Categories which have a main article: Removed unnecessary section.

A category page should contain a brief description of the purpose of the category.
A category page should contain a brief description of the purpose of the category.
A prominent link to the most important article in the category is usually a good idea, but please avoid copying large quantities of text or images from an article to a category page.  If a category and a page have a one-to-one correspondence, then the template {{tl|main}} or similar is often the best solution.  Introductions should be short and only navigation templates that facilitate moving between categories or category pages can be included.

===Categories which have a main article===
''Take [[Wikipedia:John Lennon|John Lennon]] and [[Wikipedia:Category:John Lennon|Category:John Lennon]] or [[Wikipedia:The KLF|The KLF]] and [[Wikipedia:Category:The KLF|Category:The KLF]]. Should all category memberships which relate to Lennon or the KLF (but not to, for example, the state of the article) be added to [[Wikipedia:Category:John Lennon|Category:John Lennon]]/[[Wikipedia:Category:The KLF|The KLF]] and removed from the article? That would seem to follow from literal interpretation of the "no categorizing into a subcategory and category at once" rule, but it forces readers to click an extra time and hides relationships from them.''
The article should be left in those categories it would belong to if it had no category of its own; see [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Categorization and subcategories#Topic article rule|Wikipedia:Topic article rule]] as well as [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Categorization#Some general guidelines|Wikipedia:Categorization guidelines]].
