I am a little bit confused as to what makes those different than the only categories. (I did not know about those anyways when Goandgoo asked for the category in {{exclusive}}) Possibly should be combined into one category or use those as a root category for things. It seems those are manually added instead of using a template anyways. –KnightMiner ^t/_c 22:11, 5 July 2017 (UTC)

It looks like they're set by {{Console Edition}} and {{Pocket Edition}} as well as being manually set sometimes. And because they're set by the template, they're on all the Editions pages (PS Vita Edition, etc.) I might spend some time syncing them up, as I just did with Mini Games, but admittedly not much time to do so at the moment ... – Sealbudsman ^talk/_contr 22:44, 5 July 2017 (UTC)

It looks like for console, there are the following pages: Console Edition version history, Console Edition mentioned features, Console Edition exclusive features and Console Edition removed features, as well as pages like Nintendo Switch Edition where it would be awkward to put the {{exclusive}} tag which gives it a Category:Console Edition only category.

Same for PE, though i havent looked at the whole list: Pocket Edition version history, Pocket Edition mentioned features, Pocket Edition exclusive features and Pocket Edition removed features, and Windows 10 Edition etc.

Maybe manually-set categories like Category:Console Edition articles, Category:Pocket Edition articles and Category:Java Edition articles would be appropriate, since these articles aren't single feature oriented, really? – Sealbudsman ^talk/_contr 15:48, 6 July 2017 (UTC)

Maybe they could just manually be set with Category:Console Edition only etc, I feel like we already have so many different Edition-specific categories and adding another 3 would make it even more confusing. –Goandgoo ᐸ Talk

+* {{escaped redlink|Category:Console Edition}}
-* [[:Category:Pocket Edition]]
+* {{escaped redlink|Category:Pocket Edition}}
