Recent changes to the category Nightclubs by city

[edit]

Hello Elkost, you recently removed most cities from the Category:Nightclubs by city and moved them to new categories such as "Nightclubs in country xy by city".

I work a lot with the category Nightclubs by city and with images of nightclubs of different countries. With the new structure, it is very cumbersome to move between cities: you first have to move to the new supercategory Category:Nightclubs by city by country that you created, then navigate to another country, and finally to the category of the city where you wanted to go. This is very inconvenient from a navigation point of view.

For these reasons, can we please keep the helpful and easy to navigate category Nightclubs by city in the structure it has had so far, gladly also in parallel with the new structure that you created?

Hi, Rio65trio! Although I'm too active in this project (with ~400,000 edits) this is the first time to see such a complain. In fact categorization is made by distribution of files (by criterion/criteria) into subcategories in order to reduce their number in a category and facilitate searching.
It is so easy to find a subcategory of a city in a country – in the “Category:Nightclubs by city by country” just point (by the cursor) at the small triangle left of the country name and a drop-down list of cities will appear, etc.
If such searching is so difficult and embarrassing to you, it's possible to create “Category:Nightclubs by name”. --Elkost (talk) 10:22, 15 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, I see the function with the drop-down list, which I was not familiar with before. However, you have to re-open these drop-down lists every time you navigate back. But in this case it would be desirable to find all countries in this new category, even if they (like Switzerland, Austria or Lithuania) contain only one city so far. What should happen to the category "Nightclubs by city" when it finally contains only the last remaining category "Nightclubs by city by country"? --Rio65trio (talk) 19:05, 15 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
