project pages[edit]

Wikipedia:Categories, lists, and navigational templates

unclear
"Exceptions should also be considered when the article subject has a relevance to the parent category that is not expressed by the subcategory's definition. For instance, if Category:Guillotined French Revolution figures was the only subcategory of Category:French Revolution figures, it would not make sense to remove major figures of the French Revolution solely because of the means of their death."
error
"Multi-directional navigation. A category can contain multiple subcategories, and can also be part of several categories. Categories are organized within Wikipedia into a web of knowledge starting with Category:Categories."
Shouldn't that last link be to Category:Contents, Category:Articles, or Category:Fundamental?
"They cannot be organized into sections and subsections on a single page, each with its own descriptive introduction."
"Categories give no context for any specific entry, nor any elaboration; only the name of the article is given. That is, listings cannot be annotated (with descriptions nor comments), nor referenced."
style
advantages and disadvantages: beginnings = noun phrases, full sentences, subjectless sentences
