- A newspaper is a periodical. Therefore links to all articles about newspapers belong in the main category "Periodicals". This is for the convenience of someone who is interested in all types of periodicals, whether newspapers or magazines.
- Newspaper articles should also be included in a subcategory "Newspapers", and this is for the convenience of those who are exclusively interested in newspapers articles.
- A magazine is a periodical, too. Therefore links to all articles about magazines belong in the main category "Periodicals". This is for the convenience of someone who is interested in all types of periodicals, newspapers as well as magazines.
- Magazine articles should also be included in a subcategory "Magazines". This is for the convenience of those who are exclusively interested in magazines.
- Therefore, within the subcategories "Newpapers" and "Magazines," each relevant articles displays another link.
- This is a system of redundancy, which allows someone to avoid all links to newspapers by going directly to the "Magazine" category, if he wishes.
- And this allows someone to avoid all links to magazines by going directly to the "Newpaper" category, if he wishes.
- Do you not understand how this system works? For the convenience of the reader, you include one main category, which contains links to all newspaper and magazine articles.
- Then, for the convenience of a smaller group of readers, who have more specific interests, you include subcategories containing duplicate links to only that relevant content.
