after crying buckets, and putting spiders under AF's chair, for losing everything I've typed, I'll re-write out a summary:

I've mentioned a few things in one of my earlier posts about conflicts of game vs history, some remodels that never actually happened (the alleged reason for blueprints). That's why we should only consider referring to history only if the game doesn't tell anything about it -  when in-game lore is exhausted.

However in this situation, we clearly have the game telling us, she IS NOT a CL (stype=21). stype-21 was created especially for her. Thus we can't possibly argue to still classify her as CL (game priority over history). I sure hope someone can test CL-required expeditions. Anyway, we can already test this on E-1 where we cannot send her.

e.g. we classify Fusou-class as BBV because they can equip bomber seaplanes, attack submarines, and they act in-game like a BBV. We can't possibly argue that they wasn't historically and dismiss this game mechanic. This is kancolle wikia anyway, not wikipedia. Still, WW2 and history has a place on our ship pages, the Trivia sections.

Back to Katori, classifying her as a non-CL does not mean she is not eligible to be on the EliteCL page. As I've mentioned one time, we can also add her there only if it has a notice below the name (CT). But saying this does not help in anyway, which leads to player preference for convenience of comparison.

As a player, honestly it'd be easier for her to be on CL page. Why would I want to compare her to Akashi or Taigei? Even though all of them have special mechanics, but we can have another category for that, like Category: Ships with special mechanics. We don't need to force it to Auxiliary Ships
