User blog comment:AgentMuffin/Category Cleanup Justification/@comment-3551372-20141111224532

The problem is a number of these categories aren't even "really created" as wikia likes to put it. Categories on pages are only created from someone typing it on a bunch of pages and if they don't actually put text on it, it doesn't exist, sort of? Pages link there but it's not really there.

Another problem is that these pages are open. Anyone can create a category and with the number of spammers this amount can increase to 500 if it wanted to. You'd have to take a look at the actual names of the categories and clean up the ones that look like obvious spam. Once it happens, from then on look for the spammer-categorising people and delete it. But that'll be a while.

I support this. Why you aren't an admin yet is beyond me haha, oh well you're only new for just now. I'm sure it would be great.
