:Category:Overpopulated categories
{{Wikipedia category|tracking=yes|hidden=yes|container=yes}}
{{Category see also|Categories requiring diffusion}}
Categories that contain too many pages, and require attention to reduce their size, are listed here. If suitable subcategories do not exist, they should be created; pages should then be re-categorized as appropriate.
Use {{tl|Overpopulated category}} to add a category here. If a category requires constant maintenance, rather than a one-time recategorization, use {{tl|Category diffuse}} instead. Some categories intentionally contain many pages, such as categories populated by certain templates; these categories do not need to be tagged.
