Forum:Categorizing characters as Category:Characters

Recently i edited some entries of different characters (Willie Scott, Pablo Picasso etc) and added them to the Category:Characters, even though they are already categorized in the sub-categories to that (love interests, allies, etc.), which Adamkenobi later undid.

here's my reason of why i felt they should be both in their respective sub-categories and in the general category:

someone new to this wiki not knowing how the sub-categories are organized would look at the Characters list and wonder why a major character like Willie (or Marion Ravenwood) is not on the list of characters. thus to me, anyone making an appearance should be listed in Characters, even if they are also listed in any of the sub-categories. it makes our Characters list look more complete, rather than simply being characters that don't fit any of the sub-categories (which if we ruled out all the Allies, Love Interests, and Enemies of Indy, our character list would look pretty shabby to any newcomer -- where's the main characters?)

thus i support having all characters, no matter what subcategories they belong to, also belong to Category:Characters which means that probably Indiana Jones should be listed there too.

however, if there is a reason why characters shouldn't be listed in Category:Characters, please let me know.
