Re creating categories
Hi. Your point is well taken about ISIL and Salafism. For perspective, there are some reasons we're reticent about creating new categories &mdash; not that we don't do so, in fact we've been pushing a bit to fill in gaps in our categories for some years now, and it shows in that our cat hierarchy has merely a lot of holes in it rather than feeling like it's mostly holes (seriously, it's a lot better than it was). One of the reasons we're cautious about creating new cats is that an incompletely populated category is misleading, so when we create a cat we want to fully populate it. That means we have to figure out which articles, of the twenty thousand or so in our archives, belong in the new category, and some admin has to actually add the cat to each selected article. This can be a good deal of work for admins (depending on how much belongs in the cat).

Since you have created a cat for Salafism, do you have recommendations as to which articles should go in it? Perhaps you'd start with everything in the cat for ISIL? What else? One of the things we do look for when considering creation of a new cat is, will it be clear whether or not any given article should go in the cat. Are membership decisions going to be straightforward for a cat Salafism? --Pi zero (talk) 16:11, 24 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Everything from ISIL should have a Salafi tag. Also, anything associated with the religious establishment of Saudi Arabia would be Salafi. I&#39;m feeling slightly mellow (talk) 17:58, 24 February 2015 (UTC)
