MyWikiBiz features semantic tags which allow users to do some pretty amazing things. Over on Wikipedia, you might see handfuls of Categories to classify articles about aviation disasters. Goofy categories like:

  • Accidents and incidents on commercial airliners in the United States
  • Accidents and incidents on commercial airliners in Florida
  • Accidents and incidents on commercial airliners in Kentucky
  • Airliner crashes caused by instrument failure
  • Airliner crashes caused by pilot error
  • Aviation accidents and incidents in 1972
  • Aviation accidents and incidents in 1989

Frankly, we at MyWikiBiz think this sort of "category creep" is maddening. Wouldn't the user interested in airliner accidents be much better served by something like this?
