Category talk:Gallery pages about animals
We also have Category:Gallery pages of animals and I cannot see the difference. E4024 (talk) 18:59, 6 April 2021 (UTC)
- The idea is that the use of ABOUT is to leave room for things related to animals. Galleries OF animals are normally very specific.--Jacquesverlaeken (talk) 19:27, 15 April 2021 (UTC)
- Hmmm. I was almost suspecting that in the case of OF, the animals were making galleries (of themselves :). --E4024 (talk) 19:45, 15 April 2021 (UTC)
- If you think this separation is so important, useful and other people (those more intelligent than me :) will not get confused about which image to hang at which wall, no problem for me if you wish to close this discussion. I will try to keep away from these galleries not to make mistakes... E4024 (talk) 19:45, 15 April 2021 (UTC)
- There are 14 Categories named Gallery pages about ..., and it seems you are the first to have a kind of problem. I could search for a good example, but I prefer a closure of this discussion ... Jacquesverlaeken (talk) 20:52, 17 April 2021 (UTC)
- I took the following hatnote from the "Category:Gallery pages of animals" and bolded it for you: "List of galleries of animals by their common (English) names, and things related to animals." When you have two identical cats, you have two problems, not one. E4024 (talk) 21:33, 17 April 2021 (UTC)
- Good point! The note for this very early category (2014) should be modified to avoid ambiguïty since the creation (by me) in 2016 of the Category about animals. talk) 10:04, 30 April 2021 (UTC) --Jacquesverlaeken (talk) 21:59, 3 May 2021 (UTC)

- I am often confused about which preposition to use on Commons, or what the differences are between/when to use 'of', 'about', 'from', 'in', etcetera. I too did not know the difference between gallery pages of and about a subject. So can there please be one central Commons page where the differences are explained for non native English speakers? (Not only for gallery pages but for categories as well?) --JopkeB (talk) 08:53, 22 January 2022 (UTC)

Merge Keep Category:Gallery pages about animals because that is the broader one (the parent/main category). For who are we making this seperation? Only for the few editors who know the difference? My focus is on end users. Now you have always to look at two places whether there is a category for the gallery you are looking for. I prefer one place. @E4024 and Jacquesverlaeken: Do you agree? Then we can close this discussion and implement the solution. --JopkeB (talk) 05:27, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
- Absolutely in agreement, as it meets my comments and yours. Note that there are similar issues for locations (in or at or of ...). Jacquesverlaeken (talk) 08:03, 1 September 2024 (UTC)

- One reason for that is many things that are actually in one of these cats might well be in the other instead (per description ). --E4024 (talk) 14:09, 5 May 2021 (UTC)
- confusing, parent is Category:Gallery pages about nature--Estopedist1 (talk) 08:11, 19 November 2021 (UTC)
