I’m IIMarckus. I do reverse engineering and some programming, and have an unreasonable nostalgia for the Game Boy.

Categories

As of 05:40, 20 October 2008 (UTC), I count 2118. Of these, 142 begin with the word “user.” In addition:

  • 47 begin with the name of a video game, followed by “user.”
  • 15 begin with the name of a type, followed by “user.”
  • 6 begin with the name of a web browser, followed by “user.”
  • 6 begin with the name of a type of Internet connection, followed by “user.”
  • 3 begin with the name of an operating system, followed by “user.”

Category:Event Pokémon tags consists solely of templates for userpages saying who has what event Pokémon.

Nineteen categories are of the form “Episodes focusing on <character>.”

Nineteen categories are of the form “Episodes directed and storyboarded by <person>.” This is despite the fact that for each of these persons exist two separate categories of the form “Episodes directed by <person>” and “Episodes storyboarded by <person>.”

When Category:Female characters and Category:Male characters were created, over seven hundred pages were edited solely to put them in one of these categories.

Every single page in Category:GB Islands is a stub.

Sixty‐six categories are of the form “Ships with <character>.” Of these, thirty‐two consist of only one page.
