Overly limiting, limiting to one type of character from Digimon. Also the category name is much more obscure than it needs to be. Rename to the much simpler and more easily recognized "Digimon characters". - TexasAndroid 20:19, 15 June 2006 (UTC) reply

Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Given the description on the cat, and the fact that it was the only on in Category:Manga and anime characters, I assumed that this was for all major characters. This appears now to not be the case. Looking up at the main Category:Digimon cat, I see there are quite a few other categories of types of Digimon characters. I'll leave this up for now, and support your alternate rename, but I still think a Category:Digimon characters would be useful. Not as a replacement for Category:DigiDestined, but as a new parent for it and the other character categories. Updating the proposal. - TexasAndroid 21:23, 15 June 2006 (UTC) reply

80% of the actors in this category:80% of the Brady Bunch characters listed are jokes and do not appear in the TV show or movie. The category is also unnecessary because the cast of both the TV show & movie are already documented in those articles.

The Category:Brady Bunch actors should be deleted for the same reasons.

The "by number" category should go based on a previous decision to eliminate category:Albums by number. The "First films" should change to "debut films" to eliminate the concept of numbers in these categories. (Or be deleted. I don't care which.)-- Mike Selinker 16:27, 15 June 2006 (UTC) reply

  • ...an expression that suggests entre into a film profession, which may not be a reality in societies that lack an established filmmaking tradition.
If "first film" implies "first significant film" or "first professional film" or the like, I'm not sure how that differs from it being a "directorial debut"... Apologies if I'm missing something obvious. As an alternative, I think I'd prefer Category:Directors' first films rather than Category:First films by a director, as the latter suggests each director made a cluster of first films. Regards, David Kernow 14:02, 17 June 2006 (UTC) reply
Thanks for commenting on the possibly problematic wording. "First film" means nothing more than first feature film yet the distinction alone has significance not just in the world of film prizes (the Independent Spirit Awards being another example) but in evaluating a director's oeuvre. Since no special recognition is given to first features in the Academy Awards or the Golden Globes, the highest profile film trophies in the world, I can forgive the term's lack of meaning (even the category's lack of value) to the average English reader. As I notice from a casual Internet search that the usage of "directorial debut" is common even in what appear to be fledgling film cultures, I rescind my prior recommendation and instead vote that the category be renamed Category:Directorial debut films.

  • A category for first films/debut films/whatever you wanna call 'em is reasonable enough; we don't need categories for second or third or fifteenth films.

  • PIFFLE -- I believe Mr. Simpson is acting out because I spoke sharply to him on his talk about an unneccessary edit. I should have enough spare time to be spiteful, and I admit I let my pique get out of hand. But see his (ahem) measured response to put these nominations in their proper perspective! I also note, I've emailed an apology to him as well, but all in all, he's attacking a useful tool to the detriment of wiki-sister projects at the expense of our time with quetionable personal motivations. That alone should be enough to aim your vote in the proper direction.
On my personal page category— which is modeled on one's I've seen used by others: Maybe you should try having your brain wired AD/HD and covering half the ground I cover in Wiki. I need the notes, and the interconnection for improved productivity; I've only recently gone to this, and like it a lot. I know about where things are, but the exact page syntax sometimes gets difficult when editing to create or fix up, or as in the last two items, cross-reference in multiple pages at a time. For that reason alone, as the most active wikipedian on the cross-commons categories project, the second two occur as sub-categories of the first—it helps me get around and reference what I need to look at with minimal effort. Whether the organization is of use to others really matters not—that it helps my wiki contributions should suffice on grounds of mutual respect-- never mind the Americans with Disabilities act <g> (Even my two teens get extra-test time on that basis, so extrapolate the need, please.). An extra category page that prevents me from needing a new user or user talk page is a cost trade-off that anyone should understand to the benefit of the foundations coffers. Finding the 'currently' recyclable page or note I need is all to wikiP's benefit. 'Nuff said.
Of the later two, both are administrative project management categories. Navigation is admittedly badly named (currently) due to that same short term memory thing mentioned above... it was actually a 'Miss' of the near-name 'navigational templates' category I created here thinking I was on the commons duplicating the category here. Once I realized it, I adapted the purpose to something useful as one 'need' as one that plans on porting a fair number of navigation type templates to the commons. The focus there will henceforth be on cross-links on the heirarchial tree-nodes (Categories listing media) so one can browse easier to find suitable material. Note this has multi-lingual encyclopedia as well as impact on other sister projects such as wiki-books and wiki-source.
At most, it needs RENAMED as discussed in the link, and it's contents won't begin growing until I get back from a well-deserved wikibreak for RL needs. The point is that many mult-part templates will not necessarily need be ported as being useless in the needs of the commons, which is much more category oriented with respect to navigation needs. The cross-connects we're building there and to here and vice versa, will be of great benefit to all of us eventually who work at article expansion. In sum, the category is useful to porting templates to the commons, where they normally need some modification to work within categories. At the least, it gives an inventory of those on either sister project which are available in some form on the other. Category:Navigational templates does not make that distiction, nor cross correlate the multiple sisterprojects. By refering to said category, the Japan or French or German commons or encyclopedia people have a ready list of what needs translation for their own front ends and languages.
As we work through to equalize commons categories to this, the major source wiki-encylopedia by article count, we need the last of these nominated to see where more work is necessary. There is a commons template which indicates in a seperate category when the fixups (both) here and there have begun, and the apropo selection of the template there and then here then allows us a completed list for side by side comparison. Eventually this last category will become moot at which time I'll be nominating it for deletion myself, it's job being done, as is mentioned in the usage notes on the various (See usage notes: {{ commonscat2}}) but in the meantime it is useful indeed. // Fra nkB 18:15, 20 June 2006 (UTC) reply


