I am undoing edits that are unnecessary or irrelevant. For example:
 * You added the Characters Category to the Mr. Plow (quest chain) page. A quest chain is not a character.
 * You added the Man-made Decorations and Non-Controllable Characters categories to the Jake's Unisex Hair Palace page. A building is neither a decoration nor a character. It's a building.
 * You added the Non Premium Items and Limited Time categories to the Characters category. You don't add categories to categories, you add the categories to the corresponding articles.
 * You added a paragraph listing all the Aspirational Buildings on the Fortress of Choclitude page, repeating exactly what can be seen in the Buildings Template.
 * You added "It is not known wether or not this limited time character will return." to the Bunny 24601 page. 1) It is unnecessary to add that since it is in the Limited Time category. 2) You spelled whether wrong.

Edits like these, especially adding the wrong Categories to the wrong articles will be undone.

All categories pertaining to decorations (ex: Man-made Decorations, Decorations etc:) should only go on decorations.

Just because a character has a task at a building doesn't mean that you add that category to the article, For Example, just because Kirk Van Houten has a job at the Office of Unemployment doesn't mean that you add the Van Houtens category to the Office of Unemployment page, because the Van Houtens category is a character category, and the Office of Unemployment is not a character.

Just because a limited time character belongs to a specific Character Category doesn't mean you add the Limited Time category to the Character Category because the character was limited time, not the category. For example Mindy Simmons was limited time, and part of the Valentine's Day 2014 Event. She is also part of the Plant Workers Category. That doesn't mean that you add both those categories to the Plant Workers one, because 1) It doesn't apply to all the characters in that category. 2) The category is not limited time. 3) The category was not part of during the Valentine's Event.

Besides all this, adding articles into the wrong categories is against the editing policy. This is taken directly from the The Simpsons: Tapped Out Wiki:Editing Policy page:

"Do not add random categories. Please ask an admin before creating a new category (feel free to add appropriate existing ones). The only exception to this, is that users with special privileges (such as chat moderators and rollbacks) are considered trusted users, and therefore don't have to ask for permission before creating new categories."

For this reason, I have undone your edits, and any others of this kind will be undone. If you have any further questions to why I have undone your edits or how to correctly use categories, let me know. Do realize though that this is a warning, further misuse of Categories will result in a block.

Finally, I am not against anyone else editing on this Wiki. It's highly encouraged that many users appropriately contribute to it, as it is a community project. All the editors here are just here to provide relevant information for other players or people who want a place where they can interact with other players. I am all for everyone editing. What I am against is vandalism, spam, incorrect edits, or anything along those lines.
