Are you able to backup those claims, i get that this isnt the most active wikia, but you are the only person that has really made a point regarding the category systems (of which i have not stated that i am against) i cannot imagine subreddits bashing the category systems of all things (i am subscribed to both the 2020 and game subreddits).

All i made you aware of, was that a previous staff member from wikia central (a paid employee of wikia) came and overhauled our category system, based on what was mostly here when i joined. Both myself and Shepard are not against the changing of the categories, whilst it is handy at the moment to differentiate between the games, please let me know a suggestion and we can see what to do going forward. 

As i said, i hope the edit count boosting isnt a thing, however it sounded like that may have been the case if Shepard can give me solid example of where a page was deleted then recreated/text removed and re-added etc, then i will take action. I did notice that many pages were merged/replaced with category pages. I get that there are many gangs and it should be a category, but a page with an overview of gangs/gang culture within cyberpunk should also exist on this wiki. How are readers supposed to know who they are if they dont know what a gang is, or how they operate in Cyberpunk. The same princple goes for many topics. 

The other issue is that yes, there are not many contributors to this wiki, i would like to think that it’s not because of poor management, but rather a much bigger issue. Cyberpunk is a niche game, no matter what kind of bubble you live in where it may be popular, the video game will be popular and the editors will come in droves when it releases, but until then, no one really gives a toss about editing a wiki for a 30 year old pen & paper RPG. This also leads into the other issue of content not being made. Yes a lot of pages such as characters and gangs are pretty much a faux-category page, the reason nobody has expanded those pages with information, is because there is nobody to do it. With the right editors and content the page will be fine, and a category and an information page can both exist at the same time.
