 * I think we have the same ideas that there is too much redundancy and excessiveness with categories, but differ with how to address it. For the "Humans", "Characters" and such categories, I feel that we could do away with "Humans" and "Characters" and keep "Human Characters of the Franchise". I see it as killing three birds with one stone. This way, for example Astrid's page, we could remove "Humans" and "Characters" and just have "Human Characters of the Franchise". This would pare down at least a little bit on her 40-some odd categories on the page. I also feel there should be the "Human Characters from the Franchise" and "Human Characters from the Books" because people will probably be looking for one or the other (if people really use the categories all that much to begin with). These three-in-one categories would cover all "Human Characters".
 * As for categories such as "Dragons: Race to the Edge", I feel a little differently - I think we should keep "Dragons: Race to the Edge" and the categories such as "Dragons: Race to the Edge Characters" etc. As mentioned previously, this is because we have Dragons: Race to the Edge pages that are events, practices, animals, plants, objects, songs, etc that don't fit into the already created categories such as "Dragons: Race to the Edge". So we would therefore have to create "Dragons: Race to the Edge Objects", etc etc to encompass them if we were to get rid of "Dragons: Race to the Edge". Alternatively, perhaps we could keep "Dragons: Race to the Edge" but rename it to something like "Dragons: Race to the Edge - Other" or "Dragons: Race to the Edge - Miscellaneous". Or we could just specify on the "Dragons: Race to the Edge" category page itself that it is only to be used for pages that don't already have a Dragons: Race to the Edge category. Or further still, perhaps the only pages in Dragons: Race to the Edge would be all the 'other' pages, but also include the categories (not pages) for "Dragons: Race to the Edge Characters", etc. Then we could remove "Dragons: Race to the Edge" from pages like Astrid's and so on.


 * As for "Comics" versus "Graphic Novels", I feel that graphic novels are long 'novel' length comics. Comics is the overall grouping that could include graphic novels, serial comics, single-panel comics, comic strips, and so on. So "Graphic Novels" would be a sub-category of "Comics". Its fine if you would like to keep "Graphic Novel", its just a small category and could fit in "Comics".
