We now have "fauna of" categories for many,if not most countries, but there are still discrepancies left over from previous attempts at similar categorization, which now needs flattening into a "Animal type of country" format:

For these 4 oddballs, a choice needs to be made. At worst, a subcat can always be added specifically for introduced fauna.

And while at it, some other "fooian extinct animals":

Much too broad to be useful, and its presence in Template:ChemicalSources means it's the first category in almost every article about a chemical. —Keenan Pepper 19:10, 16 July 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I object. Until now there is no category covering only (pure, identified) chemical substances, all categories also contain pages that are not strictly chemicals, are mixtures, etc., which makes finding only chemical substances impossible. I concur that it is now the first category on every page, and that would need to be solved (can you hide a category?). I am willing to discuss other options. --Dirk Beetstra T C 19:34, 16 July 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]

This is a group of Wikipedian categories that have no rhyme or reason to their naming and so this is a step to get things consistent. The "fans" don't even know how they want their categories named, so those who just like a television show have been more consistent. Also, this will keep from having two separate categories, those who just like a show and those who are fans. The parent category is also up for renaming to be consistant with the children. At the end are two categories to be merged.

I propose renaming Category:Sea and river deities to Category:Water deities (it could be Category:Aquatic deities, which is used in the Greek deities info-box -- see Harpina -- but IMHO more people are likely to think of "water" than "aquatic"). Doesn't seem appropriate to limit H2O gods and goddesses to just seas and rivers. What about lakes, ponds, springs, streams, rain, etc? For example, Wuluwaid (rain god), Underwater panthers (which include lakes and streams), Oceanids (springs, clouds, rain), Jengu (which include streams and estuaries), Wentshukumishiteu (waterfalls as well as rivers]], Varuna (god of rain as well as of sea), and many more. I also notice that the Category:Sea and river deities page has a "see also Category:Rain deities, which doesn't exist, so this would solve that problem as well...)

Would also require renaming the subcats Category:Sea and river gods and Category:Sea and river goddesses. Bookgrrl 03:00, 16 July 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Streets and squares are permanently located man-made entities. As per Wikipedia:Naming conventions (categories)#Man-made objects, by country categories of such things are named "in country". I believe this should be applied to the following by city categories as well. There's no reason to change the naming convention in this case when going from countries to cities, as "in place" remains the most natural, precise, and appropriate wording choice possible. All other permanently located man-made entity by city categories have followed the "in country" wording of the by country model, including for example Category:Churches by city (Ex: Category:Churches in Toronto) and Category:Skyscrapers by city (Ex: Category:Skyscrapers in Phoenix).
