This is the current category system, to a couple levels of depth. (This is not an exhaustive list, though.) The absolute root category of everything is [wiki]Category:Contents[/wiki]. Maybe seeing "everything" in one list will help. I think that much of what you're considering is already done in some fashion.

There are currently 520 wanted pages (redlinks), only 84 of which are linked from more than one place. I'm thinking many of these are probably the result of copy-and-paste from Wikipedia, and often should just be removed if they are outside the scope of 68k Macs.

Over on Wikipedia, I once thought like you and started to lump (then-current) iMacs and PowerBooks in with PowerMacs because they were both PPC. I got my hand slapped. Don't conflate the line/brand with the processor. Once I realized that, I cleaned everything into "Macintosh computers by CPU family", "Macintosh computers by case type", and "Macintosh computers by product line" hierarchies, which was the basis of what I did here. I added even more hierarchies here, because we can have more detail (trivia) in a topical wiki.
