Okay, in trying to take all this in as to how best to recommend changes…
 * Consolidate, consolidate, consolidate
 * If you give too many choices, people will try to make use of all they can, as well as argue which is better/proper, etc. Don't provide them choices. Which also extends to limiting subcategories which may be unnecessarily too specific.


 * As much as possible merge genderized Cats into gender-neutral
 * Genderism is already established with Category:Male Villains and Category:Villainesses—although for sake of consistency either make it Male & Female or Villains & Villainesses. Which leads into…


 * Merge as many similar and like categories as possible
 * For example Category:Sorcerers & Category:Sorceress are basically the same thing and unnecessarily redundant. Now add all the other forms of magic-users like Category:Witches & Category:Warlocks, and Category:Wizards, etc and you have an unnecessarily large number of Cats which can be all serviced by something like Category:Magic or "Cat:Magic User". The rest is just franchise-specific terminology which ultimately adds little except argument-fodder.

Did you have a chance to look over the category policy I established at this fanon wikia (click "expand")? Currently it is simple while still being informative. I'm sure once contributors start creating more content there will be need for additional Cats & Subs, but my intention there is to keep the focus on the articles MORE than fussing over what's at the bottom of them…
