Lists

Is this category needed I thought the category feature was intended to replace the List of lists. If you want a complete list of lists, it s at 18:53, 2 Jun 2004 (UTC)

=Rail transport related lists=

I feel this would be a viable subcategory. I would create it myself but I wont have time until the middle of next week to hunt down all the lists and recategorise them. sub-sub categories might be *lists of rail aciddents *lists of railway stations *lists of rail locomotives (possibly split into diesel, electric and steam) or is this getting too specific 01:47, 2 Mar 2005 (UTC)

= Proposals for subcategories =

Currently the Lists category is very long while there are few subcategories and listings under those subcategories. According to what the template says, we should work on subcategories. So I have a few proposals listed below for better organizing this. I would like some feedback. 01:06, 13 July 2005 (UTC)

== List the subcategories by hand ==

I think we could add the list of subcategories to the main category page by hand. The list is:

As you can see the list is fairly short so there is no need for it to span multiple pages like it currently does. Without this, the user might not notice that there are more subcategories than the first page. 01:06, 13 July 2005 (UTC)

Good idea, with a couple of exceptions, which you should see momentarily after I make a couple of changes. 02:59, 13 July 2005 (UTC)

== Add more subcategories ==

Sometimes the items listed in the Lists category aren t moved to a subcategory because there isn t a subcategory for it or a subcategory is too specific for it. I think the following new subcategories could be useful:

Subcategories that currently do not exist: *Astronomy lists *Geoscience lists *Computing lists *Literature lists *Sexuality lists *History lists 01:06, 13 July 2005 (UTC)

I d planned to have just a few main list subcategories, then many others could fit under them. 02:59, 13 July 2005 (UTC)

== Merging or renaming existing subcategories ==

Currently there is a Science lists and Nature lists category, both very sparsely populated. I think these two should be merged. There is also a which would allow more lists to be addded. 01:06, 13 July 2005 (UTC)
