Commons:Categories for discussion/2018/04/Category:Arabic cuisine by country
I have two issues here: One, we have pages with the word "Arab" (which looks "more" correct to me, if we are not speaking about the language) and pages with "Arabic" like this one. I leave that issue to native speakers of English to solve, if there is a need. I've got another problem, and, sorry, which relates to subcats of this cat. I do this this way because it is much more practical than opening to discussion several cats. IMHO (or "indeed) this cat is about "foreign cuisines". It is intended to host, for example Category:Arabic cuisine in France. That is alright, and there are two more subcats, within the 11 at present, which are alright. The other 8 cats must go. I could have done these things, but a discussion-resulted consensus will bind everyone. Thanks and sorry for your time. E4024 (talk) 16:06, 25 April 2018 (UTC)
- I certainly agree with changing to Arab as per en:Arab Cuisine.
- Second, it's not obvious from the name that it's only for foreign food, but you're right - it's a sub-category of Category:Cuisine of Asia by country, which is a sub-category of Category:Foreign cuisines by country. Our system is somewhat broken though. Category:Cuisine of Asia by country doesn't contain Category:Cuisine of Japan. On the other hand, Category:Cuisine of Africa by country does contain Category:Cuisine of Botswana.
- I wonder if we could rename this category three better. It doesn't make obvious sense that Category:Cuisine of Asia has "Cuisine of Japan" but Category:Cuisine of Asia by country does not. What about creating Category:Arab cuisine abroad and Category:Arab cuisine abroad by country,Category:Cuisine of Asia abroad by country, Cuisine of Europe abroad by country? But then does Category:Cuisine of Europe in France fit in "abroad" ? I'm not sure what's best. - Themightyquill (talk) 07:15, 27 April 2018 (UTC)
