There is no set number of questions, but there should be approximately 50. Beyond this the main requirement is that there be a participant who is enthusiastic about participating in the topic area, and ideally, supervising it.

For a certain topic to have a new category created for it, it needs to be justified - there needs to be over 100 current questions relevant to that topic. Though an internet celebrity, there just isn't that much one could ask about Eduard Khil, so any questions about him could go under one of the internet categories.

What are the guidelines for suggesting a new category?
There are only 2. 1. Make sure the category you'd like to suggest does not already exist. 2. We ask that you do a search of all WikiAnswers questions pertaining to the topic of the category you'd like to suggest. If more then 100 results come forth that relate to that topic then it's worth making a category for. How to: Select the "Search" option at the top-right of any page on WikiAnswers, search in "Questions" and type in the category you'd like to suggest. Let's say the category you'd like to suggest is Pizza, type "Pizza" in the search bar and if 100+ results come up, it's a category worth suggesting. After that, you may contact a Community Assistant and they will consider that category for creation.
