The Class and Catalog namespaces do not support subpages; the Community namespace does, for places. Groups could not have group places, except though an ancient feature that wasn't supported anymore and that nobody was using. So it would make more sense to have group pages in the Community namespace now.

Still, namespaces are about types of content, not about subjects. We already have Category:Community, which does include Category:Groups and Category:Players as subcategories. We don't need a second system for categorizing articles by subject.

It's not clear to me right now that my original reasoning for moving articles about players and places to a separate namespace was right. I thought they were a different type of content from other articles, but now I don't. While I do consider catalog pages and (especially) class pages a different type.

(I also thought tutorials belonged in the main namespace in 2013, and I don't anymore. But we also have a Tutorial namespace now.)

If anything I would remove the Community namespace and move all pages back. I don't necessarily suggest doing that, but since I'd nearly consider it a good idea I certainly don't think we should add more pages to the Community namespace. I think we should leave group pages in the main namespace.

There are two other issues. The first is that the group infobox template does not categorize group pages if they are anywhere other than the main namespace. So right now we have many group pages that are not categorized at all because they were moved to the Community namespace. The second is that Wikia does not support custom content namespaces correctly because most wikis don't have them and some things that should work for all content namespaces only work for the main namespace. I don't remember what the problems were and it seems both the search and the wiki activity work with our custom namespaces, so maybe the problems were fixed. Or maybe I'm misremembering and the problems weren't about search or the wiki activity page. The JoTS might know more about this.
