Category:Animated GIF of Strokkur[edit]

Move to Category:Animations of Strokkur

This also applies to:

Thanks for your response, BD2412. Perhaps there aren't currently animations of orbits that are not GIF files, but there certainly could be animations of orbits produced in ogv, svg and png formats. And the reasons for not creating Category:Animations of orbits with a subcat of Category:Animated gifs of orbits is to avoid mixing filetype category trees and content category trees - the same reason we don't have Category:JPEG photographs of dogs and Category:GIF photographs of dogs as a sub-categories of Category:Photographs of dogs. - Themightyquill (talk) 08:23, 11 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

OK 3 year old discussion. I did redirect to Category:Animations of Strokkur as suggested by user:Themightyquill--Estopedist1 (talk) 07:13, 2 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
