[edit] Categorization

Regarding your revert to restore Category:Ottawa to this article:

Why shouldn't this be in the Ottawa category?

See Wikipedia:Categorization/Categories_and_subcategories. An article should not be in a category and its subcategory. In this case, Category:Ottawa is a higher-level category, and Category:Ottawa festivals is its subcategory (by way of Category:Culture of Ottawa). None of the other Ottawa festival articles have such duplication - if we duplicate for the Folk Festival, consistency demands all other Ottawa festivals (Tulip Festival etc) also be put in Category:Ottawa. And then this necessarily follows for all the other Ottawa subcategories. So the question is, do Ottawa festival articles meet these Wikipedia:Categorization/Categories_and_subcategories#Reasons for duplication?

I understand your point, and didn't realize that Ottawa Festivals was a subcat of Ottawa. Reading the document you referred me to, though, I stopped at "The basic principle is that the duplication makes it easier, and not harder, for users to find articles." I think that the festivals are a bit deep in Ottawa's category structure right now. Although they make sense in the hierarchy where they are from a categorization point of view, I think people searching for them may not go several clicks under culture.

One option to solve this problem would be to unroll the Festivals cat into Culture, moving all the pages there. But there is value in seeing "Ottawa festivals" at the bottom of article pages. How about moving the Ottawa Festivals subcat up so it is directly under Ottawa? -- cmh 00:40, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

Or even have it in both places (as with Sports subcat) -- cmh 00:42, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

Similar treatment as Sports sounds good i.e. see the Festivals subcat directly from Category:Ottawa. Agreed on this? Dl2000 01:18, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

Sounds good. Can you make the change? Not sure exactly how the cats stuff works. -- cmh 01:37, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

Done - you can review the updated subcats of Category:Ottawa Dl2000 02:45, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
