Criteria For Categories

Criteria for categories should be listed here:

• A minimum number of about 10 pages should be required.
• The category itself should be interesting.
  • I doubt anybody can agree on this criteria.
• Not too similar to an existing category
  • Perhaps consider widening (renaming) the similar one to include the target concept. However, perhaps run it by more WikiZens before preceding.
• The common properties of the pages represented by the category should be
  • Interesting,
  • New or
  • Unusual.

When not to create a category:

• Pages sharing a common prefix or suffix (in this case a http:findPage like may be listed on a PageGroups page).
• Pages sharing some unimportant or random property.
