Because it was getting amazingly complex and because I am a giant nerd, I made this diagram to show the current Star Trek category structure on Fanlore. Some of these were just added this afternoon, so they're empty at the moment.

Okay, that's pretty damned impressive.

That is quite the structure! Clearly a lot of work there.

I'm not sure I see the pattern in the Zine subcategories; is that explained or discussed somewhere? It seems to be a mixture of length and subject in various ways...?

Skimmed through
http://fanlore.org/wiki/Category_talk:Star_Trek_TOS_Zines
but don't see a specific reasoning there. Probably where I should be raising this query!

Looks great: some things simply cannot fit into only one category

Hmm, where does Star Trek Filk belong?

::Ponders whether there are 15+ Trek filk albums::
I think so. Between albums, filkbooks, and famous Trek songs, there's probably enough to comprise a category. (I know; go add pages and when there's enough, a category will appear.)

Probably not enough Star Trek games. Maybe. Star Fleet Battles will eventually need a page, and probably just get tagged as Category:Star Trek. There've been several Trek RPGs, all of which flopped horribly.