  • Comment. 2 notoriously stubborn and blunt (and productive) editors. Cue fireworks. ;)
    As long as they get cleaned up in the nearish future, keep all.
    It's generally not a good idea to mix user-space with article-space in any way. However, as Frank says it is temporary, and to help in the very complex task of merging interwiki template usage, I'd imagine it's ok for now. In the future, it'd be best to keep self-organizational lists within your userspace though, and not to fudge categories into doing that job.
    A potentially less cumbersome method of tracking one's own user subpages, is with prefix search: user:fabartus (ie, no manual adding of category tags needed. Put the link on your user page for easy access.)
    Hope that helps. - Quiddity 19:43, 20 June 2006 (UTC) reply
Grumble- at least someone noticed the productivity! And I'll cop to stubborn at times, but notorious? Must be a legend in your own mind!) (Ahem!) The category is a late add trying to improve the same, the other methods you suggest sounds like what I've been doing which have resulted in time wasted missing a lot of missed page titles, and other frustrations liek loosing track of what the actual edit is while hunting for something. It can and will be eliminated in the other two once I get their names down pat. If it's against some policy I'm unaware of the first can go too with my blessings. I've just seen others with such. It's the later two organizing the interwiki effort that concern me most. Nice trick on the link you gave! Best to all // Fra nkB 22:03, 20 June 2006 (UTC) reply
  • Response Comment — Then the proper action is to nominate the 'offending' category be renamed appropriately with your superior knowledge, not to throw a monkey wrench into tools others are trying to be productive by using in good faith, as some others suggested here on your parallel action. Some of us are far more interested in doing editing rather than tearing down what others are doing and squalling ad infinitum because you don't document as thouroghly as I do or like. Calling in a few others that know my work and work ethic is only sensible when one sees such a unmeasured and concerted set of attacks.
I (repeat) I took up the badly named second ahead of your nomination on the 13th ( Wikipedia_talk:Navigational_templates#NOTICE:_New_Interwiki_Navigation_Templates) asking for more appropriate names when I announced it and the templates, and have since finding three categories marked {{ db-catempty}} (despite busily echoing their commons contents precisely as they should here on en.wikipedia though showing zero pages in category herein, as they now should, and just as many other 'Map' cats here will eventually also as the project progresses and things get relocated) and then subsequently speedy deleted (and restored). That's rather counter-productive to the top-down design of the Map categories, and hard on editors here trying to find or add maps properly, so something will need adjustment to prevent those references disappearing.
Since you're such a rules mechanic why not suggest how to keep THAT kind of step backwards from happening and contribute to all the wikipedias in a constructive way. Good design paradigms sometime necessitate having categories in advance of contents, which is particularly true if we get those things which should be on the commons off these pages and onto the commons where they belong. I've since suggested the two month old commons map re-categorization project I stumbled onto wanting to properly park some maps (and immediately began to help with) formalize itself as a project, which it has not as yet, and at which time, I suppose if a better name is needed, we'll adopt one per the guidlines. Some of us don't have the time to fool ourselves with airs of self-importance by trying to keep up with every simple minded suggestion which shows up or is adopted as proposed guidelines. Sorry, not going to happen when things need done— but gas away all you like. Enough of us usually know such trivial minutia to get things fixed up collaboratively, but bring them up in a far less hostile and unproductive manner. I'll take my actions over yours any day of the week, at least I'm trying to add content or organize it better.
Status Changes—While writing the above, I applied {{ db-author}} to the first (Fabartus user page) category, with link here, and deleted the category reference to same in the two project categories. Best regards, // Fra nkB 04:29, 24 June 2006 (UTC) reply

