Official categories.

Hey everyone, I have noticed that many users on this wikia have some trouble with seeing the difference between "official categories" (categories meant to be used on pages here, which are decided/chosen closely and approved by most of the Admins) and "unofficial categories" (old categories created by other users only for personal use and reasons, which is against the rules on this wikia), so I am listing the names of some of the most important and known categories that is officially meant to be used on pages here below:

Hope this is of any help and another way for you guys to know that a category you find on this wikia is "unofficial", then you can usually see it if they either do not contain any "text" or is "deleted".

P.S If anyone wonders why this is important, well its because before, then this wikia was not anything like it was now and had almost no rules. Thus many categories were created by several users on pages, most of which did not make any sense and even meant the same thing, so much that the pages on this wikia became filled with so many unnecessary categories that it looked like a mess. This is why the Admins eventually decided to create the rules we have today to fix and prevent problems like that, as well as other issues. So I hope you guys can respect the rules on this wikia, they were all made for good reasons.
