So I've been running around with the "Random Page" button on this 1,700 pages wiki, and other than useless pages, I've been noticing some useless categories as well. Not only useless, they are imitating (BFDI, Battle for Dream Island, OO, Object Overload,...) as well. This is first, irritating for users to look at the categories section, and second, are making the wiki look bad. So I've been thinking, and I decided to remove these from the pages to make them look better.

So how can you help us?
You could start by looking at pages by using the "Random Page" button on top of the wiki page. Look for any categories that are either: First, useless. Some examples are the "Cool" category used in a fan fiction, or just one category with the same meaning, over and over again. (Voice actor, Voice actors, Nate Groth, Inanimate, Object, Insanity, Inanimate Insanity, AnimationEpic, Made by AnimationEpic, Fan, Fan Fans etc.) Second, similar categories. You could probably tell by the name. Examples are (Inanimate Insanity, II, Male, Males, Females, Female, Armless, armless, etc.) And finally, one-time used category. Now, some category is only used for one specific page, and can't be used or anything else. Some examples are (Good Balloon, Evil Balloon, Normal Balloon,...) these are wasting the categories space. Now back to where we started. If you see them, please click on the "Classic Editor", go to the category section, and delete the categories listed above. Also, if you so happen to find a useless page while looking for useless categories, please mark them as "Candidate for Deletion" by using. This will also help our previous "operation", User blog:Phuocphuc46/Operation: Housekeeping.

What will you get for doing this?
Nothing. You get nothing. But you will, however, help out the wiki a lot, making it looks better without those pesky categories, and making category-finding (which is using a category to find pages) much easier. So please, help us out. Thanks for reading this blog post, and as always, thanks for wasting your times. Regards, Forty-Six.