I will update those articles once I've had a chance to do more research. As for the categories, we actually seem to have one for each instance right now:

Contains only two items, both of which will shortly be removed per a recent unanimous decision on Wikipedia:WikiProject Dinosaurs regarding superfluous categories. Category was created by User:Elmo12456, who did not consult the team members, and only added the category to four pages (out of 800 genera). The group's decision is that such a category was arbitrary because diet of dinosaurs is speculative in many instances.-- Firsfron of Ronchester 00:36, 15 June 2006 (UTC) reply

From talk page:

This is category creep. Eventually, the majority of templates will either incorporate at least a couple parser functions or become obselete. — Jun. 9, '06 [14:50] < freak| talk>

Hi Freak. I created this out of fear we'd have a hard time finding the PF using templates. But I agree with your sentiment. If that PF stuff is stable enough (as it seems so), there isn't much reason for this cat here anymore. I wouldn't have a problem if you nominate this for deletion. -- Ligulem 14:57, 9 June 2006 (UTC) reply

Additional concerns I have about this category:

  1. I would estimate that it is less than 50% complete anyway.
  2. It doesn't include templates that call a sub-template using parser functions, due to <noinclude>.
  3. If the subtemplate is substed into the first template, the parser function is forever present and the categorization is forever lost.
  4. It's impossible to maintain.

I agree with freak's concerns, especially with the No. 1 and 4. That cat had some merits in the early stages of M:PF. But now it is rather ballast. If there aren't any concerns found about that proposed deletion, let's delete it per freak. -- Ligulem 08:06, 15 June 2006 (UTC) reply

Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Given the description on the cat, and the fact that it was the only on in Category:Manga and anime characters, I assumed that this was for all major characters. This appears now to not be the case. Looking up at the main Category:Digimon cat, I see there are quite a few other categories of types of Digimon characters. I'll leave this up for now, and support your alternate rename, but I still think a Category:Digimon characters would be useful.

The "by number" category should go based on a previous decision to eliminate category:Albums by number. The "First films" should change to "debut films" to eliminate the concept of numbers in these categories. (Or be deleted. I don't care which.)-- Mike Selinker 16:27, 15 June 2006 (UTC) reply

  • ...an expression that suggests entre into a film profession, which may not be a reality in societies that lack an established filmmaking tradition.
If "first film" implies "first significant film" or "first professional film" or the like, I'm not sure how that differs from it being a "directorial debut"... Apologies if I'm missing something obvious. As an alternative, I think I'd prefer Category:Directors' first films rather than Category:First films by a director, as the latter suggests each director made a cluster of first films. Regards, David Kernow 14:02, 17 June 2006 (UTC) reply
Thanks for commenting on the possibly problematic wording. "First film" means nothing more than first feature film yet the distinction alone has significance not just in the world of film prizes (the Independent Spirit Awards being another example) but in evaluating a director's oeuvre. Since no special recognition is given to first features in the Academy Awards or the Golden Globes, the highest profile film trophies in the world, I can forgive the term's lack of meaning (even the category's lack of value) to the average English reader. As I notice from a casual Internet search that the usage of "directorial debut" is common even in what appear to be fledgling film cultures, I rescind my prior recommendation and instead vote that the category be renamed Category:Directorial debut films.

