The "current/former member"s system is not viable on a long term as it requires a lot of maintenance (we had the same system on frwiki, and we abandoned it, because it requires to change categories on hundreds of different pages at each election). If not convinced by this sole argument, just take a look at the current category: it is linked (via wikidata) to the 49th House, while the header describe it as the 50th House. And if I am not mistaken, the current House is the 52nd. 2 solutions :

  • the lazy one : merge the two categories in the sole "members of the NZ House",
  • the wikiholic one : split the two categories in as many categories as there are legislatures (currently 52).

Rhadamante (talk) 20:17, 24 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I set this up in 2011, i.e. the categorisation system predates Wikidata. It may well be easier to manage 'current' members via Wikidata these days. It wouldn't be overly onerous to manually maintain this category as we have 120 members, with between 30 to 40 new ones every three years. The "wikiholic" option does not make sense to me; this is overcategorisation and that kind of detail really should be managed through Wikidata. If the decision is for the 'current / former' split to remain I'd be happy to go through the category pages and make sure that they are up to date. Schwede66 20:29, 24 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
My very point is you cannot easily maintain the system. The sole argument "Wikidata" or "it will be easy to do with Wikidata" etc., with nothing concrete behind, is just hand-waving. "It wouldn't be overly onerous to manually maintain", and yet, these categories have not be maintained since their creation, 7 years ago. You can personally promise you will maintain the system, but 1) you failed to maintain it since 2011, and nobody did it 2) even if you commit seriously to this (and nobody oblige you/should oblige you to do it), what happens if you cease to contribute in a next future? Who will maintain then? But again, the problem is not personal, it's systemic. This kind of system requires heavy maintenance, either manual or semi-automatic, and semi-automatic just means someone with powerful tools (ie scripts, either bot or WD). So in the end, it is still a human problem. Rhadamante (talk) 21:30, 24 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

 Delete and upmerge to Category:Members of the New Zealand House of Representatives, which on reflection is the sensible thing to do. Schwede66 08:12, 4 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

 Delete and either merge them to the parent or create more permanent sub-categories based on constant information. These kinds of categories have a double problem. On one hand they are impossible to accurately maintain. Additionally, if a photo is taken of a subject while they are a 'current' representative, then it is still a photo of a then-current representative even if the person later retires. We are having a similar discussion at Commons:Categories for discussion/2018/08/Category:Current Airbus aircraft of Tunisair. Josh (talk) 18:47, 1 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Redundant to The Minster School, York. It's the same establishment, and I know because I attended this school between 1960 and 1964. Rodhullandemu (talk) 19:47, 30 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed, bt we also have Category:Minster Song School, 8-9 Minster Yard, York and Category:Minster Song School. I'd suggest we delete Category:The Minster School, York in favour of Category:Minster Song School, Deangate, York. - Themightyquill (talk) 08:57, 6 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Well, no, because since my time new buildings have been added, notably the buildings in Minster Yard, which IIRC were architects' offices in the 1960s. We need to keep The Minster School, York as the parent for all separately Listed buildings in Deangate & Minster Yard. All images in that category are of the Deangate building in any case, and a merge is required. Rodhullandemu (talk) 09:40, 6 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I see. Still, while we might need a category for that specific building, Category:The Minster School, York is ambigious with several other categories, so it's not the best name and should be made more clear. - Themightyquill (talk) 19:39, 7 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
We should have The Minster School, York as the parent for the establishment, with child categories for the separate buildings at 8 - 9 Minster Yard, York, 10 Minster Yard, York and The Minster School, Deangate, York (not "Song", that was ditched years ago), with a redirect from York Minster Song School (its former name) to The Minster School, York. That covers everything with the correct structure. Rodhullandemu (talk) 20:16, 7 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Rodhullandemu: That makes sense to me. Do you want to go ahead and sort things properly, and then I'll close? - Themightyquill (talk) 19:45, 26 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The entire "downtowns by city" category subtree doesn't make sense to me. In a category named "Downtowns in Arkansas by city", you would expect each subcategory to be for all the downtowns that are in an individual city. However, a city has only one downtown. The entries in, for example, Category:Downtowns in Arkansas by city should just be in Category:Downtowns in Arkansas. So far, these are only for the United States.

