"Sex" label

@Suzukaze-c: regarding this edit, perhaps "Sexuality" would be a better label? — SGconlaw (talk) 07:12, 30 August 2020 (UTC)

@Sgconlaw: They both already exist. Category:en:Sex; Category:en:Sexuality. —Suzukaze-c (talk) 07:16, 30 August 2020 (UTC)

@Suzukaze-c: so is a separate "Sex" label required? Which entries should go into "Sex", and which ones in "Sexuality"? — SGconlaw (talk) 07:21, 30 August 2020 (UTC)

@Sgconlaw: The category description doesn't help IMO, but the entries like "acephobic" and "allosexuality" in en:Sexuality is more indicative. —Suzukaze-c (talk) 07:23, 30 August 2020 (UTC)

@Suzukaze-c: yes, I'm just wondering whether it will be confusing to have so many overlapping categories. I have a feeling you're just going to get the same entries ending up in multiple categories. — SGconlaw (talk) 07:29, 30 August 2020 (UTC)

@Sgconlaw: I think that tracking down the people who conceived these categories would be best. —Suzukaze-c (talk) 07:36, 30 August 2020 (UTC)

Change (x politics) to point to Wikipedia?

I personally would find it a lot more useful if the (x politics) labels pointed to the corresponding Wikipedia articles (e.g. (Swiss politics) -> (Swiss politics)). Thoughts? Fytcha (talk) 13:33, 26 October 2021 (UTC)

To be added

• Aliases that should categorize to Category:World War I (to be created): "WWI", "WW I", "WW1", "WW 1", "World War 1".
• WWII: should categorize to Category:World War II (already exists): "WWII", "WW II", "WW2", "WW 2", "World War 2".

Some of these are already in use. For example, "WWI" and "WWII" have ~11 uses each. 98.170.164.88 00:59, 11 June 2022 (UTC)

• "Wikipedia" should be an alias of "Wikimedia jargon". 98.170.164.88 10:19, 20 July 2022 (UTC)

Trigonometric functions

@Hythonia: Sorry, the revert was a mistake. Still, I don't think we actually want to have this as a label though. Obviously not every category should have a label (just imagine {{lb|en|pizza}} for Category:en:Pizza) and I feel like this one belongs to the "shouldn't have one" group, just like e.g. Category:en:Functions, reason being that you can't restrict usage to "trigonometric functions": the word "sine" is restricted to mathematical contexts, not to "trigonometric functions" contexts, whatever that would be. — Fytcha〈 T | L | C 〉 00:05, 15 August 2022 (UTC)

@Fytcha: You might be right. I was inspired by {{lb|-|pharmaceutical effect}}, which is displayed as (pharmacology) but puts the entry in the correct category. I'm more than happy to revert this if people think it's unnecessary. Hythonia (talk) 09:28, 15 August 2022 (UTC)

"evolutionary biology"

Could be added as an alias of "evolutionary theory". This is used in some entries. 70.172.194.25 09:05, 27 December 2022 (UTC)

Done. Catonif (talk) 17:11, 27 December 2022 (UTC)

@Catonif: Grazie! Could you also add the aliases proposed two sections above? 70.172.194.25 18:13, 27 December 2022 (UTC)

Done. Prego :) Catonif (talk) 10:47, 28 December 2022 (UTC)
