Forum:CT Archive/Layout Guide change for categories

Not too long ago, I was reviewing a Good article nomination, and I seen that one or more categories were missing from the article. The article I was reviewing did have categories, but not all that it could have had. I was going to bring it up as an objection, but another user pointed out to me that the Layout Guide currently states that articles are not required to have more than one category. I, as I'm sure many others, have always tried to include as many proper categories into articles as possible. For example, if an article could have Category:Individuals of unidentified species, Category:Males, and Category:Unidentified individuals, I would include them all. According to the LG, however, an article does not need to have all those categories; it could get by with only Category:Males or any one of the others.

The Category section of the Layout Guide currently reads:

I propose to change the Layout Guide to read:

This would officially make it so that all categories that are proper in a certain article must be placed in that article.
