Rename the category!?

[ edit ]

This Cate is only for Categories by … so it is common to name this Category to Category:Categories by , because today Reinhard Muller removed several Categories, which have now no main-category anymore (in the underlying meaning of the name).

Yes, I noticed that some people mistook this category as being about the "topic of categories", like a normal topic category. In fact, there is no such topic category, AFAICT. The most logical thing, IMHO, would be to
  1. rename Category:Meta categories to Category:Meta categories (flat list) (because that's what it really is)
  2. rename Category:Categories to Category:Meta categories (because that's what it really is)
  3. have Category:Categories free to use as a topic category
