A question I've asked a million things, then how
do you categorize things
that come in already created categories that have more than 50 members? For
example, plant families can't be categories, because there are too many with
over 50 members, horticultural varieties of a specific species cannot be
categories because you can't have more than 50ish members, the
"substantially useful" size of a category. Varieties of sage should be
broken up precisely how to conform to the category scheme, and doesn't this
wind up being original research when dealing with organism categories?
50 members is not a hard limit, just like 32kb is not a hard limit on
article size. If there's a large category that cannot be reasonably
subdivided, then it cannot be subdivided and that's that. A very large
category is still more useful than one that's been arbitrarily split up
or that doesn't exist at all.
In the case of plant families, though, I don't see why they can't be
divided into genera subcategories should the need arise.
