Many different people. Often it is the person who requests the category, but sometimes it could be someone who does the research and realizes the spelling needs to be corrected, or a category should encompass something else, or any of a number of other things. Or, someone sees that a category name needs to be changed, and asks to have it changed.

How long does it take for a requested category to be set up on WikiAnswers?
It may take a few days for your category request to be approved and added by a Community Assistant onto WikiAnswers.

For the most chance of getting a category added remember to include in the email where it would be placed and if there are sufficient questions to fill it (we look for 50+ questions in the category before making it, however exceptions can be made).

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.
