And wouldn't there be a lot of database space taken up by redundant
categories like this? We could have articles for them, maybe, but at
this rate we'll need to start 'WikiProject WikiDbCleanup'. If there
are 12,000 categories, that has to make up a significant body of data.

Wait, isn't that encouraged? I had thought
that most categories were
supposed to categorize categories, and only the terminal categories
were supposed to have articles in them - ex. [[Category:Free

Eh? I don't recall that being required at all. Else you'll end up with
a lot of "other x" subcats.
