Can category hierarchy be adjusted?
ie, if I make a "toplevel" category, can I change it to a "sub category" sometime later?
I'm still a category newbie, so pardon my ignorance.

If a category's description page has a [[Category:]] tag on it, it will be treated as a subcategory of that category.

You just have to change the category tags on the pages is all.
If you have
Page One - [[Category: Baseball]]
and you have
Category: Baseball with a tag on the page called [[Category: Sports]]
You would then find that "Baseball" is a subcategory of "Sports".
If you wanted to change the order around, you would have to
change Page One to include [[Category: Sports]]
and changed Category: Sports to include [[Category: Baseball]]
so then "Sports" would be a subcategory of "Baseball".
