Category:Images including source code in their description[edit]

There are 2 categories :

It seems to be a duplication. Am I right ? --Adam majewski (talk) 07:59, 11 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Images including source code in their description was created in Jan 2010, Category:Created with code in Oct 2014. The real duplication doesn't seem to be between those two, but between categories such as "Images with Matlab source code‎" and "Created with MATLAB code‎", etc. It seems a little unfortunate that when Sarang set his stuff up, he didn't slot it into the already-existing hierarchy, but instead set up a whole new hierarchy of categories.

This duplication as shown at the example of MATLAB results from the fact that the category diffusion performed in the "Created ..." did not fit into the system of the "Images ..." categories. This problem is solved by setting up the 'new' system.
The 'new' category follows another concept. Instead of collecting all files in one very large category, a system of subcategories diffuses the large number of SVG files: the appropriate category "..valid SVG created with ... code" is contained in a hierarchy of several supercategories, one of them the mentioned Created with ... code.
Besides of the automatic assignement, this rather stringent systems seems to me better than the insular solution. It is intended to replace the use of categories like "Images with xxx source code‎" by the new "Created with xxx code‎". Currently both ideas coexist, and the "new" category is a subcategory of the 'old' one.
It will be not any problem to dispense with the diffusion and change to the categorization into the 'old' category, if the new one seems nonsense. Or to change the template following any other category concept. -- sarang♥사랑 06:30, 12 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Category:Images including source code in their description is also a "meta-category" (currently directly contains exactly one file). And speaking of duplication, there certainly seems to be some w.r.t. Category:PNG created with MATLAB code and Category:SVG created with MATLAB code vs Category:PNG created with MATLAB and Category:SVG created with MATLAB... -- AnonMoos (talk) 00:30, 17 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Hi AnonMoos, the mentioned Dykstra algorithm.svg had been "hard" categorized by Jochen - this can happen to every Metacat. As another small problem, there exists no category "Images with XML code" or "SVG created with XML code", nor are Inkscape-SVGs assumed to be created with any code. I do not know of any other file with this problem, that let me hesitate to establish a quick solution.
Your example e.g. SVG created with MATLAB code, the metacat of "Valid/Invalid SVG created with MATLAB code", is not a duplication but a hierarchy: it is subcat of SVG created with MATLAB (and of Created with MATLAB code and SVG created with ... code).
Is this category structure too fine? -- sarang♥사랑 08:56, 26 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Pages : Images created with code my or may not contain code used to create such image. Category Images including src code is IMHO very important and should not be deleted. --Adam majewski (talk) 15:45, 2 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Adam majewski, AnonMoos, Sarang, and Adam majewski: Closed (no consensus to delete/merge, further proposals can be raised in a new CfD) Josh (talk) 09:01, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
