WikiAnswers adds new topics on an almost daily basis. As the amount of questions and answers increases related to a specific topic it is added. There are currentlt 5,280 categories on WikiAnswers.
Various members of the Community Development team create new categories on WikiAnswers.
On average, about two to three categories are requested every day on WikiAnswers. Categories are usually reviewed weekly by Community Assistants. See related questions for more information on requesting categories.
We don't add categories every day. We usually add them once a week... but if you averaged out the amount per day, it might be about 1 or 2, depending on the week.
You propose categories you can't make them yourself and you must have an account on WikiAnswers, then here tinyurl [dot] com/q78szew
WikiAnswers suggests categories for a new question based on the categories of existing similar questions (and answers). Sometimes, WikiAnswers does not find enough similar questions to form an opinion about the suggested category.Possible reasons for this are:The question is about a subject new to WikiAnswers.The question only contains "stop" words (e.g., "the," "of," "what"), for example "Who should ask to be or not to be?"The question is gibberish.If none of the above applies, this may be a bug, and you are welcome to report it to WikiAnswers' support team.
"WikiAnswers Local" is a placeholder category for questions about certain countries. No new questions should be added to the main "WikiAnswers Local" category.
Probably none - there are new questions submitted in every category on a daily basis. Not every new question will be answered immediately.
First, go onto the front page of WikiAnswers. Below the "New Questions" box, you will see a box with all of the major categories. Underneath "Technology" one of the subcategories will be computers. Click on that, and you have found the computer category.
If you'd like to see a new category added to WikiAnswers, contact Support: WASupport@answers.com. If you'd like to add a new thread to the Community Forum, contact a Supervisor or Support.
