Knowledge (XXG):Categories for discussion/Log/2012 February 22

1799:. In principle, like several other editors who have taken part in many similar discussions in the past, I support the use of the "Old Fooian" format where it is actually used, and we do not have a general policy in favour of stamping it out. With regard to suggestions of ambiguity, huge numbers of Knowledge (XXG) pages have names which include ambiguous terms. Where there is a real problem, an answer is found: often the primary meaning has the simple term for a name, while other meanings get a longer name, including some qualifier. "Old Victorian" could, if necessary, become "Old Victorians (Jersey)". In the case of categories, it seems unlikely that people are confused by supposedly ambiguous terms. If there is the beginning of a problem, it can be dealt with by a summary at the head of the category. 2003:: All on this list seem to fit in with the arguments for renaming, although the case is overstated with the sentence "The "old fooians" format is used as inhouse jargon only by a small minority of schools in the UK". I think that it is quite a large minority of schools in the UK which use this format as inhouse jargon, but some statistics would be useful to confirm whether this is correct. Furthermore, whether the minority is large or small is not relevant, because the rest of the analysis is applicable. On renaming the categories, the step "their terminology should be explained in the head article and in a hatnote on the category itself" needs to be dealt with so that the information about the relevant "old fooians" format is readily available to the reader. 1817:, an alternative to parenthetical disambiguation is to use a descriptive format, as is proposed here. This is routinely done for categories, because it creates a simple and predictable format of category names. Due of the risk of miscategorisation (which is hard to monitor), there is a growing convention with categories to disambiguate many terms which are treated as primary topics in article space. Anyway, in what way do you think that "Old Victorians (Jersey)" is clearer than "People educated at Victoria College, Jersey"? Your preferred "Old Victorians (Jersey)" reads to me as meaning people from the Victorian era, in Jersey. -- 2132:

supposed to link category name and article name. This makes it easy to determine if there is an article, easy to know what the category would be named, and easy to rename the category when the institution changes name or the article name is changed. The former is not as uncommon as some may thing and the later becomes crucial in disambiguation. The fact that several of these categories could easily be applied to multiple category names indicates that there is no consistent reason for these schools to be so designated.

educated at" category. People who are familiar with the "Old Fooian" term would not be confused when faced with a "people educated at" category. I think that the potential for confusion is pretty unidirectional. Disclosure; I'm an Old Fooian myself. Still think the categories should have more generic names. Let each one explain its history and commonly used nomenclature on a per case basis.

1895:, and Charterhouse is a highly-regarded public school). Previous attempts to these categories rename en masse became very heated as some editors claims that some schools terminology were particularly well known, and the large group nom did not lend itself to examining those claims. Discussions of smaller groups of allow us to examine each case individually. -- 699:, at least 5 of the articles are clearly defined by category (didn't look at every bio) so it would aid navigation. OK with current title based on main article name; OK with creating additional cat for internation org if there are at least 5 articles. There are a lot of close calls on these discussions but this cat seems completely fine to me. 528:'s category clutter is predominantly caused by his notable achievements in several spheres (literary, military and political) and by the extraordinary length of his career at the top of politics and his stature as a wartime leader. He was a Cabinet Minister in 1908, and quit as PM in 1955. That's the equivalent of Hilary Clinton or 149:. (did I say that out loud - I LOVE categories!!) It is not part of any existing scheme, it is a case of over-categorisation and the contents are better served by the article itself. A template may also be an idea of some merit. Note that I had cleaned out articles that were related to the international organisation of which 2195:

It is quite untrue to say that no consensus has been reached at previous discussions on these topics. That was the case until about a year ago, but since then dozens of such categories have been renamed (since you obviously read the nomination before commenting, you will know that there is a list of

I think it's fair to say that there has been consensus that we should generally avoid these types of category names because they are ambiguous, unclear to those without pre-existing background knowledge, and essentially jargon-based,

Similar renamings have been proposed several times before, and until mid-2011 such discussions mostly closed as "no consensus"; I have found no case where there was consensus to retain an unqualified "old Fooian" category. In mid-2011, since a new standardised format of "People educated at" has been

BHG has demonstrated the two main points 1- only a small percentage of users will recognize these category names 2- we have a precedent to not use denonyms for cities of a few million people, there is not reason to use them for much smaller locations. Beyond this, she persuasively points out we are

of all such anachronistic listings. We need to use language that is clear and easy to understand. It is clear and obvious when you see a category named "People educated at Cardiff High School", but if you see a category named "Old Sheep Shaggers" you would have to click the category and look at the

as per all the arguments given. Categories are supposed to be an index - currently the pages will not/do not make a workable index for the vast majority of people. It should not be necessary to click a category to find out to what it refers. The traditional name can be supplied in header text at the

I am unsure what you mean by "primary indexing mechanism". Categories are for navigating through articles relating to a topic. A close relationship to the subject is important. They work best when descriptive title are used for the category and for the article. It is often the case that bio articles

I don't think that's necessarily true—especially if there are people who are primarily notable for their leadership of Planned Parenthood.

On the contrary, the fact that the category for the US organisation had filled up with articles related to the IPPF is a very clear indication that the current category title is ambiguous. Oh, and if you are going to post a link, wouldn't it be a good idea to check that it has some relevance?

Categories exist as a navigational device, and obscure, ambiguous, or misleading category names are an obstacle to navigation. The title of a category appears without explanation at the bottom of each of the biographical articles to which is attached and in its parent categories list of

The "old fooians" format is used as inhouse jargon only by a small minority of schools in the UK. The nuances of it will be unfamiliar to the majority of UK citizens, whose schools did not use this format, and there is no reason to expect them to guess the meaning of these terms.

228:. That's six articles which unquestionably belong there, so on those grounds alone it's a slam-dunk keep. I have not checked any of the biogs, but I would be surprised if at last some of them are not ppl for whom involvement with Planned Parenthood is a defining characteristic. 299:

2696:, while the new NSB is a spin-off company. Merging them or creating a super-category because they have the same name is OR. Tracing the old NSB into the current day would also result in most Norway-railway-related articles being categoriesed into this tree. For instance, 1655:

Sorry about the verbosity. These categories used to be v controversial, I was trying to cover all the points which left so many previous CfDs as a confused "no consensus". But we have now moved on from that gridlock, so if and when I nominate any more it will be terser.

Allows readers to navigate the large number of articles related to PP. It's disingenuous of the nom to cite geocentrism as a problem with the category since I suggested creating a category on the IPPF and he didn't like the idea. – 3267:. In the first case for instance, the Our Gang films apparently represent 168 of the 170 Hal Roach shorts that have Knowledge (XXG) articles. If we just upmerge, the two remaining articles will be drowned in the Our Gang ocean. 1922:. After so many similar categories have been renamed, it is surprising that some of the remaining ones, such as these, are really obscure. We should now aim for consistency as the principle of renaming them is now clear. -- 1753:

I agree that caution should be taken in creating category redirects, and they should not be created for terms which have another primary meaning. Apart from list given by the IP above, I would add a bar on any that use a
