Category:Wikipedia categories in need of attention

This is an administration category. It is used for administration of the Wikipedia project and is not part of the encyclopedia. It contains pages that are not articles, or it groups articles by status rather than content. Do not include this category in content categories. This is a container category. Due to its scope, it should contain only subcategories. This is a hidden category. It is not shown on its member pages, unless the corresponding user preference 'Show hidden categories' is set. This is a tracking category. It builds and maintains a list of pages primarily for the sake of the list itself. Pages are added to tracking categories through templates.

Shortcut: WP:CINA

This category contains other categories that are in need of attention for some reason. Common reasons for this include:

• An existing categorization scheme has become problematic, messy, or hard to navigate, and needs to be refactored.
• Articles are classified according to one scheme, but need to be cross-referenced by another. (For example, "by date" vs. "by type" subcategory schemes.)
• Links or titles are malformed.
