Category:8-bit digital art[edit]

In 2012-2016, this CfD resulted in a much-needed reorganisation of categories related to 2D visual art created with a computer. However, 'category:pixel art' was also moved/redirected to 'category:8-bit digital art' at that time. Now, "8-bit" has a specific meaning that is narrower than just "pixel art", and so a discussion recently started at category talk:8-bit digital art about how the groupings of files contained within should be restructured. The consensus was to undo the aforementioned move (presumably either manually or by bot) so that more explicit categories as to colour depth, palettes, and so on could be established under 'pixel art'. It was thought wise to bring this proposal and any related issues up for wider discussion via this new CfD. Arlo James Barnes 07:58, 12 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I don't fully understand, but from the talk page, there seems to be consensus for the following:
  • category:digital art
    • category:art at pixel scale
      • Art made for / on a particular architecture (not just colour depth but also palette, pixel shape, etc.)
      • subcatted per architecture, and then per artist if we happen to have multiple pieces
      • intentionally downsampled art
If that's what people want, it's fine with me. - Themightyquill (talk) 09:23, 15 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Arlo Barnes: Does that work? -- Themightyquill (talk) 09:32, 11 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Oops, sorry I didn't see your first message in this CfD until now. Yes, I was part of the consensus at that talk page of course, so if there are no objections here I'd like to proceed with the reorganisation along the lines you quoted there. Arlo James Barnes 10:05, 11 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Arlo Barnes: Great. I'll leave it to the experts to sort the content. -- Themightyquill (talk) 10:32, 11 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Resolved. -- Themightyquill (talk) 10:33, 11 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
