Most Wikis avoid putting articles directly in general categories, when a sub-category is more specific. For example there are usually no articles directly in the "writers" category on Wikipedia; rather they are in one (or more) sub-categories.

I agree that having only some character articles directly in "characters" would be confusing, which is why I would make sure that each article was in a more informative sub-category. The same would be true for space-born and Earth-born (regardless of what we call them) i.e. someone would only be directly in one of those two groups, if we did not know what faction to put the with.

Whatever we name them I think we actually agree on the basic breakdown (i.e. except for some of the group names, my structure pretty much matched yours)
 * characters
 * born in space ("Ark born" or "Sky People")
 * went to Earth in pilot, or joined them before Ark reentry (currently "Delinquents", I prefer "The 100" since that what the show calls them.)
 * Ark leaders (I suggested "Ark Officers" because IIRC that show use such a term)
 * everyone else born in space (this is the hardest group to name well. I suggested "Ark Citizen", since unlike "the 100" they still follow the Ark leadership.)
 * born on Earth&Dagger; (there all "Grounders", which is why is suggested "Clan Grounder" asa sub category)
 * the clans&Dagger; (i.e. "Clan Grounder" as opposed to just any grounder")
 * Reapers
 * MM

&Dagger; Which (if either) of these is named simply "Grounder", and which is disambiguated, is not that important. As long as we pick one and go with it, it should be clear going forward what we mean.

If your worried about confusion from a change being only partially implemented, I volunteer to make any and all changes required all at once on the first Sunday morning after we decide whatever we decide. I.e. Casual users/editors will see one consistent implementation.
