Separate demographic from genre

There are plenty of discussions here trying to explain the differences between genre and demographic. While some still can't wrap their minds around the concept, the fact is that genre and demographic are two very different things. What makes it confusing is that shoujo, shounen, josei, and seinen are listed as a genres on this website, leading to lots of misinformed editing and incorrect listings.
It would be ideal if demographic would have its own little section underneath genre or something. Maybe the demographic could only be edited on the page for a a magazine, and that would then be applied to all the series in that magazine. In the genre search, the demographic filters could sit under the checkbox with the media type and release type filters.
I guess it might be a lot of work to do all that, but I think it would make things much neater.