I suggest that we do one of the following:

  • Delete the downtowns by city categories, up-categorizing as appropriate.
  • Rename these categories to "downtowns in <whatever> by name".
  • If the reason for these categories is to group downtowns that are in cities (as opposed to downtowns in towns, etc.), then they could be renamed to something like "Downtowns of cities in <location>)" if we want to have such a distinction.

I prefer the first option, especially since there doesn't seem to be anything in the categories without "by city" that isn't for specific individual places. --Auntof6 (talk) 06:35, 24 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Note: Withouth participating in the discussion, Futurewiki has moved Category:Downtowns in Arkansas by city to Category:Downtowns of cities in Arkansas. This fits with your last suggestion. - Themightyquill (talk) 08:15, 24 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Futurewiki: Is it your understanding that these categories are for cities, as opposed to downtowns for towns, etc.? If so, are you planning to create categories for downtowns of towns as well? I'm not sure there's much meaningful difference between the two. Please give us your thoughts. In any case, when you move these the way you did, please remove the metacat templates as well.

The category seems an accident; most of the photos in it seem not related at all, no evidence of a radio station. XanonymusX (talk) 16:57, 2 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Merge to Category:Musicians. This does not appear to be the name of a radio station as its parent category suggestions. It is seemingly being used to categorize Spanish-speaking musicians who may or may not be here for self-promotion, but the category name makes no sense in that case.

Category needs renaming. It's for a specific building in Ottawa, but it has attracted files for other law-related buildings because the name is so generic. Maybe "Justice Building (Ottawa)"? Help cleaning it out would be appreciated as well. Auntof6 (talk) 04:21, 27 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

A category for all justice buildings would have the word "buildings", not "building", and that word would be all lower case. Besides, I don't think "justice building" is a general term: I think we have categories for these buildings in general, like Category:Courthouses. --Auntof6 (talk) 17:50, 27 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
This buildings was not event a courthouse at the first place. It was named like this because it housed the federal ministry of Justice when it was builded. --Fralambert (talk) 01:01, 28 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
OK, then "government buildings" and/or similar terms. The point is that the name can be seen as a generic term by people and/or bots who either don't notice that both words are capitalized or don't realize that the capitalization means something. --Auntof6 (talk) 17:53, 29 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Move to "Women with firearms", to avoid the pejorative use of "females" as a noun to mean "women". Additionally, "female" refers to sex, which is based on sex organs and secondary sexual characteristics, neither of which we know from these pictures of women with firearms. "Women" refers to how people present themselves and identify, which we can see from the pictures, as the women pictured seem to present as women and are often identified in the photo captions as women. This will involve renaming the category's subcategories as well. See Category talk:Females with machine guns for more information. Chumash11 (talk) 21:22, 24 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose. Commons uses the term in a non-pejorative way in many places. We can't just rename them unless we are certain that all the people shown with the weapons are adults: "females" includes girls as well as women. In some of the images, we can't see the face of the person, so we can't tell. In others, the people could be underage. --Auntof6 (talk) 00:15, 25 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
But that point was already explained that one could considere girls also as women.--Sanandros (talk) 04:20, 25 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Where was that point made? In other discussions, I've seen girls not considered women. They are females, certainly, but not women. --Auntof6 (talk) 04:44, 25 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
It was made on the Females with machine guns talk page. Elsewhere, I've often seen girls considered women. "Females" sounds overly technical and grammatically, not to mention derogatory. --Chumash11 (talk) 20:47, 26 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I have to disagree with that opinion. If you look at Category:Human females by stage of development, you'll see categories for different ages of female humans: none of them are subsets of the others, and the specific age ranges are listed on all the subcategories. If anything, any "females" categories that are only for humans need to be renamed to "human females" or "female humans". Besides, people could be looking specifically for images of children, so why have a category called "women" include them when the common use of that word includes only adults? --Auntof6 (talk) 22:34, 26 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

