I'll put the relative dearth of test cases using the wiki model as exhibit A. And, the category thing isn't _really_ that simple: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_package_test_plan_creation#Simple_.28required.29_categorization is *definitely* the level to which someone who isn't working with mediawiki categories and probably our SOP for this in general might just say... never mind. And I'm not even talking about the "Advanced (optional) categorization". > > More wiki categories? :) > > Well, no, that wouldn't work, as we don't have one wiki page per > criterion.

But anyway, the anchor links are a *little* fragile, but maybe could work. But why _not_ have one page per criterion?
