I was thinking that people would edit the category on Wikipedia (they could manually choose their blocking settings, protected by a seperate password for parents) and edupedia would have the categories all blocked by default (unless the categories included unobjectionable material) with no changing of this with accounts. The categories could only be edited on Wikiedia, not edupedia, so no permissions would be required.
The value of having categories on Edupedia itself is that the Edupedia project might make judgements that Wikipedia itself cannot (such as what is "mature content"). Also, the Sifter paradigm allows referring to specific versions in the history of a Wikipedia article; Edupedia might assign different versions to different categories while Wikipedia probably would not.
