[edit]
@Joshbaumgartner and Storye book: I created the Template:Food by quantity for the Category:Food by quantity.
- Category:1 food
- Category:2 of food
- Category:3 of food:
- ...
- Category:13 of food
- ...
- Category:Many of food
My question: Ist "Many of food" correct or or should it better be "Many food"? (or is both correct)

- Thank you for asking me to help. There is a problem here with the use of the word "food", because the word does not represent an object to be counted; it is a type. So the word "foods" would mean more than one type of food (not more than one piece of food). It would make sense to change the following:
- Category:1 food → 1 piece of food OR 1 item of food
- Category:2 of food → 2 pieces of food OR 2 items of food
- Category:3 of food → 3 pieces of food OR 3 items of food
- ...
- Category:13 of food → 13 pieces of food OR 13 items of food
- ...
- Category:Many of food → Many pieces of food OR Many items of food
- Similarly, one of your subcategories:
- Category:2 breads → 2 pieces of bread OR many bread items (because bread is a type, too)
- I have not looked at any more of your subcategories, so I suggest that you check through to see if there are any more confusions between types and countable objects.
- Keep up the good work! Storye book (talk) 14:40, 27 July 2022 (UTC)
