I personally liked using them when I was testing a lot of games to know what to prioritize, but I know one person using the feature a year or two ago isn't really enough to warrant the category clutter. On the topic of which one to keep if they were trimmed down, I went back and looked at how old these revisions really were that the categories were picking up. As of right now:
  • 500 revisions = 1 month
  • 1000 revisions = 2 months
  • 2500 revisions = 5 months, 1 week
  • 5000 revisions = 1 year, 3 months
  • 10000 revisions = 2 years, 7 months
Considering that we have functionality that updates for 1/2/3 star ratings that have been untested for only 4 months, cutting down to 5000 revisions or 10000 revisions here seems a bit excessive. Though I agree that 500/1000 seem a bit pointless. - Xerxes (talk) 22:47, 12 July 2017 (CEST)
