Categories alone do not provide much information. Child murderer? Who was the child. How were they killed? *Why* were they killed? What were the circumstances and consequences? How many children were killed?

All those are things which need to be in the article.

Thing is, a Child Murder is still a murderer. If they can kill anyone, they CAN kill *anyone*.

In addition, *most* visitors to Villains Wiki—indeed to *most* wikias—arrive at the site by following links from search engines. They do not come here and "window shop" with a "Hmm, I wonder what kind of villain I can find here" mentality. Additionally, very few then go "I wonder how many other villains are X" other than, say, of the same or competitive franchise.

No. They come looking for IN DEPTH INFO about a character. If all they find is little more than "X was a villain in Y" with a bunch of categories at the bottom, then they are going to think this site is a waste of their time and go back to their search engines to try again. And less likely to follow any links to Villains in the future.

And when a page has more words in the cloud of categories at the bottom than it does in the body of the article, something is wrong.

In addition, the functionality of finding a highly specific Villain is not removed. at the top of every wikia page is SEARCH. Type in "child"/"children" and "murder"/"murderer" and you'll get a listing of every article and page which talks about the murder of children.

Now, you say you see pages which are lacking? How about spending the time and energy you've put into complaining in this thread, and ADD to those articles. To the BODY of them, not just the tags.
