I've overlooked the blog; what really concerns me is category spam, especially with our massive database. I'm open to the idea of deleting any unnecessary categories and fusing those that need to be fused (and making much clear differentiations for categories like Sorcerers/Witches/Warlocks and so on). One grouping of categories that I don't really think is needed are categories pertaining to powers, e.g. Pyrokinetic Villains, Aquakinetic Villains, and more obscure ones like Benzinikinetic Villains. This especially gets cluttered if you have a villain that's displayed one usage of every power under the sun (common with video game bosses as well as many supervillains); add in the problem of users adding categories even if they only apply to the character in question vaguely and that's a major problem. There's also the Trope terms, which many I think have overstayed their welcome here. Knight of Cerebus has run into a similar problem as Complete Monster and that's one category I want to see go.

To refocus the wiki and reduce clutter, categories I think should be limited to archetypes commonly and prominently associated with villains (e.g. Evil Clowns, Femme Fatale) or ones needed for general distinction (e.g. Male/Female villains and franchise/series based category). Categories that are vaguely defined, are too often misused, or have no place should either be redefined or cut altogether, and if possible I think we should start with both the power-focused categories and the trope terms (the latter especially as those are subject to the most misuse).

I agree with your points and I'm open to any suggestions to promote focus of the category blog.
