Category talk:Cattle

I think "cattle" would be a better name for this category. Kappa 13:46, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

Hmm, u coulda told me that before I tagged all of these with Category:Cow! ;) --Expurgator t(c) 13:50, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

Heh sorry 'bout that. If you agree with the move I'll retag them. Kappa 14:12, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

You will? Aah, thanks Kappa, I'll give you a barnstar picture of a cow for your cleanup job. --Expurgator t(c) 15:39, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

I can move these via 'bot if you prefer. --Connel MacKenzie T C 16:08, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

Done. Shall I delete Category:Cows/Category talk:Cows? The weird redirect syntax doesn't work quite right. --Connel MacKenzie T C 16:20, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks CMK. I can't really think of a use for Category:Cows. Kappa 09:22, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

Redirected. I think such categories deserve redirects, in case someone might get the idea of recreating it and thereby causing a mess. — Vildricianus 10:19, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

CAT:Cattle

CAT:Animals > ... > CAT:Bovines > CAT:Cattle, and there you have strange things happening: abattoir, beefsteak, bullfighting, cowboy, sirloin. --Barytonesis (talk) 23:02, 7 November 2017 (UTC)

@Per utramque cavernam, I don't really see what you want us to do about this. It's a somewhat unavoidable side effect of how our categorisation system works, in that terms related to cattle are not going to be animals themselves. —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 22:28, 28 December 2017 (UTC)

This means that Category:Cattle should be terms for cattle, not related to cattle. —Rua (mew) 22:57, 28 December 2017 (UTC)

@Metaknowledge: Our categories could be one of the most interesting and innovative parts of this project, but not if we're going to be lazy like this and see such dilution as "unavoidable"... --Per utramque cavernam (talk) 00:55, 31 December 2017 (UTC)

@Metaknowledge: Sorry for this unpleasant answer, I cringe rereading it now. PUC – 14:42, 10 July 2020 (UTC)

@Barytonesis PUC (talk • contribs) removed (from en:Cattle) all of the terms you explicitly mentioned, and many others, in 2018 (relevant contrib). It seems to me the issue has been resolved. - excarnateSojourner (talk | contrib) 23:23, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
