That does not mean that I want [[Category:Mathematics]] to consist of 15000 pages. How would that help anyone?
This seems to be an extremely widespread and popular fallacy. "/I/ can't think of any use for it, therefore we mustn't have it." Could you all please think about this for 1 second and realise that it's a total fallacy?
"No use for it" and "no help to anyone" are still different questions. We need to distinguish between the content itself and how we organise it. Huge categories are subject to the law of diminishing returns. If a Google search gives you 1,000,000 hits it doesn't help anyone to go through them all, so you develop strategies to seriously trim the results.
Being able to collapse or expand categories would be a great feature.
