: One reason is that while they are part of the subcategories, this doesn't exclude them from the other categories. For example, [[KoreanDJ]] is still a smasher, even though he's a pro. This helps because they are listed in all applicable categories. You're right in that it it's obvious, but that doesn't remove it's usefulness. -- [[User:Delphiki|Bean]] 23:46, March 30, 2007 (GMT)

:Category structure in wiki-based websites can get very complicated (just take a look at the top level of categories at [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Categories Wikipedia]!) but it's less important to worry about redundant categories in individual articles than it is to worry about the actual categorization of ''categories''. Especially when it comes down to state-level sub-divisions like [[:Category:Wisconsin smashers]]. In that case, [[:Category:American smashers]] belongs to [[:Category:Smashers]], but [[:Category:Wisconsin smashers]] belongs only to [[:Category:American smashers]]. Otherwise, both the American smashers and Wisconsin smashers would be listed as sub-categories to [[:Category:Smashers]]. Which would obviously get needlessly complicated when two or three hundred political sub-divisions get thrown into the mix. --<font color="000023">'''[[User:Randall00|RJM]]'''</font> <sup>''[[User talk:Randall00|Talk]]''</sup> 15:13, September 18, 2007 (EDT)
