Move to Category:English terms with dated senses. I doubt words like and are dated. -- Liliana • 19:08, 17 October 2012 (UTC)
- Right. The result of sense level tags being presumed to apply to an entire language section. Needs to be adjusted in this way case by case. DCDuring TALK 22:04, 17 October 2012 (UTC)
- To clarify: Each context-based categorization needs to be evaluated individually. The same really should apply to topical categorization.
- A good new category might be "[Language] terms without current usage". Terms with only definitions with "obsolete" tags would be the first to be placed in it, possibly by bot. Entries using
{{defdate}}might be lacking appropriate "obsolete" tags and some terms, especially alternative forms with digraphs and diaereses might need review for such categorization. I wonder how many English entries would fall in that category. I would expect that some users of our dumps might like to be able to remove some of those entries from their application databases.

Agree. Move per nom. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 16:29, 3 November 2012 (UTC)
Disagree. As per discussion in Beer Parlor, it seems better to keep categories like Category:English dated terms as such, for terms which are entirely dated (rather than for terms with a few dated senses, which should get their own category, or none at all). --Pereru (talk) 20:52, 17 December 2012 (UTC)
