Category:Ancient Hostels in Egypt

Hostels should not be capitalized, IMHO. Take this as an opportunity to discuss other things around the cat. If nothing else, we will only change the name. E4024 (talk) 06:05, 14 December 2017 (UTC)

I'm not sure the word "hostel" applies as it is being used on commons. At the same time, I can't think of a better word for a place used to accommodate pilgrims. - Themightyquill (talk) 20:41, 14 December 2017 (UTC)

I've tagged Category:Pilgrim houses (and sub-categories), Category:Hospices in Jerusalem, and Category:Pilgrim buildings (lodging) for further discussion. Should we be using "Pilgrim hostels", "Pilgrim houses", "Pilgrim lodgings" or some other term to encompass this idea? Thanks. - Themightyquill (talk) 14:25, 14 April 2020 (UTC)

@Themightyquill: We call "casa dos romeiros" here to buildings which are built for the purpose of housing pilgrims that come to visit a sanctuary.-- Darwin ^Ahoy! 19:31, 27 September 2020 (UTC)

@Themightyquill and DarwIn: we have eg Category:Casa dos Romeiros (Ponta Delgada, Madeira), which is categorized under Category:Pilgrim houses. Maybe the latter category name gives solution to the nominated category?--Estopedist1 (talk) 22:28, 28 November 2021 (UTC)

The discussion has been going on for seven years now, has anything been decided yet? Antoine.01_overleg(Antoine) 16:54, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
