:This shoud reverted per the consensus reached on the previous discussion. Besides Red Bull F1 team, there are a lot more teams that its location differs from their license like Toyota (WEC and WRC), Hyundai (WRC), McLaren at Indy and new Prema team at Indy. It makes more sense saying that Toyota is Japanese and grouping with other japanese teams or saying McLaren British instead of saying Toyota is based in Koln (or that Finnish town with funny name) and putting in same category as Abt or Porsche Motorsport, or that McLaren indy team is located in the US.

Need some help for my first Wiki page!
I'm trying to slowly get to grips with creating pages on Wikipedia and have started with a subject I know. Any help would be appreciated!!!! Car man311 (talk) 20:46, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
Auto racing team categories
In May 2023, all the "<country> auto racing teams" categories were moved without discussion to "Auto racing teams in <country>", e.g. Category:Australian auto racing teams was moved to Category:Auto racing teams in Australia. At the time, there was a discussion at WT:F1 where the consensus was that the moves should be reverted (because, for example, Red Bull Racing is definitely an "Austrian auto racing team" but it's questionable whether it's an "auto racing team in Austria", because its base is in England), but nothing ever came of it. I'm still of the opinion that the moves should be reverted, so I thought I'd check if there is consensus in this wider forum before lodging a request. DH85868993 (talk) 11:32, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
- This shoud reverted per the consensus reached on the previous discussion. Besides Red Bull F1 team, there are a lot more teams that its location differs from their license like Toyota (WEC and WRC), Hyundai (WRC), McLaren at Indy and new Prema team at Indy. It makes more sense saying that Toyota is Japanese and grouping with other japanese teams or saying McLaren British instead of saying Toyota is based in Koln (or that Finnish town with funny name) and putting in same category as Abt or Porsche Motorsport, or that McLaren indy team is located in the US.

- The problem with this is the sources. You can easily find sources for addresses I imagine, but not so much licenses. Rally Wonk (talk) 15:24, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
- It will be a similar situation with drivers. The question that nationality/license in teams is less relevant/notable than in drivers. When the license is different from the country where the team is based, being an odd situation, I believe it will be highly sourced (depending on the notability of the team of course).

- I have proposed that the categories be renamed. The discussion is at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2024 June 11#Auto racing teams. DH85868993 (talk) 11:40, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
- I don't want to get too pedantic here but can I suggest motorsport in place of auto racing ? That really grates. Lesser so, but still dare I also raise that some might not be teams, some are also manufacturers or engineering companies. Rally Wonk (talk) 15:22, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
