Category:Suffragists[edit]
The parent cats of this one with those of Suffragettes have almost practically been reversed and this brings about strange appearances for individual women articles in various language WPs. I could -maybe- correct the mess by myself but I thought a discussion would be helpful for those colleagues who -sometimes- tend to use our "categories" as if they were "tags" in Instagram.

- Wikidata has decided that "Suffragist" is any women's suffrage activist, and "Suffragette" is a member of the British "Women's Social and Political Union." This ignores the fact that en:Suffragette does not make this differentiation (nor does common usage) and that we also have Category:Members of the Women's Social and Political Union. Moreover, a "suffragist" could apply to anyone advocating for anyone's right to vote, not just women's right to vote. - Themightyquill (talk) 09:31, 25 February 2019 (UTC)
- I propose the redirection of Category:Suffragists to Category:Suffrage activists, and the redirection of Category:Suffragettes (ambiguous) to Category:Women's suffrage activists (in Category:Women's suffrage and Category:Suffrage activists). Category:Members of the Women's Social and Political Union fits nicely in Category:Women's suffrage activists. - Themightyquill (talk) 10:30, 27 February 2019 (UTC)
- That sounds reasonable, with redirects or disambiguation at the original cats. And while we're at it, do we really need Category:Suffragettes wearing fur? --Auntof6 (talk) 14:44, 27 February 2019 (UTC)
- Nearly all these photos are named with suffragettes, often by the ladies theirself. Why should we rename it? It is interesting, so many woman of the suffragette movement belongs to the middle and upper class, the furs show. -- Kürschner (talk) 20:47, 5 March 2019 (UTC)

Also, Category:Suffragists or whatever name supplants it certainly should not be specific to the UK. The term is used equally for women's suffrage advocates in the United States and, I presume, elsewhere. - Jmabel ! talk 05:55, 10 March 2019 (UTC)
I'm not a native speaker of English thus whatever consistent solution found by the native speakers would for sure better than anything I can propose. -- SERGIO (aka the Blackcat) 18:21, 12 May 2019 (UTC)
Moved to Category:Suffrage activists and Category:Women's suffrage activists etc. - Themightyquill (talk) 11:26, 13 May 2019 (UTC)
