What is the difference?  Do we need both?--[[User:Manorainjan|Manorainjan]] ([[User talk:Manorainjan|talk]])
 
: Good question, I believe there is a conversation about that somewhere.  What do you think it should be? ~~ [[MarkDilley]]
 
:: German is my mother tongue. So I will not mess with English names of mayor categories. Therefore the two question marks.
 
Definitions of what it should contain is missing in both.--[[User:Manorainjan|Manorainjan]] ([[User talk:Manorainjan|talk]]) 00:41, 30 July 2014 (UTC)
 
: They are not missing, they are invitations to be filled in. ~~ [[MarkDilley]]
 
:: as above ... --[[User:Manorainjan|Manorainjan]] ([[User talk:Manorainjan|talk]]) 21:31, 30 July 2014 (UTC)
 
::: These two categories were created LONG before I found WikiIndex.  As Mark said, we have discussed this previously many times . . . and never really reached a concrete answer.  From my own perspective, a category normally always contains more than one article on said subject, so from that logic, categories ''should'' be plural.  However, if the singular sounds 'better' and more gramatically correct, then use the singular.  How's that for some 'fence sitting'????  [[User:Hoof Hearted|Sean, aka <small>Hoof Hearted</small>]] • <sub>[[:Category:Active administrators of this wiki|Admin]] / [[WikiIndex:Bureaucrats|'Crat]]</sub> • <small>[[User talk:Hoof Hearted|talk2HH]]</small> 22:01, 30 July 2014 (UTC)
 
:::: OK, I settle on the no-s-side of the fence because of the "keep it simple" POV. It is not wrong to say computer as a label. But it would be wrong to say technologies, even if in America this kind of logical mistake is the norm. And apples would be definitely not something invented in Cupertino. I imagined some serious difference in between the two, but if it is only for the sake of style, cut the s and merge the two!
 
Do we have a written naming convention here? [[User:Manorainjan|Manorainjan]] ([[User talk:Manorainjan|talk]]) 12:26, 5 August 2014 (UTC)
:'''Not really''' There aren't a lot of conventions at all around here, actually. There probably should be. This is a small wiki and I'm glad that you're active lately to try to tidy up some of the fringes. [[User:Koavf|Koavf]] ([[User talk:Koavf|talk]]) 14:24, 5 August 2014 (UTC)
 
::Oh yes we do!!!!  [[WikiIndex:Naming conventions]] is what you need to read!  There are many other guidance pages in the WikiIndex meta namespace, generally found in [[:Category:WikiIndex]].  [[User:Hoof Hearted|Sean, aka <small>Hoof Hearted</small>]] • <sub>[[:Category:Active administrators of this wiki|Admin]] / [[WikiIndex:Bureaucrats|'Crat]]</sub> • <small>[[User talk:Hoof Hearted|talk2HH]]</small> 21:54, 5 August 2014 (UTC)

Hi.  There seems to be a lot of fresh policy discussions cropping up on your talk page, my talk page, Mark's talk page, and no doubt a few others.  Can we please ensure these are discussed in more appropriate places.  Either [[:Category talk:Active administrators of this wiki]] if it just concerns issues which only sysops can deal with, or [[:WikiIndex talk:Community portal]] for all other wiki-wide discussions.  I'll add this same message on other appropriate users [[talk page]]s.  [[User:Hoof Hearted|Sean, aka <small>Hoof Hearted</small>]] • <sub>[[:Category:Active administrators of this wiki|Admin]] / [[WikiIndex:Bureaucrats|'Crat]]</sub> • <small>[[User talk:Hoof Hearted|talk2HH]]</small> 21:11, 5 August 2014 (UTC)
