Category:The Gardens
editI hope you don't mind: I have made Category:The Gardens into a disambiguation page rather than redirecting it to one individual topic as Category:The Gardens, Northern Territory, which the pictures in the category were of, already existed. Calistemon (talk) 11:07, 31 August 2023 (UTC)
- Seems a good idea. I don't know much about the Northern Territory, so I wasn't sure how to deal with this category. Thoughtfortheday (talk) 15:56, 31 August 2023 (UTC)
Do you have any opinion regarding the above discussion? (The design and use of early churches and high crosses is a deflection - I'm not asking you about that). My main concern is that the editor concerned is continually removing "chancel" categories and replacing them with "apse" categories and/or "eastern end" categories, regardless of whether the church is oriented east-west. I don't mind if they use the "apse" categories or "eastern end" categories where appropriate. The problem is that they remove the "chancel" categories, and I have so far failed to persuade them of the existence of the chancel. I have so far only been concerned with changes made on images of North and West Yorkshire 19th-century churches, uploaded by me. Most 19th-century English churches, as you will know, are consistent in design regarding the location and usage of the chancel, so in all the cases so far, the chancel can be easily identified. Any ideas about what to do about this? Cheers. Storye book (talk) 11:13, 12 December 2023 (UTC)
- I first noticed this editor's ongoing work on "eastern ends" in connection with chancels in Hertfordshire, where apses were newly highlighted as a category. I found the apse category useful for Hertfordshire where there are a small number of apses providing a contrast with the typical chancels. However, looking at the changes in respect of Yorkshire chancels, I agree that the "eastern end" category isn't really adequate as a replacement for the word chancel.

How to ask for speedy-delete of an empty category
editWhen you want to ask for speedy-delete of an empty category, best practice is to mark it with {{SD|C2}} if it would be OK to re-create it in the future, given that appropriate content becomes available or {{SD|C1}} if it is an inappropriate category name that should not be reused. In particular, this is better practice than just blanking the category page, as you did at Category:Ocatgonal church towers in Spain. ("C1" and "C2" come from Commons:Criteria for speedy deletion).

- When you do this: the "tlx" was just so this would show on your talk page without asking for the talk page to be deleted. That is, you want to use {{SD|C2}} not {{tlx|SD|C2}}. Jmabel ! talk 23:33, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks. I realised that there was something I hadn't understood fully. Thoughtfortheday (talk) 06:46, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
