Explain your difficulty please.. Is it hard to find an existing article in the hiearchy or is it hard to categorize a new article?

Ideally, articles covering similar topics should be children of the same category. When writing a new article, it might be difficult finding the "correct" category for it. But that isn't critical, assigning the topmost category "Browse" or even no category at all has no negative effect on an article; it just makes it more difficult to find. If the article is good enough, someone will categorize it... eventually. This is a team effort after all.

One problem, as I see it, is that many categories are orphans, meaning that they lack parents. There is nothing we can do about that since some category pages are protected by the admin.
