"Ville-Marie," the central borough of Montreal, is getting all too commonly confused with Category:Ville-Marie, Quebec - a distant small Quebec town. I think the best route is to rename this one as Category:Ville-Marie (Montreal) in keeping with other boroughs requiring disambiguation at Category:Montreal boroughs. Is there consensus to do so -- or a simpler way to avoid Montreal images ending up in the unrelated category? thanks, Shawn in Montreal (talk) 16:14, 8 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support w:Ville-Marie is a DAB page and the criteria for primary topics for Commons categories is higher than WP articles. However Category:Ville-Marie, Montreal would appear to be the usual form of disambiguation. Crouch, Swale (talk) 12:06, 12 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks Crouch, Swale. I see that en:WP:PLACEDAB does indeed support the use of comma, as you say. It would make it an outlier in Category:Montreal boroughs, but perhaps that could be corrected later. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 14:46, 12 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  - Yes most of those in w:Category:Boroughs of Montreal use "Quebec" as the disambiguator, however Ville-Marie is different in that there is another in Quebec so using "Montreal" is sensible here and that's what WP uses for Ville-Marie. Crouch, Swale (talk) 13:04, 14 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    - That's interesting. Yes, there's a big disconnect between the enwiki and Commons categories, and not simply in the punctuation. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 13:57, 14 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
