:::::::I think that there should both be a manually-created page as SnakeChomp says, '''and''' categories for automatic sorting. Categories are useful for all kinds of reasons, ''especially'' if Bethesda OK's my WikiBot (need to bug them about that some more). Categories really ought to be primarily behind-the-scenes, rather than pages we expect people to look through. They should be for '''our''' benefit, not the users'.

:::::::An excellent point about the display limit of categories. I like the idea of subpages, as that allow us to list individual "categories". It's true what DW says about the Wikibots though, those things work with Wiki categories, so we can't dismiss them. Discarding them from regular use is possible if we have a good alternative, like the function page you describe.
:::::::Whether or not we're going to use Wiki categories or just headers on a page, the question still stands: do we need more of them? I think it wouldn't hurt.
