There are two types of name in this category. Which name should we use? "related to/against" "environmental issues/problems" A1Cafel (talk) 03:46, 15 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@A1Cafel: I don’t understand. Can you clarify what you think the problem is? — Cheers, JackLee talk 04:13, 15 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Jacklee: I wish to harmonize the category names. The subcategories have two differences: Demonstrations and protests "related to/against" environmental "issues/problems" As the creaor of this category, which name do you perfer? --A1Cafel (talk) 06:12, 15 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@A1Cafel and Jacklee: Strictly speaking, the set "related to...issues" would be a parent of the set "against...problems", as 'against' is a type of 'relationship' and 'problems' are a type of 'issue'. Thus I would put Category:Demonstrations and protests against environmental problems in Italy under Category:Demonstrations and protests relating to environmental issues in Italy. If they are to be merged, then Category:Demonstrations and protests relating to environmental issues in Italy is the most comprehensive category and so should be the retained one.

I agree. I think the parent category should use “relating to”. The “against” category (and “in favour of”, or whatever wording we are using) should be a subcategory. As for “issues” or “problems”, I guess I prefer “issues” as it’s more neutral. However, I’m not sure if it is safe to decide this for all categories here without looking at some examples, because it might be that in some cases “problems” is more appropriate. — Cheers, JackLee talk 08:20, 20 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
