 * History of Wiki Portals, I created the last 300 pages changed to Non-Portals.
 * Present Page Problems may be caused by misuse, misunderstanding, and plain lazy use of Categorization
 * The Category Tree is formed by Sub-categories (Lack of understanding among contributors). Some contributors either put the page in the largest category, no category, misspell the category or in a too specific category (Example the title of the page)

 * B. The order of articles starts on the Category:Contents and Etc.
 * 4. Organize the present Categories and subcategories.
