They very reason why fast bb is given a special code is that when we use kongou class, V.V. class, or bismarck in game, the game will told us we are using a ship of category 8, and when we use Ise, Fusou, Yamato, Nagato it would be category 9, and if it is Ise Kai or Fusou Kai it woild be category 10.

Also, we do not categorize ships according to how their original owner did, we classify them according to how Kadokawa did. I don't have the knowledge or historic facts you all own in this thread but this comment strikes me really hard. So basically you classify according to USN hull codes but it's also dependant on how Kadokawa itself classifies the ships. You even have info about what category ingame the ship type has so, why not simply use safe USN hull codes for easy reference along with the ship category? This way it would get simplier, wiki gets their own ingame classification according to Kadokawa and it won't disturb historians about how people manipulate already stated codes.

If I interpret Qunow info right and giving an example, Kongou class would be BB(8). Meanwhile Fusou, Yamato and Nagato Class could be classified as BB9, BB(9) or BB-9. Same would apply to CV and whatever category number they have. Just an idea, honestly I don't care about how they are classified as long as I know to whatever classification a kanmusu belongs to.
