I wanted to confer with you before I made a decision on a matter. New user LOLSKELINGTONS created this category. Putting aside the syntax issue, it raises an interpretive question vis-a-vis the Categorization Policy. The Policy allows "specially created categories to fit a certain fan series", but this section goes on to ban "Subcategories [of the main "Articles by " category] such as "Characters by ", "Governments by ", "Weapons by ".

The question is, does LOLSKELLINGTON's category constitute a legitimate "specially created category" to fit his fan series, or is it merely an attempted end run around the ban on user-based sub-categories (i.e., since LOLSKELLINGTON is the author of the KotOR: Quinlain's Story series, all characters in it are his characters)? And as a corollary issue, what about collaborative works by multiple users—would that have a different ruling, since "Characters in X series" is not necessarily synonymous with "Characters by Y author"?
