category requests

[aethel]

In addition to the ongoing fandom category project, a few more categories have been added by request: Poetry and newsgroups. There was also a request for a cookbook category, but I may have complicated matters by suggesting too many alternate names. Consensus on the Cookbook talk page, please?

I also started a thread here on how/whether to create a Vidder category, which I dimly recall someone mentioned in comments on an earlier post in this community. I haven't seen a formal request for this category.

You can always check out all the new categories added in the last few days.

We could create subcategories for all the different types of fans, but if influential fan creators are consistently linked from the main page about the fan creation (vids, fanfiction, filk, etc.), that might be more useful than a subcategory.

Off topic: I was looking at the Social Networking category recently and suddenly wondered if it had been intended for all the livejournal community pages. I don't think the category has ever been used that way, but maybe someone tried back at the beginning and I removed the pages from the category?? It seems a little weird that there's no subcategory for lj comms when there are so many on the wiki.

re: comm pages, I don't think so. Communities aren't really any more "social networks" than message boards or mailing lists are. I thought these were supposed to go in "Fan Communities"?
