Indeed, such a category may be useful, and it would be inline with our already existing tycoons category. In fact, I have been considering such categories for our in-construction games portal.

However, Anzu does have a point regarding having some manner of approval before going forth and throwing a whole bunch of articles into the "fangames" metaphorical kettle.

We have a categories system we try to maintain as to minimize the existence of trivial categories any one editor may create, such as (to go to an extreme...) "Games I like." Per our policies for decision making, there needs to be an established consensus amongst editors for the creation of that category.

However, doing such a thing for every single proposed category would be arduous. As such, as our policy currently stands, this would typically fall under the clause that states that "decisions that are trivial ... may be taken by anyone with the ability to apply them" and we would simply delete any category that does not fit the context of our current categories.

That said, we should perhaps lump this in with other "custom" game genre categories and decide the fate of all such categories on our wiki. I suggest starting a proposal in Board:Wiki discussion.