And on top of it all is that there are very few photos whose authors took care to provide description, specify age and marital status of certain female depicted. Asian ladies wear paranjas that hide everything and you can't tell for sure is that a woman or a shahid wrapped with explosives. Oppose per above. ВоенТех (talk) 18:03, 28 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. I don't don't know of any clear definition that says "females" refers strictly to physical sex and not social gender. Rather "female gender" is commonly used to discuss social gender. One can identify as female just as well as one can identify as a woman. The articles linked in the talk page oppose using the word "females" in place of "women", but that's clealy not what's going on here since we have a sub-category Category:Women with firearms. - Themightyquill (talk) 09:17, 6 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

We'll introduce a lot of ambiguity by replacing automobiles with cars. We also have the big categories like rail cars; then there are street cars, trolleys, cable cars, elevator cars, those thingamabobs in a Ferris wheel are called cars as well. Does anyone think that this can be a considerable problem for our non-EN speaking customers? In general I'm all for the move, tho. As long as we don't use motorcar. ;-) --Hedwig in Washington (mail?) 15:00, 4 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Hedwig in Washington: I don't believe those things will lead to any notable confusion. The current state of things, however, is very confusing for non-American speakers because "automobile" is an American thing. I got back to this discussion because today I was looking for a category like "dogs in cars". But I couldn't find it. Tried everything. How does a category for "dogs in cars" not exist yet? Well, it does, but it's called Category:Dogs in automobiles, so it's virtually impossible to find because nobody in their right mind would assume we would use the word "automobiles" instead of "cars" for this. - Alexis Jazz ping plz 16:53, 4 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Well, auto-mobile works for me as a native German speaker perfectly. ;-) Right, not everybody would think of automobile but most of auto. Tada, there is the category. Anyway IF we decide to move, we should divide up the work so we don't collide. --Hedwig in Washington (mail?) 17:07, 4 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Hedwig in Washington: I speak Dutch. Dutch even has automobiel (but auto is much, much more common). I understand the words when I see them, but when searching for something the current state is hopelessly confusing. Search Google Books for "police automobile": 6070 results. Search for "police car": 1.480.000 results. 243 times more. - Alexis Jazz ping plz 18:11, 4 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Indeed, it is extremely annoying. I have nothing against the word "automobile" itself, but I'm quite sure we're supposed to call things by the way people actually call them...and we all know that, in English, we call this thing a "car". It is so confusing to have sift through awkward constructions with the strange term "automobile" when "car" would be used in any normal discourse. This discussion seems to have been open for ages. I admit to not being familiar with Commons processes, but what is required to move this forward? RGloucester (talk) 19:09, 4 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I don't understand how you don't see the gain: I pointed out above I searched my ass off for "dogs in cars", unable to find it. And if I have trouble finding it, I'm absolutely certain many inexperienced users have the same problem. Perhaps less so for people from the US and Canada who might be more likely to think of "automobiles", but Commons is a global project and "car" is a global word. - Alexis Jazz ping plz 16:42, 14 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

