Better categorization for userboxes

Sapphire Williams, thank you for creating these three userboxes. Please consider subcategorizing them into more specific categories, rather than placing them in the very top category for userboxes. In this case a better category would be Category:Music user templates for the salsa userbox, and Category:Musician fan user templates for the two Daft Punk userboxes. Thanks. —⁠andrybak (talk) 18:20, 20 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
