Category:Lunar New Year by year

[edit]

I find this tree pretty problematic. cats are named in LNY XXXX, but XXXX CNY. subcats of XXXX CNY are not uniform again. some are XXXX CNY in 'place xyz', some CNY XXXX in 'place xyz', and some in other random formats.

Should we unify the format?

If yes, I suggest LNY/CNY XXXX, and LNY/CNY XXXX in 'place xyz'. Roy17 (talk) 19:04, 10 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Do you want to do the same with Tết? ie, move Category:Tết in 2010 to Category:Tết 2010? I guess Category:Lunar New Year 2019 at NTID‎ would be an exception where "at" rather than "in" is most appropriate. Themightyquill (talk) 09:19, 11 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I think your suggestion is reasonable. FYI, I created some "Lunar New Year XXXX" categories (maybe first, in 2016). At that time, I also found similar inconsistency between "XXXX Chinese New Year" and "New Year XXXX" categories. Then, I tried to keep consistency with the parent categories ("New Year XXXX") to the "Lunar New Year" categories. Perhaps I should have fixed all at once at that time.--Morio (talk) 10:57, 11 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I have no opinion with regard to Tết, but looking at Category:Tết_in_Ho_Chi_Minh_City_by_year, it does seem to look better to have Tết 2019 in Ho Chi Minh City than Tết in Ho Chi Minh City in 2019. Googling "Tết 2019" seems to show this expression is commonly used. I added CfD notices to some Tết cats to invite Vietnamese users (Category:Tết Category:Tết in Ho Chi Minh City in 2020 Category:Tết in 2020 Category:Tết in 2019).
Of course grammar rules apply and we should use at for small places like NTID.--Roy17 (talk) 11:45, 11 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

stale discussion. Definitely we must be consistent, but what is the most proper format here? Calling help from @Auntof6 and Themightyquill: ?--Estopedist1 (talk) 12:12, 11 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know that it's that important to be consistent across all grandchild categories. Everything in this category is internally consistent. Everything in the Chinese New Year by year is internally consistent. We have Category:New Year's Eve 2011‎ but Category:2011 New Year's Eve concerts‎. You would spend a long time trying to make all of commons dates perfectly consistent. I'd just leave it alone. -- Themightyquill (talk) 21:53, 11 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

speechless... to navigate thru commons is often a nightmare... Roy17 (talk) 16:31, 16 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I suggest "XXXX Lunar New Year" for all levels of LNY/CNY. Numbers in front for easier sorting.
Leave the tree of Tết at where it is. Roy17 (talk) 21:22, 16 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
LNY XXXX, since cat:New Year also uses this structure. Everything will be harmonised if no new opinions are raised in a month.--Roy17 (talk) 16:28, 2 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Example of the new format:

Lunar New Year 2020
Chinese New Year 2020
Chinese New Year 2020 by country
Chinese New Year 2020 in Canada
Chinese New Year 2020 in China

No changes were made to The cat tree of Tết.--Roy17 (talk) 12:02, 9 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
