The goal is to make a category tree that can navigate through the entire site, allowing a reader to find every page from something like Category:Browse. This is also part of SEO, portability, and navigation.

In terms of why I did that, it is one of my tasks as a wiki manager on a revitalization project. Cleaning out Wanted and Uncategorized pages is a major part of revitalization, since it is a wiki maintenance task, and as a Wiki Manager, part of my job is to help with maintenance pages.

Back to categories, I want to be clear, Categories themselves are primarily navigation feature, then a classification feature. This technicality has only be cleared up recently due to Isaac Fisher's research and community outreach with his blogs, and may be why you don't see the purpose in it, since you've been around Fandom for a long time.

My suggestion is just that, though, a suggestion. All-in-all, what I did is something primarily editors will see and use, and should not be seen by 99.5% of your wiki-traffic, which are just regular readers looking for information. Still, the way I handled categories in regards to the Category:Wiki Maintenance is based on Isaac Fisher's Fandom Best Practice Guide, and is a small example of how I would go and establish the category tree on, and when complete, should serve as a navigation feature that allows users to browse all pages on your site through categories (excluding Admin Dashboard pages), allowing them to find new things within Fire Force topics they are interested in. Again, with emphasis, this is just a suggestion, and if you really don't want me to, I will leave things as-is. Either way, what I'm doing will not affect DPL.
