I'm writing a review listing the top 10 best anniversary stories of 2013. I was, understandably, surprised when I discovered that the categories which had served as immensely useful in the previous work on this article and the sorting of the wiki wee now deleted. May I ask why? It makes writing my article about a billion times more impossible and seems to serve absolutely no purpose. Why were these categories deleted and how low must I get on my knees to get them back? Is there a list elsewhere on the wiki??
