Category Inclusions in Anthologies, Magazines etc.

I'm curious as to what should be best practice when it comes to anthology-like articles such as novel anthologies, magazines etc. Should the page for the anthology/magazine include the category for sources e.g. [Category:Sources (Iron Snakes)], or should that category only apply to the main article for the content it relates to?
To illustrate: Take an issue of Inferno! magazine, we'll say it contains a short story about the Iron Snakes Chapter and I link to that short story in the article. Should the Inferno! article include the category [Category:Sources (Iron Snakes)], should only the short story article include that category, or should both articles include that category? I've been doing the latter thus far, but I think maybe the second (main article only) makes the most sense from an organisational point of view. Any thoughts on this? --GrumpyDilettante (talk) 02:18, 13 June 2019 (MDT)

I tend to agree. Adding categories to everything in an anthology results in a long, unwieldy list of categories for that page. I usually don't apply the specific categories on an anthology-type page, unless they apply to everything in the anthology (like Category:Thousand Sons on Ahriman: Exodus (Anthology)). The trouble is, we don't always have separate pages for all the anthology contents. Bobmath (talk) 08:23, 13 June 2019 (MDT)
