: I agree with everything on that topic so far. I also suggest that we follow parts of Wikipedia's style guides for categories, more specifically [[Wikipedia: WP:TOPICCAT]], [[Wikipedia: WP:SUBCAT]] and [[Wikipedia: WP:DIFFUSE]]. | |||
: '''Plurals''': Use singular for topic categories and plural for set categories. | |||
: Examples: | |||
:* [[:Category:Scale]] (correct: topic category, to include pages like [[Periodic scale]] and [[Hexany]]) | |||
:* [[:Category:Scales]] (correct: set category, to be diffused in subcategories — see below) | |||
:* <s>Category:Musician</s> (unless we have pages that would fit in a "Musician" topic category rather than pages about specific musicians) | |||
:* [[:Category:Musicians]] (correct) | |||
: '''Subcategorization''': If logical membership of one category implies logical membership of a second (an is-a relationship), then the first category should be made a subcategory (directly or indirectly) of the second. | |||
: Example: | |||
:* [[:Category:Small comma]] in [[:Category:Comma]] in [[:Category:Theory]] (correct) | |||
: '''Diffusion''': Do not include a page both in a category and its parent category unless the category is a non-diffusing category. | |||
: Examples: | |||
:* [[Meantone7]] in [[:Category:7-tone scales]], but not in [[:Category:Scales]] (correct) | |||
:* <s>5L 2s in Category:7-tone scales and in Category:Scales</s> | |||
:* [[5L 2s]] in [[:Category:7-tone scales]] and in [[:Category:MOS scales]] (correct, because the second category would be non-diffusing) | |||
: '''Metacategories''': schemes of subcategories can be organized with metacategories. | |||
: Example: | |||
:* [[:Category:Scales by number of tones]] (correct, to contain categories such as [[:Category:7-tone scales]]) | |||
: Aside the fact that there are multiple redundant categories for various topics (which is already noted with [[:Category:Todo:merge categories]]), it is often the case that pages about a topic and pages in a set are mixed together in one or many of those categories. [[:Category:Scale]] is a good example of that phenomenon. | |||
: I think there is a way to move and reorganize existing pages and categories efficiently using Cat-a-lot, but I'm not very familiar with it, and I don't know if I even have the user right to use it for that matter. --[[User:Fredg999|Fredg999]] ([[User talk:Fredg999|talk]]) 22:38, 1 August 2021 (UTC) | |||
