Category:Very large categories

Categories that contain too many pages, and require attention to reduce their size, are listed here. If suitable subcategories do not exist, they should be created; pages should then be re-categorized as appropriate.

Use  to add a category here. If a category requires constant maintenance, rather than a one-time recategorization, use Category diffuse instead. Some categories intentionally contain many pages, such as categories populated by certain templates; these categories do not need to be tagged.

As of May 9, 2012, six of these categories directly contain more than 1,000 articles:
 * Category:20th-century American novels
 * Category:21st-century American novels
 * Category:Articles using diversity taxobox
 * Category:Emmy Award winners
 * Category:Given names
 * Category:United States government images
