A

B

C

In the diagram above we would have (A) wall, (B) ball_games, (C) squares.

wall

ball

squares

The categories are:

Category:Ball games

Category:Squares and ball games - you can't play these games without the requisite Squares - just like Squares are essential for Hopscotch. (No ball required for Hopscotch but you get the idea)

Category:Wall and ball games - you can't play these games without the requisite Wall - just like the Wall is essential for squash. (No racquet required here but you get the idea)

Category:Wall and ball games exists already

Category:Squares and ball games is the one we are discussing.

I did the diagram for my benefit to hopefully be able to explain my rationale.

We already many, many games in the Ball games category so collapsing either of the above categories is going to be a step backwards in clarity.
