On Trollpasta Wiki, I warn people for adding nonexistent/unlisted categories the first time, and ban them for a day if they continue doing it. I ban them for a week if they are blatantly pointsgaming (for example). That may seem harsh, but Trollpasta Wiki had a RIDICULOUS amount of categories-related pointsgaming in the past, the results of which have been a pain in the ass trying to clean up.

Oh, and about the Article Listing: I do pretty much the same thing as you guys do now, except instead of giving them 30 minutes, I give them 24. I honestly don't think that needs changing. I suppose I could modify the spam page ban (which is also the same as this wiki), because I do agree it is a bit harsh. Vandalism bans should remain the same, though.
