The logic behind that is that "males" and "females" are the only categories that we need. I don't know if Horizon told you, but gendered categories do not need to be mixed with those that describe age, career, etc. It leads to many possibilities.

"female students"

"Akademi High females"

"Japanese females"

"female club members"

"female loners"

"female magi"

"female teachers"

"female OCs"

And so on. It's like in good old algebraic probabilities: Say one bag (gender) has a bunch of marbles, each differently colored to represent a segment of the gender spectrum.

The other bag (academics) also has differently colored marbles, each representing another position at Akademi High. One of these marbles is labeled "students."

The system Horizon, Crystal, and I want to follow is simple: We have one category for each marble alone.

The categories you are using mixes these bags. You take one marble from the "gender" bag and one marble from the "status" bag. This doesn't add category possibilties; It multiplies them. But the categories you form out of each two marbles are too much. They only restate information over and over again, so much that it can be considered spam. Extra clarification is nice; It adds detail to the wiki.

But multiplication is too much. That's why we need to use a simpler system. If a mixed category is considered important enough by the wikia, we can add it, such as deriving "_____'s OCs" from the "OCs" category. But other than those, mixed categories are too much.
