Category:Boundary markers

What's the difference between Category:Border markers and Category:Boundary markers? Themightyquill (talk) 09:58, 30 January 2020 (UTC)

Border markers mark borders, boundary markers mark boundaries. Not all "boundaries" are at the scale of international borders. There are counties, towns, customs levy areas, large estates, hunting lands, railway lands, dockyards, military camps and ranges, all of which have "boundaries" which are marked in this way.

Not all Category:Borders are Category:International borders. At its basic definition, I don't think there's any difference between "boundaries" and "borders" which explains the dab page at Category:Boundaries.- Themightyquill (talk)

@Andy Dingley @Themightyquill I believe this needs to be fixed, indeed, with country border markers moved to International border markers or something like that. Darwin ^Ahoy! 14:12, 26 November 2023 (UTC)

@DarwIn: Agreed. I think Category:International border markers as a subcategory of both Category:International borders and either Category:Border markers or Category:Boundary markers makes sense. But the last two should be merged. The wikipedia article is at en:Boundary marker but lists Border marker as alternative name. Category:Boundaries is a disambig page. -- Themightyquill (talk) 09:44, 30 November 2023 (UTC)

@Themightyquill I very much agree with what you propose here. Can you please implement it and close the discussion? Or I can do it, if you want. Darwin ^Ahoy! 14:23, 2 December 2023 (UTC)
