I haven't been able to find an existing category for people that are/were masons. I see Zeph made "Template:Mason" but it doesn't seem to have been used for anything. Since finding a gravestone with a masonic symbol on it seems pretty common, would anyone mind if I made Category: Mason? Has this been discussed before?

I haven't been able to find an existing category for people that are/were masons. I see Zeph made "Template:Mason" but it doesn't seem to have been used for anything. Since finding a gravestone with a masonic symbol on it seems pretty common, would anyone mind if I made Category: Mason? Has this been discussed before? Plcoffey 15:24, June 24, 2010 (UTC)
