Besides the Ninja thing, here's what I'd been doing for species categories:

I divided characters into groups according to species or species family. In addition to species categories that already existed, I created Category:Rabbits and Hares, Category:Primates, and so forth. I also grouped categories into parent categories where those categories did not yet exist&mdash;Category:Mammals, etc. I also purged the ambiguous vaguely-defined category Category:Bugs, and refined Category:Insects, Category:Crustaceans, Category:Arthropods, etc. I also made sure to place Category:Birds in Category:Dinosaurs as well as Category:Insects in Category:Crustaceans, since they are biological s of the parent family (all birds are clades of dinosaurs, all insects are clades of crustaceans, etc.). For categories like Category:Worms and Category:Fish, I made a note of their paraphyletic nature. I've been considering possibly creating clade categories for Category:Amniotes (includes mammals, reptiles, dinosaurs and birds), Category:Tetrapods (includes amphibians and amniotes) and Category:Vertebrates (includes tetrapods and all fish), but I hadn't committed to that, and there seemed to be little need unless the distinction was ever clearly brought up in TMNT works. I mean, Irma did obliquely mention in Of Rats and Men (the family includes rodents, rabbits & hares and primates), but that was more fluffy trivia than anything the audience was expected to take note of.

Now when it came to Category:Pigs, I added six articles (all different versions of Bebop), and put that in Category:Mammals. Now that Category:Pigs has been deleted, those articles are still categorized but for a category whose page no longer exists and no longer attaches to Category:Mammals. I'd recreate Category:Pigs, but I have no idea how The S will react, especially after the way he acted yesterday.
