First off, I'm not an admin here, so I can't enforce what I'm about to say. But I hope you'll listen so that we can get some things back in line that have gotten out of control.

About 99% of your edits have been to add categories to pages. A lot of people do this because it's easy to just keep clicking on the "Add category" button.

But what happens is that the categories get abused and it only adds clutter to a page. It encourages people to think, "I don't need to say anything on the page about how the character is arrogant. I can just add an 'Arrogant atagonists' category. I don't have to show how this character inflicted pain on a dog. They yelled at it in the movie, so that's close enough to 'Animal cruelty' that I'll use that."

Categories are being used as a replacement for writing things about the character to provide proof that a category is correct. More time is spent category spamming and nothing is said about who the character is, what they believe in, who their relatives are, how they interact with other people, what their goals are, and so on.

That has led to situations where it's so out of balance that there's two or three sentences on the page but anywhere from forty to a hundred categories.

Each category is an opportunity to say something about the character. You've started off with putting in some good information on the character (probably copied from another wiki without saying so, however), but then you start adding dozens of categories. Help this wiki out by not adding to the clutter. The more categories there are, the less useful they become. It becomes information overload.

Help out by not contributing any more to an ongoing problem.
