Since when? How about this very morning?

Allow me to respectfully disagree with you. We are a wiki less specific than most, because the subject we treat is broad and varied. We need to add explanations in the category page to explain what it is about. On wikipedia, the category content is "Exactly what says on the tin" I grant you that, but here, the HUGE problem of category misuse forces us to be more specific. There are many forms of villains, there are many forms of magic, there are many forms of a trope. There are bound to have distinctions and specifities, and as much as we need to weed out useless categories, we cannot get rid of all.

The character using magic might be evil, but the magic in itself is not. And basically every story about magic makes a distinction between normal magic and Dark Magic. It's like saying Lord Voldemort is a Dark Wizard, therefore all magic he uses is evil, even when he merely teleports or conjures something. There are evil spellcasters who use mostly normal magic and others who do mostly Dark Magic, Necromancy and Demon Conjuring. The distinction still matters.

Some villains can have both categories in their list.
