I agree that renaming pages for vocabulary sake is far too much effort v result and a bit patronizing. But even if we did clean these up. Find the most concise, to the point, well phrased category tags. Well I mean how do we prevent more from overlapping?

I think a few of them are well placed, a Warlock for example has to do with not just magic but where the magic is from, it is an iconic tie to Hell as opposed to just a sorcerer's generic arcana. A Necromancer is also a specific and often sinister type of magic. But yes I must admit phrases like wizard and sorcerer are interchangeable. A real issue I have noticed though is categories that are simply a combination of two previous ones. Died with Honor is just Honorable Villains + Deceased Villains, it brings nothing new to the table. How is Lustful Villains any different from Perverts? And I am still very concerned about things like biological relation not applying to adoptive families or creatures without biology such as robots or spirits. Protoman-Megaman/Dark Brotherhood-The Dovakiin, that sort of thing.

We can tidy up and make the categories more well defined but it really comes down to users bothering to read them before adding them or going back if they see a mistake.
