Well, the discussion about the "kind of
categories" missed a very

one:
Categories used to group wikipedians by poitical/religious beliefs
like
[[Category:Muslim Wikipedians]]
[[Category:Born-again Christian Wikipedians]]
[[Category:Flying Spaghetti Monsterist Wikipedians]]
[[Category:Roman Catholic Wikipedians]]
As far as the other thread goes, I'm happy to leave them out because
they only affect user pages, not article pages.
Btw, what's with [[Category:Flying Spaghetti Monsterist Wikipedians]]?
Surely everyone knows the correct category is [[Category:Pastafarian
Wikipedians]]?
IMO, all these categories (in particular the ones related to
religious or political affiliation) are not a good idea, as these
tend to be used for lobbying. I have not problem in users describing
the religious or political affiliation in their user pages, but these
categories divide and polarize. Not good for community-building.
