Comment @Robby, Laurel Lodged, and Infrogmation: I was in the process of closing this when I noticed that almost all of the content of Category:Mountain passes by mountain range is in a different format, so:
Question Which format is best for contents of Category:Mountain passes by mountain range (number of current adherants in ())?
- "Mountain passes in mountain range" (17)
- "Mountain passes of mountain range" (10)
- "mountain range (adjectival form) passes" (1)
- "mountain range (adjectival form) mountain passes" (1)
- "Pässe im mountain range" (1): German-language analog of option 1 above.
- Form 1 above is best in line with standard Commons category naming practice. "Mountain passes" accurately reflects the parent Category:Mountain passes. "In" is the best descriptor for the relationship here, as the passes are physically located within the mountain range. Form 2 is also a standard practice, but the "of" is less well suited to indicating location. This is not a huge matter, as there aren't exactly other types of relationships (from, by, etc.) we would practically have for mountain passes and ranges, but since 'in' is more precise, it is preferred. As for the other forms, having to use adjectival forms of proper names can be problematic as that is not always as easily or consistently arrived at. Off course the changing German to English should be straight-forward. Since each of those forms are one-offs, I think they can be renamed/merged into the first form listed without much issue.
- Any objection to standardizing on Form 1 above as it is both the most widely used and best in line with category naming policy? Josh (talk) 23:53, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
- Option 1 while clunkier is best for navigation. Laurel Lodged (talk) 08:39, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
- Option 1 although not bein a native English speaker.Robby (talk) 15:28, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
