I think this should be merged with Category:Etymologies by language, which would mean deleting the subcategories like Category:fr:Etymology and moving the subcategories without language prefixes to Category:Etymologies by language. It doesn't seem topical; the only main namespace entry I can find directly in the topical categories is in Category:ro:Etymology, which is etimologie! It seems very much counter-productive to have two categories doing the same job, with respect to finding subcategories but also for interwiki linking, which is what I was updating when I found this category.

- In fact that category only exists because of subcategories like Category:Biblical derivations, which aren't languages but nevertheless deserve treatment. -- Liliana • 19:06, 18 December 2011 (UTC)
- If this category is to stay unmerged it should at least be renamed - perhaps to Category:Etymologies. --BiblbroX дискашн 21:51, 18 December 2011 (UTC)
- @Liliana-60 I'm aware of that, but my points still stand, counter-productive to have this separate into two categories, one topical, one not. Mglovesfun (talk) 11:13, 20 December 2011 (UTC)
