We already have Category:Adage, do we need this category as well, or could it be redirected? Mike Peel (talk) 12:02, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
- Keep Category:Adages, redirect Category:Adage to it, per our usual standards for pluralisation of category names. Andy Dingley (talk) 12:51, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
- I'm happy either way, what seems odd to me is the duplication of categories not the names. I simply suggested merging new to old. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 12:59, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
- If I were in your place I would simply do the needed, there is nothing to discuss here, Mike Peel. Use "Adages". Just blow "Adage" up. (BTW -not for this case, in general- some people all the time create unnecessary cats here and when you open a CfD they do not even come to discuss. I can show you examples of my CfDs or other people's CfDs, and I am not referring to people who opened a cat in 2013 and are not active since 2014 or 2015. These discussions tend to go loooong time -mostly without participation after the first one or two days- and in the meantime errors get consolidated or the same people who do not deign to participate in the discussions about their mistakes continue to build their own erroneous cat tree...) So just act. Nobody opposes. Consensus to merge. E4024 (talk) 23:12, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
- @E4024: I can confirm your experience. Although I assume that creation of unnecessary is mostly done in good faith, I sometimes would have liked a means to stop it. Couldn't be there a blocking mechnism for a certain amount of time, or something like that? - Jochen Burghardt (talk) 15:22, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
- @E4024: If I'm sure it's a duplicate, I tend to go ahead and merge. If I'm not sure, I start a CfD and see what others think. I wasn't sure here. :-) Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 17:14, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
