It seems important to me that Article names and Category names be as appropriate (i.e. as recognizable) as possible, and that Article names and corresponding Category names be reasonably consistent with each other. However it does not appear to be widely understood how to search Wikipedia for existing Category names. I attempted to explain that here, but my edit was reverted. The naming of articles and the naming of categories have a lot in common as regards considerations such as being recognizable and consistent — and how to research the most appropriate naming. I have linked to discussions on this under recognizable and consistent above, and welcome comments. LittleBen ( talk) 11:39, 1 July 2012 (UTC)
There are a lot of debates going on now about accents/diacritics in article titles. What are people's thoughts on the use of accents in category names? while I support accents/diacritics in Article titles, redirects don't work as well for categories, so I think there's a fair argument to not having diacritics or accents in category names for english wp. What do others think? -- Obi-Wan Kenobi ( talk) 21:08, 28 July 2012 (UTC)
These shortcuts are for article naming, not category naming. Dpleibovitz ( talk) 17:02, 17 August 2013 (UTC)
