[edit] Merger
If you want to make a significant change to the purpose of List of organic compounds, it's best to propose it first at Wikipedia:WikiProject Chemistry. I have reverted your changes to the list, but left your merge suggestion. Thanks. --Ed (Edgar181) 13:48, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
- The question belongs here, where the page is. Merging articles into categories is a laborious process, and it's more laborious if you don't know how to do it. The template includes space for details, rationale, or procedures in the proposal, but it doesn't display, so I didn't write it that way. So please, either revert your own edit, or explain why you disagree with the objective.
- My rationale is simple. The category allows for subcategories and therefore better organization, and in a semi-automatic fashion. The category is already bigger. All that maintenance should entail is putting articles that are in the general class of "organic compounds" into more specific categories. This manual list should be a duplication of effort, but it can still serve the purpose of requesting articles (or seeing that a request has been filled, but not categorized).
- The purpose of the manual list won't go away, as in you can't move it without creating dead links, AFAIK. For the most part, I see more point, at this time, to following my own recommendation and making articles refer to categories, but they should also refer to this list.
