Subcat

The subcat page which you linked to supports using subcategories instead of a century category:

• "Apart from certain exceptions (i.e. non-diffusing subcategories, see below), an article should be categorised as low down in the category hierarchy as possible, without duplication in parent categories above it."

The Interwar period specifically covers November 1918 to September 1939. Why do you think that a 20th century (1901-2000) is more appropriate? Dimadick (talk) 06:40, 25 March 2019 (UTC)

This relates to edits such as this.

Hi Dimadick. The topic of the 1920s (for example) is a subtopic of the interwar period; not the other way round.  WP:SUBCAT begins "If logical membership of one category implies logical membership of a second ..." and also says "Category chains formed by parent–child relationships should never form closed loops". The bit about being as low down as possible (imo) means whilst also obeying the other (fundamental) rules of categorization. I.e. it's an additional rule, not an alternative option to following the other rules. DexDor ^(talk) 07:11, 25 March 2019 (UTC)

Then, should I reverse the parent-child relationship? It excludes military vehicles of the late 1910s, which are part of the interwar period. Dimadick (talk) 07:13, 25 March 2019 (UTC)

Dimadick, The 1910s and the interwar period are overlapping topics, but neither is a subtopic of the other.  Hence, putting those two categories in a parent child relationship in either direction would be wrong (e.g. it would cause miscategorization of articles); in such cases it may be useful to put see-also links between the categories.

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Ottawa portal

A tag has been placed on Category:Ottawa portal requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Liz ^{Read!
