Embedding categories in categories

For category pages with lots of entries, it may make sense to organize things under various headings.

To accomplish this we have created the ability to embed categories in their parent category.

See the Data Types page for an example of this.

Currently, the ability to do this is restricted to admins, but if you come across a category page that could benefit from this, please contact us. Please include a proposed categorization plan. For the Data Types page, a suggested plan would look like this:
