Perhaps a link to Category:Categories.Could be labeled Browse Categories. Would be similar to Find->Surnames, I would think.

Note: Admittedly, one can go to Help->Using Categories and click on the URL for browsing. A more direct link may help emphasize/encourage the use of Categories.

Find > Categories has been added to the menu!

Note that this leads to main Categories page. I think what's at Category:Categories needs to be better integrated into that main page.

Thanks for the new link, under "Find" Categories.  The suggestion of integrating the data to this page would be great except it is not possible for the average person to edit (impossible to edit).  Formating changes could be used for this page to also eliminate a full screen of unused information to get to the listing of categories. A hierarchy listing with more detail here woulld be great.

Categories, click here.  is too limited in space for detailed hierarchy. This page could just list the main subcategories if the other had a detailed current hierarchy. Or this page could be expanded (enlarged) for more detailed hierarchy and could then be modified with new additions.
