I see your point: what you are asking for is labelling the articles rather than grouping them in collections, right?

I think labelling is useful when you can download individual articles (by label) efficiently. I don’t think it’s practical to create torrents for each nor efficient to ask users to scrape. IPFS could have helped if it wasn’t so slow in practise.

I guess wikipedia should encourage all article editor to properly tag articles.

Dewey categories are a good way to label things, I guess.
