Hello! Can someone help me out to make a category list for WWTBAM? I've only seen two categories (Entertainment - Theater and Music & Musicians - Classical) shown in the YouTube video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EzLGKloXgoA). I'm stuck on creating categories because some topics are too narrow like zodiac signs, national anthems, armed forces, etc. Also, some topics are somewhere in between like road signs (is it under Geography or Travel & Transport?). Lastly, some topics are too broad like Science and History. Here's the screenshot:  drive.google.com/open?id=1A-IWMQAyo97mjhakVC--fePMrJCOuBEnThanks! |

I'd stick with the Category - Subcategory strategy if I were you. Whenever you feel your topic is too narrow, treat it as a subcategory, and as a main category when it's too broad. For example, I'd put zodiac signs as a subcategory to the main category Astrology, national anthems to Music (or Geography, depending on the question itself) and armed forces to, say. Jobs (or perhaps Politics, again depending on the content of the question).
Road signs I'd put under Travel & Transport. Maybe use Geography for everything that concerns natural structures and human settlements, and Travel & Transport for everything that connects the settlements/land masses, etc., as well as tourism.
It might be smart to look up your tentative categories on Wikipedia, since it uses the same hierarchical structure, only more elaborate. What's most important is that you find a system that works for you. If you can't decide where to put a question, imagine where you'd look first if you wanted to check whether you've written a similar question already, and put the question in that category.

Thank you for the reply! But I have another question.
The question "Which of the following is both a type of pepper and the name of a capital city?" consists of two categories: 'Nature - Plants' and 'Geography - Countries & Cities'. Is this considered as a 'hybrid' category? Thanks!
