Category talk:Men

Is there a category for individual men
Look at what the German wikipedia is doing:


 * German Wikipedia's Category "Mann"

Is there currently a scheme in the English wikipedia to do this sort of thing? It seemed silly that they had a category for something as broad as "men" but when I read the rationale behind it, it actually seemed like a good idea. Being able to do searches based on categories is a very powerful thing. Cazort 19:47, 31 October 2007 (UTC)


 * I did look at what German wikipedia was doing, and I was amazed. I then wondered why we do not something similar on the English wikipedia. I then posted this rather cryptic question on Wikipedia talk:Categorization#LargeCategoryTOC as in German wikipedia? The answer persuades me the reason we do not is social and not technical and I am pessimistic that the English wikipedia will have such a scheme. -84user (talk) 04:35, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Let's do this. Where do I need to go to put in my voice?
 * I read the discussion (now in Archive 10) and I am starting to be convinced that I like the German scheme better, and I would advocate for it in a discussion if need be. I agree that the super-specialized categories like "Polish Aviators" are overkill.  Cazort (talk) 15:39, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Why on earth would we possibly ever want an undifferentiated category of aviators that offered no way for anybody to sort out the Polish ones? Bearcat (talk) 04:36, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
