A companion to this could be the help page I wrote on understanding categories, which covers some of the problems you run into with them: The help page doesn't cover it, but there's a related problem of "Infobox stuffing" where people keep adding more and more to the Infobox and there's almost nothing on the page. Typically, it's characteristics that really should should be described in the main part of the page (such as "personality: happy, cheerful, sunny, pleasant", etc. on through about 50 other adjectives), but it's easier for them to just slap a label in the Infobox, just like it's easier to slap a category on the page with the Add Category button.
 * The effects of putting a category on a category page.
 * Overly-descriptive and excessively long category names.
 * Duplicate categories because they are similarly-named, including how capitalization differences can create duplicate categories.
 * Excessive categories where people get click happy with the Add Category button and spend more time adding categories than they do filling out the rest of the page. I have seen some wikis where there are over a hundred categories on a page that only had one or two sentences. It's a kind of laziness where people think, "I don't have to write anything about this character because I can just add a category."
