And then there is a big risk some other things will break.
Deeper nesting category structure is a solid way to get off topics and difficult searches.
I give an example.
Topic includes
- working dogs
- that are eating raw food and dry food
- has some skin issues
- and needs some nutraceuticals
Should such topic be found in
- dogs → breeds → working dogs
- food → styles → raw or dry food
- health → skin → skin of fur → allergies or something else
- nutrition → nutraceuticals or functional ones → vitamins, minerals, fats, proteins or something else
And if we go deeper — should e.g. vitamins have 4th level where can be found vitamins A, B, E, D etc. Minerals are much wider question.
But there is a solution \0/ : tags
Categories have only one level, perhaps two in some cases. And everything else is done using tags.
I challenge all admins who are so sure multileveling is must, giving to an ordinary user task to
- create a topic in right category
- find something
