#Sorry, I know I must be seeming really disagreeable over the past few days, but I'm actually going to oppose this. When an article is created without a category, it's usually the job of someone more familiar with the wiki and the existing categories to add one. An Other category can always be a fallback for particularly difficult pages, but I don't think we should delete useful articles simply because we don't know where to put them (like B.O.B., although we kind of proposed a category for that and other things like cauldrons and Chuffy, but have yet to create it). Granted, a few of those uncategorized pages aren't very useful at all and could probably be deleted. I probably just didn't bother adding the template when I saw them because it was kind of obvious. {{User:Jimbo Jambo/sig}} | #Sorry, I know I must be seeming really disagreeable over the past few days, but I'm actually going to oppose this.

#I must '''oppose''' as well. Though I don't actually post here a lot of new users don't know categories exist. When I first started editing pages I had no idea categories were available let alone know where to find them. It's really the job of established members who know where everything is to come by and say "''Hey that could be categorized here''". Deleting pages is never a good idea unless they're simply vandalism. Especially when they're added with the intent of expanding this Wikia. Talk pages are there to get users to discuss where a page might be categorized and we should use them. – [[User:Morder|Morder]] 10:10, 9 July 2008 (UTC) | |||
