Category talk:Wikipedia bureaucrats open to recall
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Category title
Ideally, all bureaucrats would be subject to recall, and we wouldn't need a category. Pending such a universal process, however, I support this category as a step in the right direction, and commend the bureaucrats who have already joined it. First things first: Category:Administrators open to recall was eventually recreated as Category:Wikipedia administrators open to recall, with the former page now a category redirect. Should this category likewise become Category:Wikipedia bureaucrats open to recall, in line with Category:Wikipedia bureaucrats? Tim Smith (talk) 05:13, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
- I saw that after a bit, but didn't want to change it as some had already joined and it didn't seem like a big deal. Was there some important reason it was changed in CAT:AOR? Avruch T 00:00, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
- The naming convention is that 'All administrative categories should have "Wikipedia" (without a colon) as part of the name'. For CAT:AOR, the idea was to make clear that it is a Wikipedia-specific category involving not administrators in general, but Wikipedia administrators in particular. The parent category was already Category:Wikipedia administrators. Similarly, this category is not for bureaucrats in general, but Wikipedia bureaucrats in particular. Category:Wikipedia bureaucrats already follows this convention. No one would have to rejoin; we could just recategorize them under the new name. Tim Smith (talk) 02:48, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
- Update: Following its initial creation at Category:Bureaucrats open to recall and a short stint at Category:Wikipedia Bureaucrats open to recall, the category is now at Category:Wikipedia bureaucrats open to recall. Tim Smith (talk) 17:03, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