  • PIFFLE -- I believe Mr. Simpson is acting out because I spoke sharply to him on his talk about an unneccessary edit. I should have enough spare time to be spiteful, and I admit I let my pique get out of hand. But see his (ahem) measured response to put these nominations in their proper perspective! I also note, I've emailed an apology to him as well, but all in all, he's attacking a useful tool to the detriment of wiki-sister projects at the expense of our time with quetionable personal motivations. That alone should be enough to aim your vote in the proper direction.
On my personal page category— which is modeled on one's I've seen used by others: Maybe you should try having your brain wired AD/HD and covering half the ground I cover in Wiki. I need the notes, and the interconnection for improved productivity; I've only recently gone to this, and like it a lot. I know about where things are, but the exact page syntax sometimes gets difficult when editing to create or fix up, or as in the last two items, cross-reference in multiple pages at a time. For that reason alone, as the most active wikipedian on the cross-commons categories project, the second two occur as sub-categories of the first—it helps me get around and reference what I need to look at with minimal effort. Whether the organization is of use to others really matters not—that it helps my wiki contributions should suffice on grounds of mutual respect-- never mind the Americans with Disabilities act <g> (Even my two teens get extra-test time on that basis, so extrapolate the need, please.). An extra category page that prevents me from needing a new user or user talk page is a cost trade-off that anyone should understand to the benefit of the foundations coffers. Finding the 'currently' recyclable page or note I need is all to wikiP's benefit. 'Nuff said.
Of the later two, both are administrative project management categories. Navigation is admittedly badly named (currently) due to that same short term memory thing mentioned above... it was actually a 'Miss' of the near-name 'navigational templates' category I created here thinking I was on the commons duplicating the category here. Once I realized it, I adapted the purpose to something useful as one 'need' as one that plans on porting a fair number of navigation type templates to the commons. The focus there will henceforth be on cross-links on the heirarchial tree-nodes (Categories listing media) so one can browse easier to find suitable material. Note this has multi-lingual encyclopedia as well as impact on other sister projects such as wiki-books and wiki-source.
At most, it needs RENAMED as discussed in the link, and it's contents won't begin growing until I get back from a well-deserved wikibreak for RL needs. The point is that many mult-part templates will not necessarily need be ported as being useless in the needs of the commons, which is much more category oriented with respect to navigation needs. The cross-connects we're building there and to here and vice versa, will be of great benefit to all of us eventually who work at article expansion. In sum, the category is useful to porting templates to the commons, where they normally need some modification to work within categories. At the least, it gives an inventory of those on either sister project which are available in some form on the other. Category:Navigational templates does not make that distiction, nor cross correlate the multiple sisterprojects. By refering to said category, the Japan or French or German commons or encyclopedia people have a ready list of what needs translation for their own front ends and languages.
As we work through to equalize commons categories to this, the major source wiki-encylopedia by article count, we need the last of these nominated to see where more work is necessary. There is a commons template which indicates in a seperate category when the fixups (both) here and there have begun, and the apropo selection of the template there and then here then allows us a completed list for side by side comparison. Eventually this last category will become moot at which time I'll be nominating it for deletion myself, it's job being done, as is mentioned in the usage notes on the various (See usage notes: {{ commonscat2}}) but in the meantime it is useful indeed. // Fra nkB 18:15, 20 June 2006 (UTC) reply


  • Comment. 2 notoriously stubborn and blunt (and productive) editors. Cue fireworks. ;)
    As long as they get cleaned up in the nearish future, keep all.
    It's generally not a good idea to mix user-space with article-space in any way. However, as Frank says it is temporary, and to help in the very complex task of merging interwiki template usage, I'd imagine it's ok for now. In the future, it'd be best to keep self-organizational lists within your userspace though, and not to fudge categories into doing that job.
    A potentially less cumbersome method of tracking one's own user subpages, is with prefix search: user:fabartus (ie, no manual adding of category tags needed. Put the link on your user page for easy access.)
    Hope that helps. - Quiddity 19:43, 20 June 2006 (UTC) reply

It can and will be eliminated in the other two once I get their names down pat. If it's against some policy I'm unaware of the first can go too with my blessings. I've just seen others with such.

