All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part X

[Bob Schroeck]

And now, another subject entirely.

Some 14 or 15 months ago, I think it was Brent complained about category pages that were articles. We never did anything about it, but while clearing out the contents of the Unused Categories page I've just stumbled across an example that pretty much argues his case for him with eloquence and wit.

Gentlemen, Behold! Category:Ho Yay. An entire hierarchy of trope page and subpages living as a category and subcategories, and ghosted into the main namespace by way of redirects. The one that came up in Unused Categories, Category:Ho Yay/Other, lists dozens of examples across eight media types, but registers as "unused" because there's no page out there that actually has this category, y'know, on it.

This needs fixing now. And its co-conspirators lurking in category space need to be found and fixed as well.
