Post split discussion[edit]

Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2024 April 29#Category:Lists of films by year

Split. --Qwerfjkl talk 17:30, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This requires splitting Template:Films by country or language. @Pppery: can you perhaps have a look? Marcocapelle (talk) 09:50, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I've edited the template. There are three "by year and genre" parents left in the base category. Maybe keep Category:Lists of films by year as a parent of those three and the two new categories? * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 16:32, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- That sounds reasonable. @Qwerfjkl: can we just keep the category, or should the discussion be relisted including the above comments? Marcocapelle (talk) 13:03, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  - Marcocapelle, Pppery, we could then rename the cat accordingly? — Qwerfjkl talk 18:32, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Rename it to what? * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 18:35, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    
    @Qwerfjkl: Category:Lists of films by year is still the best name for it. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:57, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I'm not sure it really needs further discussion, it seems to naturally follow on from the splitting. I'll ping the contributors to the CfD to see if any of them have any objections. @Bearcat, @Dr. Blofeld. — Qwerfjkl talk 19:12, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keeping this as a parent category for the new subcategories is precisely what I suggested in my CFD nomination anyway, so obviously I have no objection to that. So long as the by-year and by-language categories are funneled into more specific subcategories, this obviously still has value as a parent for those. Bearcat (talk) 19:52, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
