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.
