The system isn't perfect. I don't know the details, but it probably looks for keywords in your question and stuff.

Why does WikiAnswers not always suggest categories when you ask a question?

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.


How do you merge categories on WikiAnswers?

There is no easy way to merge categories at this time. If you think that two categories should be merged, you can write to WikiAnswers @ Answers.com (without spaces) and request it.Another possibility is that you have run into a "mirror" category, where the same category with the exact same questions shows up in two different places within our category tree. We do this sometimes to make them easier to find if they are popular in different areas.

Why does WikiAnswers never answer your question?

Sometimes it can take a while. There are over 7,000 categories, and who knows how many questions. What I would suggest is to rephrase the question and ask it again. Make sure to categorize the question under the best category/categories [up to 3], that it would fall under.


How many questions have been recategorized on WikiAnswers?
