I've seen far too many new users add unnecessary and unacceptable categories to pages as of late, so I figured it best now to address it. Not many months ago me and the rest of administration had narrowed down the number of categories to only a specific handful to clean up organization and simplify category navigation. However it seems new users failed to see this. Below this opening message will be a list of acceptable categories. All users are to strictly adhere to this whether they like it or not. Acceptable categories are as follows Tornadoes

Violent Tornadoes

Deadly Tornadoes

Destructive Tornadoes

Outbreaks

Super Outbreaks

Outbreak Sequences

Super Outbreak Sequences

Violent Outbreaks

Deadly Outbreaks

Destructive Outbreaks

Tornado Seasons

Violent Tornado Seasons

Deadly Tornado Seasons

Destructive Tornado Seasons

Tornadoes of [Insert Year]

EF5 Tornadoes

Fun Stuff

This is all that is allowed, and each category has an obvious use to them with an obvious description. If you cannot see where it is acceptable to apply these then it is not an error of mine or the admins but an error of you. But in case you lack the mental capacity, Violent Tornadoes describes a tornado that has produced violent indicators, such as scoured pavement, and applies 100% to any EF4+ tornadoes. Destructive Tornadoes refers to any tornado that is exceptionally destructive. This does not apply to a tornado than only destroyed a couple houses, rather it only applies to a tornado that strikes suburban areas and inflicts 100 million or more in damages. Deadly Tornadoes specifically define a tornado that is directly the result of loss of life, however in reference to Deadly Tornado Seasons it means any season with an exceptional death toll, typically greater than 100. I hope these small tidbits help you understand how to use these categories properly. Violations of what is acceptable will result in reverted edits, with repeated offenses resulting in bans and blocks.
