A while ago, one of the lists was discussing "technical" categories for
articles. As far as I remember, many liked the idea to mark, for
example, a biography as such, so all biographies could be listed
automatically, searches could be limited to biographies, etc.
Nothing was ever heard of since.
It seems especially the Germans have a tendency for these categories.
They have lists which they keep up-to-date manually, but IMHO they'll
fail in the near future.
I put my proposal on meta
(http://meta.wikipedia.com/wiki.phtml?title=Technical_categories_in_Wikipedia).
Please comment and develop.
