Category:Roundhouse Park currently has three subcategories Category:Don Station, Category:John Street Roundhouse and Category:Toronto Railway Museum. I am not suggesting any of these categories are redundant. But I would appreciate the opinion of others as to when an image belongs in Category:Roundhouse Park, and when it belongs in the subcategory Category:Toronto Railway Museum.

- That's a really good question. One we encounter fairly often when we have a category both for a large public space, as well as subcats for elements within the public space. I assume that the trains and rail-related buildings within the park belong to the museum? Assuming that's the case, I'd put close-up photographs of outdoor exhibits (rolling stock, buildings) in the museum category (since those photos primarily pertain to the museum pieces themselves) and the wider-angle shots in the parent park category (even if those photos happen to also capture some of the museum's train cars, etc.). That still doesn't answer what to do with the Don station category, or even whether the museum cat ought to be a subcat of the roundhouse cat. Sometimes these situations give rise to limited exceptions from the COM:OVERCAT rule. There is no correct answer. Your thoughts? --Skeezix1000 (talk) 16:09, 5 May 2014 (UTC)
- I'd say anything depiciting the park and it surroundings, but not specifically focused on a train (etc) or on the Roundhouse building should go in the park category. At the moment, that might only include File:John Street Roundhouse May 2011.jpg, File:Panoramic View of Roundhouse Park.jpg, File:CN Tower Roundhouse Park Toronto.jpg, File:John Street Roundhouse from the top of the Toronto Dominion Centre.jpg, and File:RoundhousePark (10595897).jpg. Images like this File:Toronto former CP roundhouse 16010334578.jpg (depicting mostly the roundhouse) should go in the roundhouse category. - Themightyquill (talk) 18:37, 29 March 2017 (UTC)
