What you refer to as categories exist to either 1. Distinguish different released of works under the same name 2. Group examples that don't fit in as the main content.

There were at least at least some suggestions to make a Character Sheets analogue for settings and was discussed here.

We do have Settings which is a type of index for place and time settings for fictional narratives.

There have been proposals for a Worldbuilding or Setting namespace before, but the consensus has been that there's nothing we can put there that can't already be put on the main work page. The setting isn't usually separable from the works set in it, with the risible exception of things like tabletop RPG campaign settings.

Wiki Talk would be the place for more in-depth discussion on this. Here's the most recent thread on the topic.
