Ahh, yes. There is a special page, Special:CategoryTree. (Instructions on how to use it at MediaWiki's website.) It dynamically loads category structures and lets you browse them on one page. But if a single category has too many entries, apparently it stops after a certain number (200 or something). And Category:Villains has over 500 unsubcategorized entries.

Bloated immediate categories may be like a candy store to someone who wants to see it all at once. But for many ordinary users, they can be so painful and intimidating to sift through. Also consider that TMNT involves multiple fandoms, many of which don't have much in common with the others. You like all TMNT materials. But most TMNT fans I know, whatever they like, only like a handful of them. So if they don't find it in one of the subcategories, that means they're likelier to find it in the parent category still waiting to be subcategorized. But if all entries are also sorted in parent, then it starts to feel like flipping through a complete stranger's photo albums just to find something familiar&mdash;"don't care", "don't care", "don't care", "don't care", until you start really loathing it. And imagine how it feels like for someone who has to maintain that pile of clutter, having to distinguish uncategorized from already-doubly-categorized.

Please, please, use the Special pages for binge-viewing and just let me do my part to help make the wiki less painful to navigate, one article at a time. A tidy category feels like an achievement, and I dread going back just to find a horrifically cluttered parent category.
