Is there an important difference from Category:Beheadings that I'm missing? Themightyquill (talk) 09:25, 17 February 2017 (UTC)

Maybe beheadings are deliberate (for example, executions) and decapitations can be accidental (such as in vehicle accidents)? Also, "beheading" may apply only to people, not animals or statues. I'm not sure that was the intent with these categories, but they could be distinguished in those ways. --Auntof6 (talk) 10:32, 17 February 2017 (UTC)

Valid points. How about the following tree:

• Category:Headlessness
  • Category:Decapitation
    • Category:Decapitation in art
    • Category:Decapitated animals
    • Category:Beheadings > Category:Decapitations of people (a sub of Category:Human heads)
      • Category:Beheadings in art > Category:Decapitations of people in art (sub of Category:Human heads in art)
      • Category:Executions by decapitation

Does that look okay? - Themightyquill (talk) 12:52, 17 February 2017 (UTC)

 Support that makes sens to me. --Bohème (talk) 13:46, 17 February 2017 (UTC)

That makes sense, with a description in each explaining how they're used. --Auntof6 (talk) 17:50, 17 February 2017 (UTC)
