"Taking responsibility" means recognizing, accepting, and doing something about a situation. Matters not how long that situation has been going on.

So the admins are now recognizing the Categories have gotten out of hand. They are accepting that the administration has allowed it to happen, and they are now doing something about it. THAT IS "taking responsibility".

Keep in mind that admins come and go. Not only in a rotation but sometimes RL just gets in the way and keeps them away for a while. And as mentioned are all unpaid volunteers. NO ONE on any wikias are paid for their time. NOT even Staff—Staff is paid to run WIKIA, and any who manage to remain active admins on any local wikias do so basically on their own time and secondary to their WIKIA duties.

Part of the problem with making changes is most don't like changes.
