The fact that this article isn't categorized is voluntary.

About the "Please note" just below, is everyone thinking the same way?

No, it should still have Categories just as all the branching articles that WangBot made have Categories. Using this same logic, all the "Creating a _ Ability" articles are categorized even though they could just be redirected from the "Effect - Target" article.

I dislike how all those branching articles have Categories. :P It really clutters the Categories' pages. :/

Isn't that the point of using the StarCraft II Category to list all the articles? This Wiki should have hundreds of articles ultimately, so it is supposed to be cluttered.

The same articles aren't repeated multiple times. Here let me start over because we're not really talking about the same thing. This article is one way of making a leaderboard. The Leaderboard article should be about leaderboards in general, not just one method for making a leaderboard (like this article). They can both exist at the same time, and the Leaderboard article can link to this as a "See Also." The specific tutorial pages need to branch out from something else (like Creating an Instant Effect Ability can be an example for Effect - Instant), so both the basic explanation of leaderboards and this specific example of a type of leaderboard can co-exist in the category. Technically, for example, a "jump" ability is also an "Effect - Target" but you wouldn't learn that from Creating a Missile Ability. So we need more basic pages that branch out to other more detailed examples/tutorials.
