Perhaps the usefulness of portals and categories

For example, but unrealistic in the short term, clicking to a

You could just put {{Portal:{{PAGENAME}} }} at the top of the category
page, although I appreciate how difficult it is to change the relevant
policy.
I came to the conclusion many years ago that the easiest way to make a
policy change on Wikipedia is to spend 6 months writing and deploying
software that requires or implements the change. It's a lot easier to
get a majority in a software deployment vote than it is to build
consensus behind an editorial policy.
Not really. Two sofwareside attempts on Finnish Wikipedia crashed and burned,
despite me trying to nurse them along.
