Alas, currently most articles in such categories are miscategorized -- they have one tag when they "should" have the other tag. | Alas, currently most articles in such categories are miscategorized -- they have one tag when they "should" have the other tag. | ||

:I think Speckmade initiated the parallel categories for languages. I've tried to help correct pages that ended up being miscategorized as a result of the change. However, I would prefer the simpler solution of putting all wikis about language itself into a [[:Category:Linguistics]] or some such. The disadvantage of not being able to easily find a specific language is true, but I think it's an easier-to-maintain solution. Also, if we find that a sub-category is needed for any particular language due to a large number of entries in the linguistics category, we can always add that later. --[[User:MarvelZuvembie|MarvelZuvembie]] 20:36, 30 March 2009 (EDT) | :I think Speckmade initiated the parallel categories for languages.
