Category:Former country subdivisions Rename to the clearer Former subdivisions of countries --Lokal_Profil 14:22, 6 November 2007 (UTC)  Oppose It is not clearer, these are different expressions with different meanings. “Former country subdivision” is easily understandable, with the help of the English Wikipedia article country subdivision if needed. --Juiced lemon 23:18, 7 November 2007 (UTC) Former country subdivisions can be interpreted as both "subdivisions of former countries" and "former subdivisions of current countries". As far as I've understood it's only intended to be used for "former subdivisions of current countries" since it is not part of the Category:Former countries-tree. Therefore Former subdivisions of countries is clearer. /Lokal_Profil 00:10, 8 November 2007 (UTC) “Former country subdivisions” could be interpreted as “former subdivisions in current countries”, too. You cannot deduce anything from the current content of Category:Former country subdivisions. We'll create the subcategory Category:Former subdivisions by country (according to Commons conventions) when needed. --Juiced lemon 10:48, 8 November 2007 (UTC) “former subdivisions in current countries” and "former subdivisions of current countries" is not that far from each other but completly separeate from "subdivisions of former countries". But yes you're suggestion is better. Rename "Former country subdivisions" to "Former subdivisions by country" which is much clearer./ Lokal_Profil 11:26, 8 November 2007 (UTC) Moved to Category:Former subdivisions by country, with the former category remaining a redirect. 哦，是吗？(висчвын) 17:55, 17 May 2008 (GMT)