 Oppose Categories are frequently at more formal names, and wikt:en:car is more polysemous than wikt:en:automobile. As above, it also seems more universal, which is not definitive, but it is nice.--Prosfilaes (talk) 07:21, 14 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Prosfilaes: what do you mean by "more universal"? If we stick with automobiles because it's less polysemous, we should create redirects for absolutely all of the subcategories, like we redirect Category:Bears to Category:Ursidae. - Alexis Jazz ping plz 16:42, 14 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
More formal according to what? "Automobile" is hardly ever used in the UK, the only place I've seen is here on the other hand it seems that even in the US "car" isn't uncommon even if automobile is more common. Crouch, Swale (talk) 08:11, 15 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
As above, it and cognate forms seem more common in other languages. I don't really care about redirects, but they seem like a noisy solution to handling alternate names, especially when it's just being done for English.--Prosfilaes (talk) 16:54, 14 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • This discussion might as well be closed as "no consensus to rename". But mark my words: this discussion has already been decided. The use of the word "automobile", even in the US, has been steadily declining for decades. If we were wise, we'd rename now instead of giving the future Commons community an even bigger renaming job. It is only a matter of time before automobile becomes a word so archaic, even more than it already is, it'll be downright ridiculous to maintain it. - Alexis Jazz ping plz 06:21, 20 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Is it worth having both Category:Street food vendors and Category:Street food as separate categories? And Category:Street food vendors by country (and all its subcategories) as separate from Category:Street food by country (and all its subcategories) ? I recognize that there is a difference between a food and the person selling it, but the overlap here is going to be rather extreme, and the benefit minimal. Themightyquill (talk) 07:31, 17 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

keep: Category:Street food should be used exclusively for files where the food is the dominant element and clearly identifiable; the Street food vendors category focusses on the specific activity of those vendors and contains files where the food is only one of many elements, not necessarily identifiable and even not necessarily shown. --Bohème (talk) 13:20, 17 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I was wondering about that myself, Bohème. It could work, but we should make it clear in the description. Should the vendors be the parent category and the food the child, or vice-versa? - Themightyquill (talk) 19:07, 17 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with Bohème and I'd suggest that the categories don't actually belong in the same hierarchy because one represents a type of food and one represents a type of employment, but they should probably be linked with a {{See also}}. BMacZero (talk) 05:46, 26 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

keep: I agree with Bohème: keep both categories and make a clear distinction. And for what would be the parent and what the subcategory: like Category:Vegetables is a parent of Category:Greengrocers and Category:Snack food is a parent of Category:Snack bars (I guess because both type of foods can be sold by several types of retailing) I suggest the Category:Street food would be the parent of the Category:Street food vendors (as it is now).

Over categorization. Three categories for a single aircraft? (Only one of this type was built) Andy Dingley (talk) 09:11, 3 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Do we really need:

To present understandably consistent entries within the parents of each category, I think we do need both Werkspoor Jumbo and PH-AFI (aircraft)‎. However we don't need Werkspoor Jumbo of KLM.

The only purpose of Werkspoor Jumbo of KLM is to include the Werkspoor Jumbo as a KLM aircraft in Aircraft of KLM. That's a necessary function, we should keep doing it. However we could do that by placing Werkspoor Jumbo in there just as easily. The other "Rutland Reindeer of KLM" categories are named as such because they were a more popular aircraft type and there are example which were not operated by KLM. In this case there's no need to distinguish. Andy Dingley (talk) 09:17, 3 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

What is the definition of less-lethal pistols? I think they are all blank pistols which are not firearms (like the Firat Magnum). Sanandros (talk) 05:59, 8 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yes but pistols are an undercategory of firearms.--Sanandros (talk) 03:58, 10 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Can we create Category:Blank pistols or is that redundant with Category:Starting pistols? - Themightyquill (talk) 08:38, 16 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

stale discussion. @Sanandros, Иван Дулин, and Themightyquill: Enwiki en:less-lethal weapon is redirected to en:non-lethal weapon. Maybe "less-lethal" is better term, because enwiki defines as "... are weapons intended to be less likely to kill a living _target than conventional weapons such as knives and firearms with live ammunition". Sidenotice, enwiki en:starting pistol is put in the "Firearms" category--Estopedist1 (talk) 13:31, 5 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This category and its subcats seem to be for images that each show only one person or animal, not necessarily those that are actually lonely. Maybe the person(s) who created these didn't realize that "lonely" means a feeling of being unhappy because one is alone, not just the fact of being alone. I suggest moving the images to Category:People, Category:Children, etc., if they aren't already in subcategories of those.

