The main reasons we went with pages instead of categories for stage themes is because stage themes aren't official designations.

As others have mentioned, being included in a category just alphabetises the categorised pages and prevents adding any useful context. There are many stages that are listed under certain themes along with comments like "this stage has elements of multiple themes, and here are the elements relevant to this theme". So I would recommend keeping the pages.

Then, for exactly the same reason, I disagree with making categories because the stage themes aren't official. They are highly subjective collections of levels. Even the themes we picked and the names we gave them are just what we thought was clearest and most relevant. I much prefer categories that are factual and objective and not subject to change, but these themes aren't. If you think the themes are complete and appropriately chosen, that just means we did our job well, it doesn't mean that categorisation is the way forward.

Just two cents from a mostly retired user.
