Thoughts On Categories
Trimming them down
Gads, there are way to many categories for most of the articles and many of them either don't make sense or are too broad.
Possible Solutions
- Ability to "Delete a worthless category" - which would delete all instances of a worthless category
- Ability to "Rename a category" - which would rename all instances of a category to another name
- For user created categories this may not always be what we want to do. i.e. if there are two categories that mean basically the same thing like "Table Tennis" and "Ping Pong", it may be fine to let them both exist because that will continue to match the folksonomy that people have created. Where this utility may be useful is in renaming some of the major categories that were prepopulated to categories that are more wiki-ish.
