Banned Categories (Official)

Information
This is the official page that lists every category that is banned on the BNCW. If you are seen adding these categories to pages, you will be warned.

Admins and Bureaucrats can discuss more categories to be added to this list when necessary. Categories that are banned will have the BannedCategory template on their category pages which will have a notice and add the "BannedCategory" category.

Categories are generally banned for either being an easy way to edit farm (it can be added to an extremely large number of pages) or being too insignificant to need its own category. They can also be banned for being too similar to an already existing category.
