Yes, that's what YOU would have thought, and what I would have thought. But someone who wants to put Category:Beatles in Category:British rockbands is going to think differently. And act in that way. And we can say "you should not put categories about rock bands in here", but that's just the same argument that we previously had about [[Category:The Beatles]]. There's nothing won by putting such a text on the category page, because someone who is of the opinion that [[Category:The Beatles]] should be in, is just going to put a text there so that it can go in, and someone who is of the opinion that it should not be in, is going to put a text there so that it cannot go in. Only difference is the place where you get the edit war.

Well, I want solutions that work now, not solutions that would work if the code were changed as well as the policies.
Patience, grasshopper...since this is the technical mailing list, why not discuss the code changes that would make all of this pain go away? What would the right solution be?
