Finnish war children

Hello Nakonana,

Thanks for creating Category:Finnish Children of the Second World War. I changed the category order so that Category:Finnish war children is a sub-category of that, instead of the other way around. In Finland and Sweden sotalapset refers specifically to the children evacuated from Finland to Sweden during World War II. MKFI (talk) 08:06, 11 December 2023 (UTC)

Hi,

ah, I see, thanks for changing the order, I didn't know about the Finnish terminology! In English it sounds like "Finnish war children" would refer to all sorts of wars, like, WW1 + WW2, etc. that's why I assumed that Category:Finnish Children of the Second World War would be a sub-category of that. It might be worth to add a note to the page maybe? So that other people won't change the order of the categories again based on the same misunderstanding as I did.

Given the Finnish terminology here, how would you name the hypothetical parent category of Category:Finnish Children of the Second World War and Category:Finnish Children of the First World War? Asking in case I decide to go on an image hunt of children in WW1, too. Nakonana (talk) 15:38, 11 December 2023 (UTC)

Hi,

I have added a description to Category:Finnish war children. You will probably want to look for examples from other countries if any exists, but something like Category:Finnish children in war might work as a parent category. A see also cat hatnote will help.
