What's with the obsession with categories? Is it all for badges? I think both EvilMummy and I are anti-page bloat and anti-category bloat also.

The idea behind a category should be that if one wants to see a grouping of a substantial number of things not immediately otherwise available.

E.g. all the monsters. But the Plant Island Monsters doesn't need to be a category because it's either all part of Monsters, or on the Plant Island Page.

I realize the game now groups the decorations by category, but they haven't helped us out by actually telling us what the categories are. And "Misc" is a goofy category name - it means you really didn't have everything grouped well.

Who really is going to go looking for the Statues page without wanting to look at the decorations in total?

Here's my compromise: a new page titled Decorations by type, just take the list and arrange it into several tables by type. Structures, statues, etc. Then we avoid the duplicate "structures" category, and then if BBB ever decides to tell us what they actually CALL the types, then we don't have to go around changing 40+ pages because we put a category type on there.
