The more the merrier, right? One would hope a category had a respectable number, and while there will be a lot of one-off characters, how many of them have actual character pages?

Everyone will utilise categories differently, but as a relatively new reader trying to keep up with readers which have be at it since childhood, I like to use them for browsing characters and facts I would never come across in reading. The monocle thing is just a trope/character cliché that appeals to me.

I only seriously considered it because it is an easily definable aspect. There's no foreseeable ambiguity with a monocle, unlike a 'smokers' category, which would be good, were it not impractical to define - who is a regular smoker opposed to a character shown smoking once in the 40's - as people have pointed out.
