Why can't Wikipedia be all things to all

Hear hear!
When I finally became completely sick of the menagerie of stub templates
that decorated the bottoms of most of the pages I saw, I didn't go on a
grand crusade to delete them all from Wikipedia. Instead I just edited
my stylesheet and made them invisible. It'd be neat if we could do that
with entire articles, being able to eliminate everything in
[[Category:Fictional]] or [[Category:High schools]] from one's personal
view of Wikipedia could have saved a lot of bloodshed over the years.
I agree with both of your sentiments, we are large enough to contain
an incredible amount of information about a myriad subjects. My
approach is more practical: if you don't want to read articles about
Pokemon characters, don't.
