Preventing bad categorisation[edit]

Please do not divide ➗ this category into "Category:Coins of the Five Dynasties" and "Category:Coins of the Ten Kingdoms" because the definition of "a Dynasty" and "a Kingdom" was something given by later Chinese historians based on the "son of heaven" logic and the majority of these "Kingdoms" called themselves "Empires" (only a few like Wuyue kept calling themselves "a Kingdom" for their entirety). Also having a single "master category" address all of the countries that existed in this period (except for the Liao Dynasty and the Song Dynasty) is easier. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 14:08, 4 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
