Umm, please don't do that. Users themselves should be the sole deciders of

See nowI don't see a lot of value in categorizing articles this way.
I'm not even certain that being a Wikipedian is a notable enough category
to include for an article, let alone being a *female* Wikipedian. The
standard for including someone in a category is that the category is
I agree that user categories should not be mixed up with article
categories. Being a Wikipedian isn't necessarily notable.
And for the record I don't choose to self-identify by placing myself in
to very many user categories, just ones that relate to getting the job
of editing done. There's

Aww, Sarah - I see you've already added those categories to Valerie Aurora's
