I propose that all the sub-categories get merged to this page, so the "products" page contain direct links to the per-product descriptions pages.

The goal is to improve the overview by showing how many products there are in each category, and to link the product name to a category (to show which one is where).

I tend to agree. How about we remove the Category tags from the sub categories and list them (the sub-categories) on a main Products page ? Something like:

  • Accessories
    • Adapters
    • Clothing

etc.

I've taken the changes and created a Products page so we don't get the extra cruft that comes from being a category.