  • Response Comment — Then the proper action is to nominate the 'offending' category be renamed appropriately with your superior knowledge, not to throw a monkey wrench into tools others are trying to be productive by using in good faith, as some others suggested here on your parallel action. Some of us are far more interested in doing editing rather than tearing down what others are doing and squalling ad infinitum because you don't document as thouroghly as I do or like. Calling in a few others that know my work and work ethic is only sensible when one sees such a unmeasured and concerted set of attacks.
I (repeat) I took up the badly named second ahead of your nomination on the 13th ( Wikipedia_talk:Navigational_templates#NOTICE:_New_Interwiki_Navigation_Templates) asking for more appropriate names when I announced it and the templates, and have since finding three categories marked {{ db-catempty}} (despite busily echoing their commons contents precisely as they should here on en.wikipedia though showing zero pages in category herein, as they now should, and just as many other 'Map' cats here will eventually also as the project progresses and things get relocated) and then subsequently speedy deleted (and restored). That's rather counter-productive to the top-down design of the Map categories, and hard on editors here trying to find or add maps properly, so something will need adjustment to prevent those references disappearing.
Since you're such a rules mechanic why not suggest how to keep THAT kind of step backwards from happening and contribute to all the wikipedias in a constructive way. Good design paradigms sometime necessitate having categories in advance of contents, which is particularly true if we get those things which should be on the commons off these pages and onto the commons where they belong. I've since suggested the two month old commons map re-categorization project I stumbled onto wanting to properly park some maps (and immediately began to help with) formalize itself as a project, which it has not as yet, and at which time, I suppose if a better name is needed, we'll adopt one per the guidlines. Some of us don't have the time to fool ourselves with airs of self-importance by trying to keep up with every simple minded suggestion which shows up or is adopted as proposed guidelines. Sorry, not going to happen when things need done— but gas away all you like. Enough of us usually know such trivial minutia to get things fixed up collaboratively, but bring them up in a far less hostile and unproductive manner. I'll take my actions over yours any day of the week, at least I'm trying to add content or organize it better.
Status Changes—While writing the above, I applied {{ db-author}} to the first (Fabartus user page) category, with link here, and deleted the category reference to same in the two project categories. Best regards, // Fra nkB 04:29, 24 June 2006 (UTC) reply

I moved the only one article of this cat José Clayton to Category:Brazilian-Tunisians, because he is Tunisian with Brazilian descent, NOT Brazilian with Tunisian descent. Matt86hk talk 04:14, 15 June 2006 (UTC) reply

A category is not the best place for a set of rumours as there's no way to source them in it; this could probably be listified, however. Related discussion at Wikipedia:Categories for deletion/Log/2006 June 10#Category:People alledged to be gay. Ziggurat 03:31, 15 June 2006 (UTC) reply

At first I was merely going to send this to speedy for recapitalization, but similar categories use "Muslim". Sumahoy 01:05, 15 June 2006 (UTC). reply

The result of the debate was rename Category:Boston Reds players to Category:Boston Reds (PL) players (technically, there's no majority, but important information was found by Meegs). Conscious 15:55, 23 June 2006 (UTC) reply

These ought to be merged, no preference as to how -- ProveIt (talk) 00:50, 15 June 2006 (UTC) reply
Our article Union Association doesn't mention a team named the Reds, nor does our article Boston Reds mention an 1884 team by that name, however it does seem that the team existed ( Baseball reference, Hall of Fame). I will update those articles once I've had a chance to do more research. As for the categories, we actually seem to have one for each instance right now:
I suppose we should rename Category:Boston Reds players to Category:Boston Reds (PA) players, and leave it at that. × Meegs 06:12, 15 June 2006 (UTC) reply
Why not Category:Boston Reds (PL) players (c.f. New York Giants (PL)). Is PA the normal abbreviation? SeventyThree( Talk) 22:30, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
Of course it should be Category:Boston Reds (PL) players. Thanks for catching my mistake. × Meegs 23:57, 16 June 2006 (UTC) reply

Contains only two items, both of which will shortly be removed per a recent unanimous decision on Wikipedia:WikiProject Dinosaurs regarding superfluous categories. Category was created by User:Elmo12456, who did not consult the team members, and only added the category to four pages (out of 800 genera). The group's decision is that such a category was arbitrary because diet of dinosaurs is speculative in many instances.-- Firsfron of Ronchester 00:36, 15 June 2006 (UTC) reply

From talk page:

This is category creep. Eventually, the majority of templates will either incorporate at least a couple parser functions or become obselete. — Jun. 9, '06 [14:50] < freak| talk>

Hi Freak. I created this out of fear we'd have a hard time finding the PF using templates. But I agree with your sentiment. If that PF stuff is stable enough (as it seems so), there isn't much reason for this cat here anymore. I wouldn't have a problem if you nominate this for deletion. -- Ligulem 14:57, 9 June 2006 (UTC) reply

Additional concerns I have about this category:

  1. I would estimate that it is less than 50% complete anyway.
  2. It doesn't include templates that call a sub-template using parser functions, due to <noinclude>.
  3. If the subtemplate is substed into the first template, the parser function is forever present and the categorization is forever lost.
  4. It's impossible to maintain.

— Jun. 15, '06 [00:35] < freak| talk>

I agree with freak's concerns, especially with the No. 1 and 4. That cat had some merits in the early stages of M:PF. But now it is rather ballast. If there aren't any concerns found about that proposed deletion, let's delete it per freak. -- Ligulem 08:06, 15 June 2006 (UTC) reply
