Per Category:SVG files, "In general, topical categorization by file type is not allowed. Exceptions are: SVG files and to some extent PDF files plus DJVU files, and MIDI files." Therefore, I suggest creating Category:Greek letters with two font lines (sans, SVG) instead and swapping the contents of this and the parent category. ๐๐ค๐ฏ๐บ๐ช๐ค๐๐๐ท๐ฎ๐ฅ๐๐บ๐ด๐๐๐ฐ (๐๐ฎ๐ญ๐ ) 14:14, 10 January 2021 (UTC)
ย Oppose I agree, that categorization by file type is generally a bad idea. But in cases like this, the (typically newer) SVG files are the ones that should be used, and the (typically older) PNG files are superseded. They are kept for all kinds of reasons (e.g. to preserve the attribution chain), but usually they will never be used again. It makes perfect sense, that the superseded images are tucked away in a subcategory, while the ones to be used are directly in it. If this contradicts the letter of some rule, then the rule shold be discussed and adapted, rather than mechanically followed. It would just be confusing to go to a category page, and see only superseded images, while the images to be used are nested one level deeper. It would probably lead to superseded files being used accidentally. --Watchduck (quack) 15:35, 10 January 2021 (UTC)
