This discussion of one or several categories is now closed. Please do not make any edits to this archive.

The categories listed below are all grandchildren of Category:L'Illustration by year. L'Illustration is a French magazine. I want to rename these categories to include the magazine name. What I want input on is the following:

  • We shouldn't need both the issue number and the date. Can we remove either the issue number or the date from the category names? I would favor leaving the issue number without the date. If we leave both, should/could the date be put inside parentheses?
  • If we leave only the dates, should the dates be translated into English?

Sample new category names, depending on answers to the above:

  1. Category:L'Illustration No 3748 2 Janvier 1915 (keep both, date in French)
  2. Category:L'Illustration No 3748 2 January 1915 (keep both, date in English)
  3. Category:L'Illustration No 3748 (keep only issue number)
  4. Category:L'Illustration 2 Janvier 1915 (keep only date, in French)
  5. Category:L'Illustration 2 January 1915 (keep only date, in English)

Here are the categories in question:

I think the date is more useful than the issue number. I'd suggest using English dates, but perhaps with a comma to separate the title from the date (e.g. Category:L'Illustration, 2 January 1915) - Themightyquill (talk) 09:00, 3 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I'd be OK with that. My preference for the issue number isn't strong. The important things are to get the magazine name in the title and not have redundant info. --Auntof6 (talk) 09:23, 3 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
