Request about Category:National costumes of Sweden

Dear Astridx, Several years ago you participated in Commons:Categories for discussion/2015/05/Category:National costumes by country. Now that discussion has been closed, together with the follow-up Commons:Categories for discussion/2020/07/Category:Traditional clothes by country. The outcome is that there will be one title for all kind of traditional clothing, traditional clothes, traditional costumes, national costumes and folk national costumes, namely Traditional clothing. There is one exception, the one you mentioned in the discussion: if a national costume really is a national costume, like Sweden has.
For Sweden the situation will be:

• Main category: Category:Traditional clothing of Sweden (relatively new, only one file now).
• Subcategories:
  • Category:National costumes of Sweden with only the real national costume of Sweden;
  • the other subcategories that are now in Category:National costumes of Sweden, but who are not really national costumes, but regional or local ones.

My request for you is: would you be able to make these changes? I do not know how the real national costume of Sweden looks like and I am afraid a lot will go wrong when I do it. And I assume that you do know. Please, let me know. JopkeB (talk) 09:02, 20 September 2021 (UTC)
