Wikia really should be pressured into fixing SMW related navigation.

Categories are absolutely terrible for all these things. They turn into a complete and hideous mess. There are probably plenty of Wikipedians hoping one day WikiData could kill off a lot of the categories over at Wikipedia.

For us, attributes are the solution to those things. We already annotate all our character articles with attributes like gender and rank. And those don't require us to create pages for a thousand convoluted categories.
