Why can you only list three categories on WikiAnswers questions?

You can only list three categories on WikiAnswers questions because a single question should only relate to a maximum of three categories.
For example, if you ask "What is the population of Canada?", it would go under Canada.
If you ask "What is the population of Canada and what are the rules to Canadian Basketball?", it would go under more than three categories. But, you should only ask one question in a single question, and not multiple questions in a single question (as shown here).

What is the reason for 'Suggested Categories' when you ask a question on WikiAnswers?
First, the reasons we have categories on WikiAnswers:-- To improve the chance that a question gets answered:Some members of the WikiAnswers community only care for questions about, say, Panda bears, and answer these questions with delight. Categorize a question in the "Pandas" sub-category and you get the attention of such members.-- To enable browsing for questions on similar subjects:Suppose you are answering a question about the tires of your Porsche Boxter. You may want to answer other questions about the Porsche Boxter, or learn from the answers of others on similar subjects. The "Porsche Boxter" category, and its parent categories, are your friends.Having established that categories are a good thing, we want to make categorizing a question as painless as possible. Going through a list of over 5,500 categories is not fun. Therefore, we have added the ability to search through categories, as well as the automatically suggested categories.We hope that this feature makes it easy to ask questions that will get their proper answer.

The second way to get to the list of categories is to click on the words "Browse categories" under "Site tools" in the blue bar on the left of every page.
Why are humorous questions not separated from the rest of the questions on WikiAnswers?
They are; Humorous questions are found under the humor categories, which include "Humor and Amusement Corner" "Jokes and Riddles" and other clearly marked humor categories. If you see a humorous question that is not in the appropriate category, please recategorize it or contact a supervisor. A list of supervisors can be found at the list below. Humor in answers to questions not in the humor categories should be under the correct answer to the question and clearly marked with "On the Lighter Side" or some other mark to indicate that the humor is not part of the answer.
