Template talk:Categories by x by y

{{CatCat}} vs. {{MetaCat}}

Hello @OmegaFallon: why are you using {{CatCat}} not {{MetaCat}} for the Infobox display on the top?

• For {{CatCat}} it is stated on Template:MetaCat#See also:

* {{CatCat}} – Used when a main category should contain no files but only other categories, but is NOT part of a Meta-categorization schema of 'XXX by YYY' form.

• For {{MetaCat}} it is stated there:

Use this tag for meta categories only, that should only contain other categories that ARE grouped by a specified criterion.

But maybe it was only layout reason, i dont know, because the text itself displayed by the templates in the boxes is quite same and resembling not the different ideas stated in the doc-pages (a weakness of both templates itself):

• For {{CatCat}}

This category should only contain other categories. Galleries should be in the corresponding categories instead. Files should be in a parent or subcategory.

• For {{MetaCat}}

This meta category should only contain other categories. Files should either be in the relevant subcategory or in the parent category.
