Forums: Index > Watercooler > Competing cat structures commons vs wp
There are some conflicts between Wikipedia category structure and Commons. I propose that Image content (and related templates) use Commons cat structure, and textual content (eg:copied content from WP articles) use en:WP cat structure. Of course we can tweak things as we go along, but cat redirects don't work like Page redirects, necessitating bot runs to actually reCat articles.

If functionally identical names and structure conform to neither, then we should have a good reason why. It creates a lot of needless busy work if we create cat structures different from commons and WP for reasons that are less than vital to the interests of the genealogy wikia. ~ Phlox 17:40, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

Cats that don't conform[]
- Category:Copyright/Category:Copyright tags and commons copy: Category:License tags They overlap. (Commons for whatever reason uses "License" for all of their templates.
- Category:Settlements and category:Municipalities (I copied the commons municipalities, but it seems underpopulated, and besides settlements seems better- more general, covering very small entities like villages that one wouldn't consider municipalities.) ~ Phlox 03:23, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
