So, I've started a type of category for groups of items - similar to a "themed" category, these categories include items that come from a variety of different places during different times, but are still very clearly part of the same...general...group of things.
I've implemented one for "Culinary Items" - what do you guys think?
I'd like to continue the idea with "Celebratory Items" (which include Anniversary and New Years - already mentioned on the Party Hat, Blowout, and other pages).
Purpose: so people can find similar items without cluttering up the individual pages of those items with long lists of things. This is similar to "this other idea here."
In theory, I prefer a simple "See Also". But you're right that there would be too many See Alsos. Your system seems to be working well in the Culinary case.
