I still believe, however, that the entire Category system in WP has lost focus, direction, purpose - something. And that a serious overall look at it needs to happen soon.
I'm not convinced there is a non-technical solution, though. What we have at the moment doesn't work, certainly, but is there anything better?
To find out, starts with enough people - with loud enough voices - agreeing that the status quo doesn't work.
However, actually taking action here, presents to the post I made a little while ago today about WP process.
In a typical physical environment such as a workplace, an organization or some other similar setting, when a problem is recognized to exist, a process is usually in place to deal with such situations. A group, or team, of persons get together, thrash it out, and come away with suggested alternatives and solutions.
How can such a process be handled in the context of Wikipedia?
