Category:Funeral carriages[edit]

Is there a difference between a Category:Funeral carriages and a Category:Horse-drawn hearses that I'm not seeing? Themightyquill (talk) 08:54, 19 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

A funeral carriage could be drawn by oxen -> File:Bodleian Ms. Burm. a. 5 fol075-3.jpg. How about making Category:Horse-drawn hearses a subcategory of Category:Funeral carriages. And Category:Funeral carriages can be placed directly into Category:Hearses instead of the parent category Category:Funeral vehicles. - Takeaway (talk) 10:37, 19 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
On second thought, Category:Funeral carriages should be changed into a redirect to Category:Hearses. - Takeaway (talk) 10:42, 19 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
... and then there's trains, see Category:Funeral Carriage, Paranapiacaba ... @Themightyquill and Takeaway. Mike Peel (talk) 01:13, 9 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Good eye, Mike Peel. I'm starting to think Category:Funeral carriages is too ambiguous. Maybe we can redirect that to Category:Funeral vehicles with the following category tree.

What do you think? Takeaway? - Themightyquill (talk) 17:27, 9 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

 Comment Looks really good Themightyquill. Please do! (PS I'm sure that there are also a few "funeral ships" in Category:Ship burials.) - Takeaway (talk) 19:16, 9 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Looks like a sensible plan to me, @Themightyquill, although I'm not sure where individual train carriages used as funeral carriages fit in (under funeral trains, even if they don't have a train attached?). Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 08:56, 10 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
For some reason, Category:Hearses wasn't tagged for this discussion. To be clear, I'm suggesting redirecting Category:Hearses to Category:Funeral vehicles. - Themightyquill (talk) 20:17, 26 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, no opposition in a year. I'm closing. @Ruthven: Could you please help move Category:Hearses by decade (and its subcategories) to Category:Funeral vehicles by decade, Category:Hearses by color to Category:Funeral vehicles by color, and the sub-categories of Category:Funeral vehicles by country from "Hearses in X" to "Funeral vehicles in X".
Please note: There's no need to change all categories including the word "hearses" - Category:Motorcycle hearses‎, Category:Hearses (automobiles)‎, Category:Horse-drawn hearses‎ and their subcategories are fine. Thanks! I can check the categorization and templates when they're all moved. Thanks! - Themightyquill (talk) 09:06, 5 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Themightyquill I can do it. Shall we move also Category:Winton_hearse_in_the_Gilmore_Car_Museum or the word hearse is correct here? (sorry, I'm not a native English speaker) Ruthven (msg) 09:11, 5 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
No, that category is fine the way it is. "Hearse" can mean many types of funeral vehicles, so it's not wrong in any of these cases, just ambiguous. Thanks! - Themightyquill (talk) 09:14, 5 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Changes made as proposed above. - Themightyquill (talk) 15:47, 5 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
