Categories

[edit]

Hi. At Dami Im, you added the category Category:Australian female singers. There are two issues with that:

  • She is already in the category Category:Australian female singer-songwriters, which is a sub-category of Category:Australian female singers. Because these are diffusing categories, she does not need to be added to both, and should, instead, just be in the most specific category, which she is.
  • As a matter of convention, categories are generally kept in alpha order (in other words, a new category starting with Australian would go in order with the other Australian cats).

I removed the excess category for this reason. See the recent conversations at WP:TH#Categories and Wikipedia:Teahouse/Questions/Archive 1032#Why have two users deleted a category unnecessarily twice using HOTCAT? for more info. Cheers! —[AlanM1(talk)]— 23:13, 19 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
