To know why WikiAnswers doesn't allow you to add categories, we need to think what WikiAnswers would be like if you could.
If you could add your own categories on a whim, then WikiAnswers would be overflowed with nonsense categories such as "Bob" and "Flkdfjsl;". "Bob" cannot be a category because we do not know who Bob is, since there are thousands of Bobs in the world. "Flkdfjsl;" cannot be a category because it is just complete nonsense.
Questions would be mistakenly recategorized into "Flkdfjsl;", such as "What is Canada's population?".
Categories like "Bob" and "Flkdfjsl;" would be made, and thousands like these a day would be created, which is way too much for the system and the Supervisors to handle.
Suggesting Categories
You can, however, suggest a cateory be created. First, make sure that the category you want to suggest would have at least 100 potential questions or more. Then, email Categories @ WikiAnswers.com (remove spaces) to suggest your category. You must provide a 2-3 sentence description of the category when you email, and also give your WikiAnswers username.
