Rearranged category

[edit]

I've separated this category from Category:Wikipedia administrative categories, and removed the cleanup tag on this category. This category is now for encyclopedic articles about Wikipedia. Please note that articles about Wikipedia do not fall under Wikipedia:Avoid self-reference; that policy states that we should never mention that our articles are currently hosted on Wikipedia. -- Creidieki 18:12, 28 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Top-level category

[edit]

This looks like a top-level category. As such, it should be a member of Category:Categories, as per the Categorisation FAQ. Elonka 11:22, 22 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What makes you think it's a top level category? It's not. Mirror Vax 11:29, 22 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
It's not, it's just a category about some website. --Gmaxwell 05:56, 25 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Rename category?

[edit]

Would anyone object to renaming this category to "Articles about Wikipedia"? "Wikipedia" seems to encompass all of Wikipedia, including help pages and so forth. None of the pages in this category are related to Wikipedia; they're about Wikipedia. I'm quite willing to perform all the recategorisation myself, if no-one objects. // Pathoschild (admin / talk) 10:55, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

oppose. they are indeed about Wikipedia and the the Wikipedia category name is appropriate for it. it does not have to be so long and contrived like Articles about Wikipedia. Category:Wikipedia administration is the one that should contain the help pages, not Category:Wikipedia. Category:Microsoft is another short category name about Microsoft. -- Zondor 20:00, 25 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Where would, for example, templates be categorised? They would fit under a category named 'Wikipedia', which would logically group anything Wikipedia-related. However, they have nothing whatsoever to do with Wikipedia administration. // Pathoschild (admin / talk) 04:48, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
project templates like {{stub}} belong in Category:Wikipedia administration. navigational ones like {{East Asia}} are instead encyclopaedic. -- Zondor 06:37, 27 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
