Why does the link to Man, Economy, and State go to the edit page

I added cat:economists so his name would appear on that list; to exclude Austrian School economists from the larger listing would be to diminish that school. 01:30, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)

:That s the way all categories are handled. An article should not appear in both a category and in a subcategory of that category. - 03:10, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC) :Here s the policy: ::An article should not be in both a category and its subcategory, e.g. Microsoft Office is in Category:Microsoft software, so should not also be in Category:Software — except when the article defines a category as well as being in a higher category, e.g. Ohio is in both Category:U.S. states and Category:Ohio. :The problem is that that other economists on the big list should be mostly categorized into one or more subcategories. - 03:13, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)

That seems like it would cause a whole array of problems regarding categories. 21:24, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)

:Maybe so. It s the policy across Wikipedia. - 21:49, Feb 17, 2005 (UTC)

Keynes is in cat: economists as well as cat: British economists. Ditto with Ricardo. And Adam Smith, except Scottish. Friedman and Krugman are Jewish-American Economists in addition to the larger cat. What gives 07:05, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)

:They shouldn t be. (Jewish-American economists Who comes up with these) An article is allowed to be in two or more branches - so Rothbard can be an American economist and an Austrian School economist at the same time. Or we can create a special category for Austrian School American economists. ( Only kidding ). Regarding the category topology, I recall reading that they have plans for greatly increasing the ability to search and navigate according to categories, and that some of their style guidelines are based on those plans. The problem now is that with articles only in the most specific category, a reader has to know a great deal in order to find an article. Who would think to look for Adam Smith in the Scottish category first Perhaps what is needed is a show all subcategories query. There are pages to discuss (and set) policy matters: if it interests you then you can participate in changing the rule or creating the new system. Meantime, feel free to remove any higher categories on articles. If all the economists are on their proper branches then the category should be empty except for subcategories, in theory. OTOH, you can break the rules if you want. ( 08:49, Feb 18, 2005 (UTC)

Making this more ridiculous is that Adam Smith is in fact British, Scotland being a part of the island of Great Britain. Which Einstein designed these categories 13:39, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)
