I see you added a category to Mother (Danzig song), which is a redirect page. In general, redirect pages aren't categorized, so I removed this category. Natalie 00:07, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
- Sorry, maybe I was a little unclear. Adding categories to song pages is great, and I haven't reverted any other your changes except this one. The problem is that you added a category to a redirect page, which isn't generally done. There are a variety of reasons for this, but mainly it's because most Wikipedia users never see the actual redirect page. They just see the article it redirects to. So the category is useless as a tool for finding other articles about similar things. Also, because one article may have dozens of redirect pages, it would cause numerous duplicates in the category itself. I hope this makes more sense, but if not, just drop me a note on my talk page.
