Category talk:Lists of lists

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"lists of lists"?!? Is that all? Maybe we need "lists of lists of lists". I think that the user will be confused. Can be just get rid of this? -- Fplay 08:34, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

    • Why get rid of it? Let someone do a search and put them all in.Ortho 04:51, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Suggestion to merge in Structured Lists

I've been trying to figure out what a Structured List was supposed to be. If no one steps up with a better definition I have no problem with merging them. --JeffW 04:08, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

What page are you referring to? Could you maybe provide a link? I couldn't find it. 68.162.31.68 18:57, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Self-categorization

I contend that this is a reasonable category to be self-referencing. As per Wikipedia:Categorization: "However, acceptable loops also exist. Self-referencing systems such as the meta- fields naturally create cycles that provide many examples." This category is obviously a list whose members are also lists, and therefore falls under the category of lists of lists, which happens to be itself. -Heartofgoldfish 07:35, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

Except that only articles are considered to be "Lists" not categories. All categories are lists of course but it would be ridiculous to include every category page on this page. --JeffW 04:10, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Misuse of LoL category

I think there is some misunderstanding about what articles belong in this category. This category is for lists of lists - that is, the items in this category are lists that contain other lists. It is not for any List_of_* article. Many of the articles in this category do not belong here. --71.224.239.10 15:29, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
