Category names[edit]
Hi, I've noticed the good cat work you've been doing on some Devon images. A quick point regarding the names of new categories: Try to keep the conjunctions as consistent as possible.
As a rule-of-thumb, for natural topics the cats should be at "topic of location", and artificial topics its "topic in location" - but of course there are many exceptions. The simplest way to work it out is to look at a higher level cat, so Category:Bridges of Totnes should be at Category:Bridges in Totnes to match Category:Bridges in Devon.--Nilfanion (talk) 10:33, 14 January 2013 (UTC)
- ah, OK then. Will a redirect do? Sophie means wisdom (talk) 10:35, 14 January 2013 (UTC)
- Normal redirects don't work with categories, but a category redirect is appropriate for this (use {{Category redirect|<target>}}).--Nilfanion (talk) 10:39, 14 January 2013 (UTC)
