Commons:Categories for discussion/2014/06/Category:Construction of The Berczy
This discussion of one or several categories is now closed. Please do not make any edits to this archive.
This category was created today, by a robot. That robot moved elements from the existing Category:Construction of Toronto's Berczy Apartments. But neither the edit summary that created the new category, or the edit summaries that transferred the elements from the existing category to the new category gives any clues as to when and where a discussion over deprecating the existing category took place, or whose idea the deprecation was. The edit summary said: "given reason: 'consistent with parent category, possessive forms not used for disambiguation'".
I don't know why whomever thought deprecating the old category was a good idea didn't initiate a discussion here of the old category. Geo Swan (talk) 08:44, 13 June 2014 (UTC)
- Geo, honestly. First, people don't need discussions for maintenance work to make a cat consistent with the rest of the category tree. Especially in case like this where the subcats were fixed to be consistent with the parent category name which you yourself created! (And I checked, and you had used the correct name when you set up a parent cat for this building) We have this discussion again and again and again, and we wouldn't if you simply took more care when you created subcategories (it would save us all so much maintenance work). Subcats need to match the parent cat - if you think the existing category naming structure for any given subject is wrong, then by all means so say - everyone working on Toronto-related categories respects your local knowledge. If you want to fix an incorrect name, ping me any time and I will do it for you right away. Much better than creating a category structure where you refer to the same subject different ways in the same small category tree (you also disambiguate by year and place using a variety of different forms, also within the same category tree - BTW, since when do we disambiguate with the possessive form???). For the L Tower, you created subcats such that the category names referred to the same building three different ways in half a dozen cats - how do you expect other users to find the right category using hotcat? --Skeezix1000 (talk) 13:37, 13 June 2014 (UTC)
