Each of us takes the buden he chooses. I understand the biology categories. Believe me when I say that it is enough work for a contributor. Liné1 (talk) 05:57, 15 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I don't understand what you're saying here. If you want this discussion to go the way you want, then you need to explain why the category is needed. --Auntof6 (talk) 07:24, 15 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
That would hardcode the category. Better to remove the old category and add a template such as {{CatCat}}: that template puts a notice on the cat page and adds the category. --Auntof6 (talk) 20:37, 14 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I have no idea what coding does Auntof6 speak about. The proposal is merely:
Let us be clear, only a fan of taxonomy can correct those files. You have to check if the file has a species category. Often, there are 2 species displayed, so the taxonomist has to check which one is displayed. As you can see, there are not many files, because I take the job seriously. By the way, there are other maintenance cat for biology: Category:Commons biology maintenanceLiné1 (talk) 06:02, 15 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Not seeing any solid reasoning to keep, I'm prepared to move forward with this. @Auntof6: would you like to undertake step 2 (adding {{Catcat}} to all those subcategories)? After that's done we can delete as proposed. - Themightyquill (talk) 09:15, 23 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Themightyquill: Yes. It looks like I can do that by changing the templates that define these categories. I can both add {{Catcat}} and remove Category:Biology categories that should contain no files. However, please note that at least some of the subcategories, such as Category:Species of Polemoniaceae, have the following in their description: "This category should only contain Species categories and galleries. It should contain no file." I am of the opinion that galleries also do not belong in categories marked with {{Catcat}}. Will there be an objection if I remove the galleries from the subcategories as well? --Auntof6 (talk) 10:59, 23 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Auntof6: I would suggest you tag a few with this discussion to get input. I don't see why those galleries should be there, since the already have categories of their own. --- Themightyquill (talk) 11:19, 23 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
OK, I've removed most of them. The ones that are left I think would be OK to have files. I need to get off the computer now, so I'll address that and the issue mentioned above later. --Auntof6 (talk) 13:17, 23 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
