Rename the category!?[edit]

This Cate is only for Categories by … so it is common to name this Category to Category:Categories by, because today Reinhard Müller removed several Categories, which have now no main-category anymore (in the underlying meaning of the name).User: Perhelion (Commons: = crap?)  22:51, 6 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I noticed that some people mistook this category as being about the "topic of categories", like a normal topic category. In fact, there is no such topic category, AFAICT. The most logical thing, IMHO, would be to
  1. rename Category:Meta categories to Category:Meta categories (flat list) (because that's what it really is)
  2. rename Category:Categories to Category:Meta categories (because that's what it really is)
  3. have Category:Categories free to use as a topic category

@Ottawahitech: Hi, and welcome. Yes, all of our YouTube videos are in subcategories of Category:Videos from YouTube by channel. See also Commons:YouTube files and Commons:Video#Finding videos online.   — Jeff G. please ping or talk to me 02:40, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
