CfD. Someone
nominated a bunch of categories that people were using on their

times why the pages are harmful, but people seem less interested in
discussion when they're already winning the vote, and simply say that
userpage organization "isn't what categories are for".
I can understand their argument. Could it be solved by two category
systems in separate namespaces. One would pretty well function like the
present categories to provide a topical index for articles. The new one
could be used for the administrative interests of people who do a lot of
editing. Administrative categories (or whatever we choose to call them)
could be deleted for lack of interest in much the same way that sysops
can be removed from the list when they have been absent for an extended
time.
