I know quite a bit of time has passed since we last discussed this. I wanted to let you know this is still my position, and I still recommend a structuring of Turtlepedia's subcategorization conventions to to more resemble those of Wikipedia; in particular, the reduction of redundant direct placement in parent categories that make parent categories much more cluttered and more difficult to maintain. See for the relevant topic. In principle, though some categories genuinely need to be for specific reasons, this is generally sloppy practice and articles should usually only be placed in the outermost nodes of the category trees. For instance, never Category:Villains and Category:Villains (Mirage) in the same article, but just Category:Villains (Mirage) and leave Category:Villains directly containing mostly subcategories and articles still waiting to be properly subcategorized.

Please. The current system of overcategorization in parent categories makes long-term category maintenance into a logistical nightmare. If you personally genuinely like browsing very large categories with everything under the sun, perhaps the better option would be to implement pages of separately-maintained lists separate from and in addition to the category trees.
