===Why the specific categorisation rules?===
One of the main goals of the wiki is to help individuals find the right term. Imagine a label that only fits under the Gender category, piled in with other specific genders like Fingender, and Non-Binary. It becomes almost impossible to find. By restricting specific terms to specific categories, it avoids article crowding, meaning that more obscure and general labels are more easily found.
For an example, using the Wikipedia article [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cricket Cricket]. This page belongs to the Team Sports category. However if it were to inherit every other category above it, it would belong to Team Sports, Team Activities, Teams, Social Groups, Society, Humans, Hominina, Hominini, Homininae, Apes, so on, so on - you get the picture. It's unnecessary and messy. Categorising Cricket simply as a Team Sport is fine as it's already implying that it's an Activity, Team based, a Social Group, etc. The same goes with something like a -Coric gender, that is an Aesthetigender, Xenogender, and Gender, by nature.
