This page is for suggesting categories that need work. This might be when:

Subcategories need to be created for very large categories. A better template for this specific problem is {{verylarge}}.
An existing categorization scheme has become problematic, messy, or hard to navigate, and needs to be refactored.
Articles are classified according to Scheme A, but need to be cross-referenced by Scheme B. (For example, "by date" vs. "by type" subcategory schemes.)
Links or titles are malformed

To add a category here, visit it, click the "edit" tab, and add the tag {{cleancat}} to the category, which will display the following text:

This category is in need of attention.
See talk page for a characterisation of the experienced problems. When there is consensus that the problems mentioned on the talk page have been resolved, this notice can be removed.
