I can see that Old Dickens isn't happy about this being under short stories, as well as this there are several other works that don't fit this category but are included anyway, such as songs, poems and a speech, as this is the most suitable category for them to fall under. A possible solution would be to rename Short Stories to Short Fiction. This category would be more inclusive towards various types of shorter fiction already included allowing for something like Troll Bridge to still be classified as a Short Story and An Ode to Multiple Universes to be classed as a Poem but for both to appear in the same category.

We discussed this problem before, but what's the value of a "miscellaneous" or such category if it means "uncategorised"? Likewise, categories of one don't make much sense: might as well leave the oddballs uncategorised or stick them somewhere close, like this. (There might be a category like "Background" for things like this, Diaries,Thud-A Historical Perspective and such.) --Old Dickens (talk) 19:35, 22 September 2015 (UTC)
