]])</sup> 14:36, 8 April 2017 (EDT)
