About wikignoming
In general, WikiGnomes do behind-the-scenes maintenance work. Examples of WikiGnoming activities include fighting vandalism, tagging pages for speedy deletion (both of which you're great at already), making browsing of Wikipedia easier, wiki-cleanup, creation of categories and templates, etc. WikiGnomes are friendly, like WikiFairies and WikiElves. I personally consider myself to be a "WikiGnelf" &mdash; my own made-up word for a WikiElf-WikiGnome combo platter. ;P

What I recommend
I see that you're a member of WP:STARWARS; to be vague, perhaps you could take a run-through of categories within the scope of that project, use any templates (i.e. Star Wars) to help you, and add the necessary categories to the articles? Or, you could go through Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Uncategorized and add the appropriate categories to articles listed in that page. HotCat would be a huge help there. With regards to the former task, I recently performed it on the Livin' on Borrowed Time article, using Puddle of Mudd (a template that I recently created) to help me. Good luck, T'Shael! :D &rarr;  Dylan 620  (Toolbox Alpha, Beta) 17:16, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Hey Dylan, I'm sorry that it has taken so long to respond but circumstances IRL have been ... strange lately, so I haven't been able to be on much. Hopefully I will be able to be on more now that things have settled down for me. Anyway, I appreciate the suggestions and will start working on categorizing articles that need it. A question: is there some big list somewhere of all the categories that Wikipedia has? It would be good for me to read over that. Also, installed HotCat and love it. :) Thanks again, T'Shael,   Lord of the Vulcans  01:50, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
 * My guess is that there are tens of thousands of categories; a list of all of them can be found at Special:PrefixIndex/Category:, though here's a quick link to all the Star Wars-related ones. Good luck with HotCat! :D &rarr;  Dylan 620  (Toolbox Alpha, Beta) 11:31, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
