Move of Port Authority Trans-Hudson

I nominated to move the article Port Authority Trans-Hudson to PATH (rapid transit) at Talk:Port Authority Trans-Hudson#Requested move 09 October 2014. I believe there is consensus that PATH is the common name for the system, but there are disagreements as to how PATH should be disambiguated. Any comment from members of this project would be helpful. Thank you. Tinlinkin (talk) 19:53, 23 October 2014 (UTC)

Embedded list of notables with a see also to the corresponding category

At some point over the past few years, I saw an article for a city that had a list of notables and at the top of the the list was a see also to the corresponding category for notables from that place, and I started implementing that practice in hundreds of articles. For example, the Notable people section in the article for Dumont, New Jersey has a see also link at the top of the section to Category:People from Dumont, New Jersey, and there are hundreds of other articles for places in New Jersey and the surrounding area that implement this as well. This practice serves several purposes: 1) In the exact spirit of WP:CLS, it allows the embedded list to be updated from the corresponding category and to have the category updated from the embedded list in synergistic fashion when one gets out of synch with the other, allowing links and entries to be updated from each other. 2) It serves as a marker to remind those adding notables to the embedded list to remember to add the entry to the corresponding category. 3) It allows the category to be readily carried over when the embedded list is turned into a standalone article. 4) And it provides a gateway to allow readers to use the category system to navigate across other categories for notables from the same area. I have seen this method used elsewhere, but there are editors who have raised an issue with this technique. Does this practice contravene policy? Is there any issue with doing this in articles? I've also posted this to Wikipedia talk:Categories, lists, and navigation templates which is probably the best place for a centralized discussion. Alansohn (talk) 21:53, 9 December 2014 (UTC)
