I think the AH categories should be separated out from the general categories. This problem is even more obvious in the craft categories - there are a lot of items that are used in multiple crafts, but, obviously, they only appear in one AH category. We're currently categorizing them based on synthesis/desynthesis recipes, plus any items that are in the AH category, so it's not a very accurate list of what's in the AH. I'm not sure that it has to be, either, but if we did want to categorize those items, it probably needs to be in a separate category (maybe using "(AH)" to distinguish the two?).

I like the Raw Meat and Raw Fish categories: I don't think they're going to be much use to anyone, but it's a little thing that's in the game, so why not. It can be fun to browse those things sometimes.

I also like the Fishable category: it could be argued that it's a little redundant with the Fishing category, but it does separate out Fishing Gear, which is nice, and should help eliminate any confusion on the odd pages like gil. I'm not sure if it's appropriate, but we could also add the monsters that can be fished up as well.

We should also consider adding categories for "Saltwater Fish" and "Freshwater Fish". It's something that most of the fishing sites did, though I'm not exactly sure how important that information is when the fishing spots are all listed.

I'm not sure where I stand on making the Fish category into an AH-only category. On the one hand, I'd prefer to create new AH-only categories rather than redefine the existing ones into AH-only categories. On the other hand, I'm not sure if a generic "Fish" category would be distinct enough from a "Fish (AH)" category - it would include some additional fish, like the Ex fish and the Escha fish, but that's about it.

Lastly, the Mog Garden categories are fine by me. We might be heading into over-categorization territory, but I'm not sure I mind that too much. I'd like to move the "Mog Garden" category to "Mog Garden (Key Items)" if we do, though - there's a lot of stuff related to the Mog Garden, so it's a little silly to have that category tied up for a handful of key items (although I don't mind that it's been used that way up until now).
