SHOW ME:


 * DO NOT create new categories; must go through Governance Council

BACKGROUND (why not allow us to create categories?)
 * Initially, categories were organized based upon the Library of Congress standards and adopting the UN list of countries.
 * Specialized modifications were made for the FamilySearch Wiki as follows:
 * - Adaptations were made based on common usage of some country names and the Family History Library catalog system.
 * - Category names had to be both topic-oriented and location-oriented.
 * - Select maintenance categories needed to be embedded in patrolling.
 * - Categories needed to be logical for genealogical research and be user-friendly for beginners.
 * Finally, each step of the organizing process was presented to and approved by the Governance Council.