Categories included in this request are:

-- Auntof6 (talk) 01:50, 21 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that "lonely" seems inappropriate here, but it's also odd that we have (almost) every number up to 17 in Category:People by quantity (including Category:No people) but we don't have a category for "lone people." I'm not sure how we could name it to avoid including every one-person portrait on commons, but maybe there's a way? - Themightyquill (talk) 21:44, 21 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
That's why I didn't suggest renaming the categories. I think "lone people" is a de facto default that doesn't need to be specified on every image showing only one person. And I don't understand the "no people" one: should it contain everything that doesn't show any people? It's a puzzlement. --Auntof6 (talk) 23:05, 21 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Auntof6 and Themightyquill: "Lonely people" and "1 person" are certainly different concepts. I agree that 'lonely' categories should be for images in which the subjects are expressing the feeling of loneliness (generally an unhappy one). Generally it would be groups of 1 person that would be depicted but I suppose there could be images of multiple people who all are feeling lonely (a couple where both people feel lonely despite being in a relationship?) Images in Category:Lonely people (and related) which merely show 1 person but not expressing loneliness, should be removed from that category. A note should be added to the header of those categories to give users help in populating them correctly. Josh (talk) 19:58, 22 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Delete Inappropriate language, as in colloquial modern English "lonely" is more common as descriptor of an emotional state than a number. "One" or "1" would be good alternatives if number is meant. ("Single" not a good alternative for people, as it can also refer to marriage status.) -- Infrogmation of New Orleans (talk) 22:00, 18 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Auntof6, Themightyquill, and Infrogmation: No discussion in more than a year, I'm not seeing a consensus for a particular change. Is there anything more to add, or should we just close this one at this point? Josh (talk) 21:38, 25 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Looks like there's general agreement. Let's start moving. Majority meaning "one" moved to relevant categories; small number actually intending emotional state of loneliness moved to category of that name. -- Infrogmation of New Orleans (talk) 22:47, 25 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Is there a clear difference between Category:Food stands and Category:Food stalls? I can see we might differentiate between "fruit & vegetable stands/stalls" or "grocery stands/stall" vs "prepared food stands/stalls" but I think the only potential difference between a stand and a stall is whether there are other stands/stalls around. Themightyquill (talk) 07:35, 17 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest merging all three cats-stands, stalls and Category:Food booths. Hardly any objective criteria to tell them apart.--Roy17 (talk) 03:02, 29 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with that. There's really no objective difference between any of them. Into which category though? BTW, there's also Category:Street food vendors which is sorta similar and has an ongoing discussion about it. I guess it was also opened by Themightyquill. Perhaps they can shed some light on what the differences are? --Adamant1 (talk) 02:44, 28 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Adamant1 and Themightyquill: searching "food stand" and "food stall" in "News on the Web (NOW)" and "iWeb: The Intelligent Web-based Corpus" on https://www.english-corpora.org/ , results seem to suggest both are popular phrases. "food stall" might be relatively more popular.
Since there are also other stalls under Category:Market stalls, I suggest Category:Food stands merge into stalls.
Category:Food booths can be a subcat, since not all stalls are "booths", e.g. food trucks, stalls using a tent... but all booths should be stalls. Roy17 (talk) 18:56, 18 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Roy17: Are you saying a food truck is a food stall? -- Themightyquill (talk) 09:31, 19 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I've tagged Category:Food carts which might fall under some definitions of food stands. -- Themightyquill (talk) 09:35, 19 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
According to oxford dict, stall is "a stand, booth, or compartment for the sale of goods in a market or large covered area". There are markets where stalls are set up using food trucks.
I'm just saying, not all stalls are booths. I assume booths must be some kind of overhead structures, but stalls have a broader scope, like they could be set up using trucks. Roy17 (talk) 10:06, 19 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Themightyquill and Roy17: Without being aware of this discussion, I started a similar discussion about Market stands. There Adamant1 suggested that the difference between stands and stalls might be about the degree of temporariness. Would you please give a reaction about the proposed definitions? --JopkeB (talk) 04:20, 2 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, yeah. I totally forgot about this discussion. I think the definitions in the other one will probably resolve it. Category:Food booths might need some clarification though, or maybe it can just merged with one of the other categories. I don't really think the distinction of a "booth" compared to a stall or stand is very useful. At least not in this context. --Adamant1 (talk) 04:49, 2 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@JopkeB: There might be something to that definition, but I'm not sure it's useful here since most cases will be a grey area. In my experience, almost all market stands and stalls are only semi-permanent. It would be hard to draw a line between the two in a useful way. -- Themightyquill (talk) 07:05, 10 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your reaction. Can the dividing line be drawn based on the appearance of the stalls/stands? I would like to have a category that is only for "structures of an elongated covered table (covered for instance by a tent roof or parasol) that can easily be moved and set up, used by merchants"; and at least one other for other kinds of stands/stalls. In the Netherlands all open air markets (each town has one, cities like Amsterdam and Rotterdam have more) has that kind of structures and there are a lot of photographs of them. So I think it is useful to be able to make a distinction between those kind of stands and other ones. JopkeB (talk) 15:45, 10 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@JopkeB: I think that works in theory better than in practise. Would your definition apply to these: 1 2 3 4 5? It's hard to know. -- Themightyquill (talk) 09:27, 14 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

