Commons:Categories for discussion/2021/02/Category:Magazines about sports
I'd say let's rename this to "Category:Sports magazines" as in WP and WD. Simple, precise, easier to find... E4024 (talk) 14:07, 18 February 2021 (UTC)
- As there can be seen in Category:Magazines by subject, prevalent naming convention of Commons seems to be a bit different from en:Wikipedia. --ŠJů (talk) 00:54, 19 February 2021 (UTC)
- I see... Then maybe we should rename Category:Poetry magazines. --E4024 (talk) 01:00, 19 February 2021 (UTC)
- Seems like it's about 4/1 in favor of "about." Although, IMO it should still be changed. As the word is completely unnecessary and doesn't fit convention or the other Wikimedia platforms. Let alone the conventions of a lot of other Commons categories that are connected to magazines or similar topics. Generally though, the less words in a category title the better. Otherwise, things can get a little obtuse when you start adding "by" or "in" categories to them. Like "Sports magazines by subject" is just all around easier to deal with and read then "Magazines about sports by subject." More so when you get into country categories. "Magazines about sports of Russia" just doesn't roll of the tongue. Nor is it accurate. Whereas, "Sports magazines of Russia" does and is. --Adamant1 (talk) 05:58, 31 May 2021 (UTC)
- the preposition "about" is prevalent in parent Category:Magazines by subject. We should start CFD at some higher category, if the preposition "about" is not suitable, or if we want to use enwiki solutions Estopedist1 (talk) 22:06, 27 December 2021 (UTC)
- Sometimes it's better to not go with how Wikipedia does things. Commons doesn't have to (and shouldn't) be a 1/1 recreation of the way Wikipedia names and organizes stuff. --Adamant1 (talk) 03:08, 28 December 2021 (UTC)
