Is there an important difference between Category:Files (engineering) and its parent category, Category:Files and rasps that I'm not seeing? The former links to wikipedia categories about the act of filing, while the latter to wikipedia categories about the tool used, but the content here is identical as far as I can see. I propose deleting this category and moving content to Category:Files and rasps. Themightyquill (talk) 08:19, 8 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Just maybe the difference might be that the sub-category contains files, whilst the supercategory contains both files and rasps. Andy Dingley (talk) 21:10, 8 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps a move to Category:Files (hand tool) is needed, at the very least? - Themightyquill (talk) 07:36, 13 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I think files, as it is, is fine (and a few of them aren't hand tools). If the rasps are in a category above that's a fine distinction, but it is a real one. Andy Dingley (talk) 08:18, 13 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I just don't think "(engineering)" is a good disambiguation. Category:Files (tools) would be better if they aren't all hand tools. - Themightyquill (talk) 09:40, 13 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Hand files might be best, as the clearest. Any machine files can stay in the parent at Files and rasps Andy Dingley (talk) 13:21, 12 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Moved to Category:Hand files per discussion. -- Themightyquill (talk) 22:48, 24 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