According to the definitions we use uptill now in Commons:Categories for discussion/2023/03/Category:Market stands:

I would very much prefer that the definitions here and in Commons:Categories for discussion/2023/03/Category:Market stands will eventually be the same. --JopkeB (talk) 15:31, 14 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]


Implemented the proposal by JopkeB at Commons:Categories for discussion/2023/03/Category:Market stands by adding description and moving subcats. --Sbb1413 (he) (talkcontribs) 12:02, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The category description says "means basically the same thing as Category:Sleds" So why have two categories? If we want a category for animal-powered sleighs (to include horse drawn and reindeer drawn), let's create Category:Animal-powered sleighs or Category:Animal-drawn sleighs. Themightyquill (talk) 09:54, 2 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

To me, a sled sits directly on the ground and is powered by either gravity (if you're sliding downhill on it) or human power (if you're dragging it on the ground, such as to transport objects). A sleigh is raised to allow for a runner assembly and is pulled by animals -- think carriages with runners instead of wheels. Is the usage different in different places? On another note, I saw a couple of things in the redlinked category Category:Sledges, so I recategorized them. When this discussion is resolved, we might want to create that category, even if only as a redirect. --Auntof6 (talk) 20:53, 2 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The small vs large differentiation fits partially with the description at en:Sled though I guesst there's no clear rule. There's also Category:Toboggans for those that sit flat on the ground. Sleds can work as the broadest parent category? So maybe we just need category descriptions. - Themightyquill (talk) 07:01, 3 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
For what it's worth, I've always seen toboggan used to mean a long sled that can take multiple people -- sort of a scaled-down version of a bobsled (aka bobsleigh). So to me, sled could be a parent for toboggans but not for sleighs, However, I've learned from my work on various Wikimedia projects that US usage can be different from that of other places, and that non-US usage usually prevails. I think the best we can do might be, as you say, to have good category descriptions and periodically recategorize things that go in the wrong cats. It might also be good to put a gallery on the top-level page as a guide to what goes where. --Auntof6 (talk) 07:17, 3 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
So, is this object a sleigh (since it has runners) or a sled (since it's not pulled by animals)? Mindmatrix 14:59, 28 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Good question. There might be a different name for those. It might be a type of sleigh, but if so we might need to change our definition to say that they're pulled by humans or animals, to avoid upsetting those who don't want humans to be categorized as animals. --Auntof6 (talk) 16:56, 28 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

stale discussion. Enwiki en:sleigh is redirected to en:sled. en:Toboggan has a standalone article, although it is defined as "a simple sled"--Estopedist1 (talk) 12:50, 5 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Season. Sleds are categorized as Winter equipment but summer toboggans are under them. Trigenibinion (talk)


