Category talk:Telephone numbers

More subcats?
Why so many categories? Category:Telephone numbers and Category:Telephone numbering plans were already not particularly large and included similar articles, and now Category:Telephone numbering covers similar articles though not the same ones. Is this multiplicity of categories expected to help readers find related articles? Jim.henderson 16:09, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

I will remove all the articles that I put in Category:Telephone numbering and in Category:Telephone numbering by country. I will create Category:Telephone numbers by country a clear subcategory of Category:Telephone numbers. NoGringo 17:24, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

New structure
emptied categories I created: emptied an existing category created new
 * Category:Telephone numbering by country
 * Category:Telephone numbering
 * Category:Telephone numbering plans
 * Category:Telephone numbers by country
 * and some categories for specific countries
 * Category:North American Numbering Plan

I moved country, or plan specific articles to the more specific categories. I hope I was not to bold. Please tell if you have concerns with the new arrangement.

 * Whew. Excellent work.  For months I've been thinking of neatening this mess, starting with abolishing the distinction between ph number cats and plan cats, and a couple days ago I saw, oh, no, it's getting even worse!  So, I squawked, and you took notice and got to work and pushed things around and made the whole thing easier to understand than ever.  Excellent work.  There's some kind of customary procedure, a "barnstar" tag for giving someone a small symbolic reward on their personal page.  I don't know how to do it yet, but consider yourself Barnstarred for a good deed.  Jim.henderson 02:11, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
 * We've now got to delete those empty categories as I was tempted to stick things back into them! I have attached speedy delete tags to the three emptied categories now. Graeme Bartlett 05:15, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
