Decide how the "classic courses" category should be updated

Following a recent proposal, it was decided that we would no longer treat "classic courses" as a universal term for Mario Kart courses that have returned in another game, instead looking at how Nintendo has used the term to determine on a case-by-case basis whether it should apply to any particular course's return in any particular game.

At present, the "classic courses" category encompasses all courses that have appeared in multiple Mario Kart games, including courses which fall outside of the new "classic courses" definition such as those which have only returned as "extra tracks" in Mario Kart: Super Circuit. As such, we must determine how best to update this category so that it doesn't conflict with said definition going forward.

I see three potential options here:

1. We rename the category to "returning courses", effectively retaining the status quo.
2. We update the category to only include courses which can reasonably be proven to fit within the definition of a "classic course", as outlined in the previous proposal.
3. We remove the category altogether.

Personally, I do not think this category is particularly necessary, seeing as most courses in the series have returned at this point, and that I see "returning courses" as less of a distinct group of courses and moreso just a matter of fact. That being said, I believe that an overall "returning courses" category is preferable over that of a "classic courses" one which follows the new definition, seeing as the driving force behind the previous proposal was that "classic courses" as a term is very loosely defined as it is.
