This is a  non-specific comment  I'd like your opionion/expertise/advice on:

So far I undertand Categories as a Classification Tag about the information contained on a Page then you pointed out that Categories are heavily used as a "navigation" tool by Mobile interface users ... So there is some "philosophical views" on how they should be  coded from Narrow/Exclusive-Sets to Broad/Inclusive-Sets ... The who delivering a different experience but neither being good or bad, just different.

If we take, as example, the current  HC Wiki Locations Pages. the favored model  for Catagories is "Narrow focus"  with  the most "Exclusive Category" Pages are member of the least numbers of Category posssible, and membership to  single Category is promoted all looked for. So  in order to access all Pages, you would need to display Multiple Categories ( here Main City, Upper CIty, Dungeons & Old Lcations).

At the other end of the spectrum thate are the Broad/Inclusive-Sets where the Catgories are used to make Pages a  accessible by the most common  Caategory Tag one could think of ... In this model,  Pages can be member of much longer list of Categories and those Tags will have broader use. In date representation model:  Locations would apply to anything that can be accessible in Game that can played or serched ... Then followed by "Qualifiers" like Main City, Upper CIty, Mini-Games,  Asian,  Jack's,  Art-Deco,  Horror,  etc ... ( those tags are there only for example purposes and are in NO WAY suggestion of Categoties (^)   ...)

And then there an infinite numbers in-between depending if a less or more Narrow Navigation/Classification system is desired .. One of the misconceptions, IMO, is to consistently use the name of  a Data-Element  Type as the name in Categories & Sub-Categories ... i.e. LOCATIONS,  MAIN CITY LOCATIONS, UPPER CITY LOACTIONS vs   LOCATIONS, MAIN CITY, UPPER CITY ... Where MAIN CITY can be a tag on a Collection, Case  or  Location Page as opposed to  MAIN CITY LOCATIONS that has a  very narrow use.

Thanks for any input  on  this .. aand again, it is a question related to the theoritical  wiki "CATEGORY" concept ,,, so there no rush in answering since you are currently actively working on the HC WIki and I very OK to be at the bottom of the proverbial pile (^) ...

HAPPY EDITING & GAMING ON YOUR OWN !
