This category and the ones it can get confused with, see
need additional hatnotes: What makes the Mohawk subculture different from the Mohawk hairstyle (and the Mohawk tribe, although that latter one is more obvious). Given the content of this category (which includes mostly people with notable Mohawk-(hairstyle)-like hairstyles), it seems impossible to distinguish between Mohawk hairstyle and Mohawk subculture. Also, the subculture doesn't even have any WP articles that define or describe it. Enyavar (talk) 09:05, 21 September 2024 (UTC)
- Punk is a subculture, and sometime well after the hairstyle was first used by the namesake it came into vogue within punk. I imagine that is what Wieralee was intending, and for my part I think this cat should be fully osmoted (I think other people call it 'diffused' but osmosis is more memorable to me for some reason) to the subcats, on the basis of being an ambiguous name if for no other reason.

- You can't create a category without attaching it to an existing category tree. Such categories are immediately deleted. When I saw that you did something like that, I wanted to help you and pinned the category where (according to my knowledge) it should be. If you think my edit was wrong, just correct it.

- If this category is merely here to collect images of punks with mohawk hairstyles, I'd suggest to have "Mohawk hairstyle in Punk fashion" as child-nodes of both the Category:Mohawk hairstyle and the "Category:Punk fashion". The "Mohawk" category would then be a disambiguation for the crater, the town, the ship, the tribe, the hairstyle etc. --Enyavar (talk) 09:44, 21 September 2024 (UTC)
- That proposal (that is, to make a category:Mohawk hairstyles in punk fashion) seems like a good solution to me. Thanks to Wieralee for helping with the initial placement among the categories. Arlo James Barnes 19:40, 24 September 2024 (UTC)
Done (probably?): I made the debated category into a disambig and moved all images from here into Category:Mohawk hairstyles and its subcategories, which now include Category:Mohawk hairstyle in Punk fashion, and a few additional color-themed subcategories (with double categorizations if a Mohawk is both blue and Punk, etc.). There were also a few Category:Mohawk tribe images, that I moved there. @Arlo Barnes: does this look okay? --Enyavar (talk) 20:05, 25 September 2024 (UTC)
- yes, well done! Arlo James Barnes 17:50, 26 September 2024 (UTC)
