Currently we have three types of categories: container categories, partially diffused categories, and categories with articles only. According to the proposal we should cut out the second type of categories. However, I'm not sure how, because articles hugely differ in the broadness of their topic, and that is why we use partially diffused categories. For example we have Europe and we have Paris and we have Bastille which you will currently find at different category levels in the same tree. How is that going to work in this proposal?

It's a simple algorithm for the implementation to handle this. I'm pretty sure some circular paths exist in categories exist, but there are ways to handle this programatically too. If you try to perform an intersection on a huge tree-trunk category like Category:Europe then you can expect to have the result arrive slowly or the members of the intersection too numerous to be meaningful. What we want is community push to get this feature. Implementation details should be a secondary concern. Donama (talk) 05:29, 5 January 2018 (UTC)
