Network Category Changes
This is a announcement update of new categories and category changes for the Hobbies and Recreation, People Miscellany, Objects, Calendar Events, Academia, TV/Movie/Book Miscellany, Politics and Organisations, Arts and Design, Computer Miscellany and Internet, Miscellaneous, Places, General category.
For the past few weeks, we have been discussing some changes to the Miscellaneous category. Our reason for this is that the category is meant to be a last-resort place for fanlistings that are unable to be placed elsewhere, but the category had over 500 fanlistings! We decided either 1) to move subjects to other, more suitable categories or 2) to create new categories based on fanlistings currently found in Miscellaneous. We hope these changes will make TFL easier to navigate.
Below are a list of the changes that have been made to TFL:
Category Changes:
Politics has been re-named to “Politics and Organisations”:
* Organisations fanlistings were moved from Miscellaneous
* the Flags subcategory was moved from Miscellaneous into the new Flags subcategory

Computers/Internet/Appliances has been renamed “Computer Miscellany and Internet”
* Tools/Appliances was moved from this category to Objects
* Some fanlistings from Computers/Operating Systems subcategory were moved to Objects
