[edit] My proposals for future improvement of Wikipedia

• There should be a way for subcategories to show their implied categories. Often I am tempted to place both "Category:Category 1" and "Category:Category 1's Category 2" simultaneously when it would be easier to insert "Category:Category 1:Category 2".
  • e.g.: An article on a Boeing aircraft can be listed under Category:Boeing and Category:Boeing Aircraft a sub-catagory of Boeing. Instead of listing it in both category and sub category Perhaps a new category system could be created such that the article on the boeing aircraft would be listed under Category:Boeing:Boeing Aircraft or better yet Category:Boeing:Aircraft
• All those category pages about not being cited properly or not meeting standards should all be transfered to a new "To Be Fixed" or "Page Issues" template. So instead of a "This needs to be fixed" category in the categories section, there could be an issues section underneath the category section listing all the former "fix this" categories. I believe that this will help readers circumvent content that is most likely intended for moderators.
• There should be rules on limting users from hoarding pages. Often I will be going through wikipedia and i will see cases in which one individual will go about
