Navigating in finiki using categories

In a discussion on DRIPs, forum member pmj reports that he could not find the DRIP page on finiki. He was looking at the Investment management category. DRIPs are in the Investment styles‎ subcategory of the Investment Management category. Therefore, unless you click on Investment styles‎, you won't find DRIPs. This probably needs to be improved. Any ideas? --Quebec 04:40, 26 December 2016 (MST)

My first thinking of DRIP is not as an investment style, so I would agree with pmj. How can DRIP be found? As noted in your Financial Wisdom Forum post: "Re: Early Start, Early Retirement? Critique my initial portfolio", DRIP can be found in the search box. DRIP is also linked in Template:Dividend sidebar and Template:Investment styles sidebar. A few pages were missing a sidebar menu, which is now fixed. --LadyGeek 19:36, 26 December 2016 (MST)
My question is more general than how to find DRIPs. When looking at the Investment management category, shouldn't we see the 18 pages in the Investment styles‎ subcategory already, without having to click on Investment styles 1st (after guessing that DRIPs may be hiding in there)? Is the solution simply to tag all Investment styles articles with Investment management as well, i.e. use both the category and the subcategory?--Quebec 06:32, 27 December 2016 (MST)
There is a further distinction between Investment style and Investment strategies, as discussed in Category talk:Investment styles. Pages can contain multiple categories. There is no requirement to maintain a hierarchy of categories, so I think tagging a page with both Investment styles and Investment management is a good approach. Wikipedia provides guidance: Wikipedia:FAQ/Categorization. --LadyGeek 18:25, 27 December 2016 (MST)
