Supervisors should be well-rounded in terms of their knowledge of the site. That includes knowing how to ask, answer, edit, and recategorize questions properly.

How do you become a Category Supervisor on WikiAnswers?
According to the Help Center of WikiAnswers:A Category Supervisor oversees one or more categories of interest. Often, those employed (or hobbyists) in a certain field will choose to supervise their category of expertise.You must meet the requirements for being a Supervisor. Then you can become either a "Floating" Supervisor or a Category Supervisor. If there is a specific category that you have knowledge in, either by virtue of a hobbyist's knowledge and experience or a professional background, you might be able to supervise it, or join the existing Supervisors.Or you can request the creation of a new category and can then Supervise that category. (See Related question.)Please write to support @ Answers.com for more information (remove the spaces).Other infoContribute through good answers and proper category re-categorizations for a few weeks/months. Good work never goes unnoticed. Some category supervisor would spot your good work and would offer extra responsibilities to you. If one or more of the supervisors feel you would be able to make a good supervisor, they would recommend you for the position and you can get it.Remember, it can be got only by merit and not by request. Just because someone wants to be a supervisor, he cannot become one. Only if the existing supervisors feel he would be eligible and effective as a supervisor, the responsibility would be entrusted on him.Category Supers are typically either employed in the category field, are hobbyists, or like myself, longtime experts in the area due to both training, experience, etc. Most Supervisors begin at a lower level and work their way up, or like me are invited to become a Supervisor based on contributions to the site - Answers, Edits, etc. To be a Supervisor, you must be at least 15. There are also other Wiki Programs you can enter as well. To find out more, click on the "Help" link at the top of you Answers.com page, then go to the Contributors section, and click on Programs. The various WA Programs available are there, including the Supers program. I've added the basic requirements below; you can see the entire page at the Help Center.What will get you noticed is the quality of your answers, not necessarily the quantity. If there is a particular Category you're interested in, let me know and I'll forward your name for consideration. Remember though that you must meet the basic requirements regardless, and we do check your contributions.Would you like to be a Supervisor?Because Supervisors have so much power we need to make sure they understand how WikiAnswers works.

Could two Category Supervisors supervise the same subcategory?
There can actually be a multiple number of supervisors in one category, I've once seen 4 supervisors in one category! But it depends on how busy the category is, sometimes and usually the category may need more then just 1 supervisor for one category of interest. So there are usually a multiple number of supervisors, supervising a category. But usually less than 5, but hey, the more the merrier!
How do you remove questions from the Uncategorized category?
Simply edit the question - and choose up to three categories. Once a question has been allocated at least one category - it is removed from the 'uncategorized' section.
When asking questions on WikiAnswers should you categorize your questions in the Catch-All Questions category?
The only reason you should ever categorize any question into the Catch-All Questions category is if the question you found was a question that which violates WikiAnswers' Terms of Use policy.The Terms of Use information is linked in the footer of every page on WikiAnwers on the left hand side. It is the first link in the second row of links in the footer of every page (and it is also linked in the Related Links for this Q&A). You should not categorize these types of questions into the Catch-All Questions category if it is the answer that which violates our Terms of Use - it should just be the question itself that which violates them.While many users believe that categorizing his or her questions into the Catch-All Questions category will be more likely to be viewed, it is highly unlikely that his or her questions will receive a quick, proper, and accurate answer while in that category.Most likely, your question will only be recognized as long as it takes to categorize it into another category (far, far away from the Catch-All Questions category) by a supervisor. It may even be edited into proper grammar and without misspellings if it contains any or merged into an existing question that is asking for the same information as it is.Any and all questions will be removed from the Catch-All Questions category immediately if they do not belong within one of the catch-all questions themselves for protection (ie, a violation of the WikiAnswers' Terms of Use).So, it is pointless to waste your time putting your questions into the Catch-All Questions category. For best results, you should place your question into up to three categories that are directly related to your question so that another user who is interested in the subject of your question will find it much more quickly and easily and will provide you with a timely answer.
