Making stuff for its own ends - ArtsAndEntertainment?


The point of having a computerized encyclopedia is not to face some of the traditionnal dilemma of the Editor-In-Chief:
meeting the deadline, having a fixed list of articles, publishing a fixed work, having only one table of contents.

I think that apart from quite rational CategorySchemes we should encourage many apparently non-sensical categorizations and make them available through a variant of the CategorySchemes and/or of the PatentNonsense page, like this one:
#Things written by BryceHarrington
#Things having kept a wEiRDcAPITALIZATion? in wikiwiki
#Things whose name is badly spelt by most
#Things whose shape or color has a cute name in shwahili
#Birds that cannot fly
#Subjects alluded to in more than two of the above categories
#People not wanting to be classified as things
#Objects not wanting to be called by any other name
#Objects that can be thrown at someone you despise
#Savoir-vivre manuals
#Mirrors, Queens and Rabbits
#Miscelleaneous and Dinosaurs
