How often do you actually use a wikia's Categories as a Search tool beyond the upper-tier Cats like the same franchise? Honestly, how often *do* you look for child murderers and the like via categories?

Up near the top of this thread I posted the categories for Darth Vader from here, Wikipedia, Disney wikia, and Wookieepedia. We have the most categories for him.

Let that sink in. We have *more* category tags than the wikia dedicated to Star Wars does for the franchise's first and most iconic villain. Let that sink in. Ok if you're saying I should use google to find certain types of villains on this wiki rather than something on this site then that means you're doing something wrong.

Also I do use categories as a search tool fairly often, sometimes I want to see which other villains share similarities with the one I was originally looking at.

And you *should* have more categories, this wiki is dedicated to an in depth look at villains and villains come in many different variations and often have many different sides to them, wookieepedia has to focus on people as overall characters not just as villains so they just have categories for the basics.

Also if you look at wikipedia's categories you'll notice that wikipedia does have ones for different types of murders including mass murderers, child murderers, fillicides, patricides and matricides. It doesn't seem like a good idea to dumb down this wiki so much that wikipedia offers a more in depth look at different types of villains when it should be the other way around.
