There have recently been a proliferation with the
article series boxes.
It is not just *more* boxes, but some of these boxes have a new quality, too.
(Or rather, lack quality even more than the usual ones.) The boxes "LGBT" and
"Project Critical Theory" for example try to make a series out of something
that could not possibly made into a series.
I have already put my opinion on those two on
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Article_series, but would like to
encourage more comments, since the makers of those particular boxes are
completely deaf to any comments on them, too; the LGBT people don't even
bother to answer any comment. There are probably more cases like this out
there, but those are the two I stumbled over.
This is a sign that we are in dire need of the category
system. What is
the current state of the category system and what can Nohat do to help?
Let there be categories before the Wikipedia is inundated with articles
that are 99% article series boxes and 1% content.
Yes, we need categories - and until then, let's *stop* those damn things, too.
Greetings from Cologne,
