[[:Category:Wikisaurus]] and subcategories
  1. Recategorize all pages in this category to new language subcategories (like Category:Wikisaurus:en).
  2. Rename all subcategories to title with en (like Category:Wikisaurus:Animals=>Category:Wikisaurus:en:Animals, keep the former as a parent category).

Replace "Wikisaurus" by "Thesaurus", this is the new namespace. --Barytonesis (talk) 14:06, 23 October 2017 (UTC)Reply
Support both language subcategories and replacement of "Wikisaurus" with "Thesaurus", for consistency with other category trees and the renamed namespace. - AdamBMorgan (talk) 19:04, 23 October 2017 (UTC)Reply
Oppose the use of language codes. —Rua (mew) 19:14, 23 October 2017 (UTC)Reply
I think having Thesaurus entries for languages other than English is outside the scope of the English Wiktionary, at least for the languages that have their own Wiktionary. That said, if we do have Thesaurus entries for foreign languages, I think they should indeed be categorised by language code. Finally, English Thesaurus entries shouldn't have any language code. --Barytonesis (talk) 10:27, 24 October 2017 (UTC)Reply
Oppose the use of language codes in any category. To be clear, I not only oppose creating Category:Wikisaurus:en:Animals, I also oppose the fact that Category:en:Animals even exists in the first place. --Daniel Carrero (talk) 17:26, 11 November 2017 (UTC)Reply
And to clarify my stance: it's only the use of codes that I oppose, not the division into categories per language. If the category names had the names of languages instead of codes in them, it would be fine. —Rua (mew) 17:40, 11 November 2017 (UTC)Reply
