Category:Sportswomen[edit]

I propose renaming all "sportswomen" categories to use the term "female sportspeople". Two reasons: one is that these categories are categorized as being by gender, but using the term "women" adds an age component as well and thereby excludes girls. Second, most of the corresponding male categories use "male sportspeople" (I will be renaming those that use "sportsmen"). Auntof6 (talk) 22:34, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, but is damn a lot of work! O_O--Louis.attene (talk) 22:46, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I wouldn't mind doing it. I like big monotonous projects. --Auntof6 (talk) 00:41, 19 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks @Auntof6: , it was just what I was about to explain to @Louis.attene: in our common language.
Italiano: Brevemente, Louis, Sporswomen implica donne adulte, ma le giovani ginnaste non sono Women, sono Girls perché < 18 etc. etc.

Si si avevo capito. Posso tranquillamente dare una mano. Ok ok understood. i can aid without problems--Louis.attene (talk) 09:56, 19 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. (I can read a bit of Italian, although I don't remember enough to speak/write it.) It's easier and preferable for someone with the filemover right to do this, because the category can be moved without losing its history. Either that, or let the automated process do it. --Auntof6 (talk) 11:20, 19 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Auntof6: You're almost done - would you like to finish this? Thanks. - Themightyquill (talk) 12:19, 21 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Themightyquill: Yes, working on it now. --Auntof6 (talk) 00:28, 23 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Themightyquill: Done with the ones I see that I can do. Do we want to leave the old categories as redirects? Also, I can't move this main category because Category:Female sportspeople already exists. Can you move this one? --Auntof6 (talk) 00:35, 23 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

All done. Thanks Auntof6. - Themightyquill (talk) 17:45, 23 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