Closed, kept. Stale discussion; cfd header was removed from Category:Sleighs 2 years ago. Hatnote clarified; it is a subcategory of sleds, and the distinction seems of significance to some. -- Infrogmation of New Orleans (talk) 21:23, 7 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I would be willing to take (another) fine comb to this, but without Category:Files that mention Photobucket (Commons:Categories for discussion/2018/07/Category:Files that mention Photobucket) I will have a hard time maintaining this. So we better get rid of it. - Alexis Jazz ping plz 21:00, 28 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks to my approach I have found several instances of vandalism or just confusing edits like [5] and [6]. But what difference does it make anyway. I don't ask for much, nobody pays me to do this shit. If people then start yelling at you because you're doing it wrong.. - Alexis Jazz ping plz 21:21, 28 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I don't really understand the problem. This category is hard for you to maintain, and therefore, we should delete it? - Themightyquill (talk) 09:03, 6 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Themightyquill: I created it, there are some false positives here and people were offended by that. And they don't care if I fix my errors, which I did, instead accusing me of violating policies. In the end nobody (except me) understood why Category:Files that mention Photobucket had to exist, so that should be deleted. Without it, I can't maintain or continue to fix the errors in Category:Files from Photobucket, so we'll have to delete that as well.
If this sounds batcrap insane to you, try to imagine what it sounds like to me. - Alexis Jazz ping plz 09:28, 6 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps you could create Category:Files that mention Photobucket as a your personal user category? (Category:User:Alexis Jazz/Photobucket mentions or some equivalent) It would be hidden that way, and less subject to complaint. I think it's worth discussing before going further. I can see why it would be useful in correctly categorizing Category:Files from Photobucket, so there should be some way to accomplish this task. On the other hand, you're essential categorizing these files by what they aren't which isn't how commons usually works, so that may be the source of confusion. Anyway, there's no complaint about the existence of Category:Files from Photobucket, and the fact that you created it doesn't mean you get to decide to delete it if the community feels its valuable. - Themightyquill (talk) 15:22, 7 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think Category:User:Alexis Jazz/Photobucket mentions works. That is just a category named "User:Alexis Jazz/Photobucket mentions", that's worse than "Files that mention Photobucket". - Alexis Jazz ping plz 16:01, 7 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Alexis Jazz: Worse how? If it's a user category (and obviously so), detached from the main commons categorization tree, and uses the HIDDEN_CAT tag, then I don't see why anyone would complain. - Themightyquill (talk) 19:47, 26 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Themightyquill: it includes a fake namespace. - Alexis Jazz ping plz 20:53, 26 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure I understand. The "user" ? That's not a fake name space, it just identifies you as a user. Look through Category:User categories and you'll find similar ones. - Themightyquill (talk) 21:31, 27 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Agree with deleting Category:Files that mention Photobucket, but I also agree with themightquill that Category:Files from Photobucket should be kept. Even if it can't be automatically populated by a keyword search, it can still be theoretically (optimistically, perhaps) populated by uploaders or manually, or by some other means.

NotesI removed the images from Category:Files that mention Photobucket and nominated it for deletion per the consensus. Category:Files from Photobucket will be kept since it doesn't seem like there's a consensus to delete it and it's clearly useful. About Category:Files that mention Photobucket, I created a similar category recently for files that contained the word "postcard" but weren't images of postcards so they would could filtered out of search results for postcards. Sadly it created a massive row with other users who thought it was the wrong way to do things. Fair enough. I eventually ended up just deleting the word from all of the files I could find where it didn't seem useful or necessary. I suggest you do that here. There's no reason a lot of these images need to have references to photobucket in the first place. So feel free to just delete them in cases where it's pointless and doesn't add anything. It's clear that there is no consensus for creating these types of maintenance categories though. But at least it's an easy fix in the meantime that you can implement on your own and hopefully without upsetting anyone.
