Criteria for categories should be listed here:
- A minimum number of about 10 pages should be required.
- The category itself should be interesting.
- I doubt anybody can agree on this criteria.
- Not too similar to an existing category
- Perhaps consider widening (renaming) the similar one to include the target concept. However, perhaps run it by more WikiZens before preceding.
- The common properties of the pages represented by the category should be
- Interesting,
- New or
- Unusual.
When
not to create a category:
- Pages sharing a common prefix or suffix (in this case a http:findPage like may be listed on a PageGroups page).
- Pages sharing some unimportant or random property.
