Category talk:Mountains of Middle-earth

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Middle-earth Wikiproject This category is within the scope of WikiProject Middle-earth, which aims to build an encyclopedic guide to J. R. R. Tolkien's legendarium. Please visit the project page for details.


I've put this category back into category:mountains because a cursory examination of the subcategories of Category:Fictional shows widespread subcategorization of other fictional things under the categories of their real-world counterparts. For example:

  • Category:Fictional aircraft is under Category:Aircraft
  • Category:Fictional ships is under Category:Ships
  • Category:Fictional spacecraft is under Category:Spacecraft
  • Category:Fictional foods is under Category:Food and drink
  • Category:Fictional languages is under Category:Constructed languages, which is a subcategory of Category:Languages
  • Category:Fictional books is under Category:Books

etc. If this is incorrect, then there needs to be some sort of widespread policy discussion to establish that. Until then I think this category belongs under Category:Mountains in some way, perhaps with a Category:Fictional mountains in between if there are any other articles about fictional mountains around to add into it.
