Rename to Category:L'Inconstant (model) or something to that effect? Themightyquill (talk) 09:26, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
- @Themightyquill: there seems to be a big mess, how to name ship models. Eg I saw Category:Models of ships and its subcategories. Could user:Stunteltje or user:Niklitov help?--Estopedist1 (talk) 13:31, 19 November 2021 (UTC)
- There is a common way to name categories in Wikimedia Commons for ships. Standard: <Schipname> (ship, <year of completion>) Shipname as painted on the ship or by registrated name, without prefixes. When the year of completion is not known, just <Shipname> (ship), with Category:Ship categories with missing year. In this case I suggest Category:Models of brigs when this is a single image of the vessel and Category:Ships named Inconstant.--Stunteltje (talk) 20:53, 20 November 2021 (UTC)
- @Stunteltje: So then Category:Inconstant (ship, 1811) stays the same, but Category:L'Inconstant (brig) gets moved to Category:Scale model of Inconstant (ship, 1811) (matching the others in Category:Models of brigs)? -- Themightyquill (talk) 13:26, 21 November 2021 (UTC)
- Yes. Also with Category:Inconstant (ship, 1811). (I did not check the year of completion.) --Stunteltje (talk) 13:32, 21 November 2021 (UTC)
