Well, we're almost done with the category cleanup, so I'd like to hear some suggestions. Basically I'd like to discuss some category renamings and mergings.

That actually brings up an interesting point, how would we qualify characters central to Black Comedy then, Such as GLaDOS or The Illuminati? Since there is dissidence between humor for the audience and the situation as it is unfolding in universe. Would we qualify them as Comedy or Comedic or neither?
"comedy" is the venue/story
"comedic" refers to characters. "Comedy" and "Comedic" do not have to be in agreement or as a matched set.

I agree with that, and I'd like to suggest getting rid of the Character alignment categories. The existing category Anarchist could cover both Chaotic alignments, and the Lawful Alignments and Evil Cops could be merged into a new category called Law Enforcers. neutral Evil should just be deleted because it's no use without the other categories, and True Neutral could get renamed.
I see, but what about the suggestion of deleting neutral Evil and renaming the other Alignment categories, and restoring Poisoners?
here's a topic I think admins need to address, due to the nature of webcomics and exploitation and even just regular Mature media we will come across material that is semi-porn on this wiki.. in fact I've seen fetish comics on this wiki (Bonnie from Bonnie's Body being a prime example).
how far are we, as a wiki, allowing this? we need to establish that pretty quick because users will keep uploading fetish stuff and push boundaries unless admins adress fully how far "Mature" goes for this wiki.
Wika has a ToS to safeguard us from hardcore stuff but it is up to individual wikis to decide how far they go in terms of the fetish materials (I'm full neutral as I believe in "don't like, don't watch" but this is not universal).
I don't particularly want a repeat of several years ago when we had Bluto's page spammed with muscle-fetish art (thankfully that was easy to deal with as it went against ToS as well as our "no fan art" rules : we have yet to really determine a definite rule on how far other stuff goes (except the obvious "breaking Wikia ToS").
Is there any blatant nudity in some of the examples you've mentioned?
A lot of the "merged with Elementals" were actually misnomers and were actually simply being deleted while reviewing if Elementals applied, like the varied -kinetics.
Poisoners was deleted because it is basically a weapon, and weapons were removed altogether.
Personally my recommendation for alignments was to reduce it to three of the original RPG alignments: Lawful, Chaotic, and Neutral. (I remember those days, sigh). Evil is unnecessary as everyone on this wikia should be evil, and of course, you cannot be Good if Wicked doing Evil. That was voted down.
Bonnie (Bonnie's Body) <--- I'd say this is as far as we should really be allowed to go.. if not a little too far for a public wiki.. I'm not one to really have strong opinions on this anyway as I don't see porn etc as "bad".. I am still sensible enough to know such things shouldn't really be on wikis unless there's a darn good reason (or they abide by rules).. as stands fetish-stuff seems to be unaddressed and there's a LOT of it on internet.. if we keep webcomics we NEED to establish rules on how far the adult content is allowed.
