Thread:User talk:Reckless Noise Symphony/Categories/reply (9)

Alls I can say is that I remember waaaaaaay back in my early days on the Wiki, and I was told by some heavy editor that it was generally a rule that categories couldn't be redundant because they were used to "identify articles pertaining to that subject." So the article could be "biology" because it pertained to biology, and it could be "science" because it pertained to general science, too. Anyways, long story short, I've always stuck with that rule on categories 'cuz, well, it was also one of the very first things I learned about how Wikis should function.
