The following diagram categories (and/or their subcategories) may still have charts and graphs in them. The individual charts and graphs can be moved and/or added to subcategories of Category:Charts by theme and Category:Graphs by theme. These are the theme categories for the main categories of Category:Charts and Category:Graphs. Charts and graphs can also be categorized in subcategories of Category:Statistics. As many charts and graphs as possible should be categorized in the right subcategories. New subcategories may be created. Images may need to be categorized in multiple categories.
