Category name[edit]
Basically, my categorisation scheme for Taiwan aka ROC follows this principle:
| period | before 1912 | 1912-1949 | after 1949 |
| encompassing category | Category:China | ||
| specific categories | Category:China | Category:Republic of China (1912–1949) | Category:People's Republic of China |
| period | before 1895 | 1895-1945 | after 1945 |
| encompassing category | Category:Taiwan | ||
| specific categories | Category:Taiwan | Category:Taiwan under Japanese rule | Category:Taiwan |
Using Taiwan as the category name, even though the official name is "Republic of China", is not a perfect solution, but it's less problematic than using ROC as the title. The concept ROC is in fact a combination of two rather different concepts -- "Republic of China (1912–1949)" and "Taiwan after 1945". Roy17 (talk) 10:09, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
