Thanks for your suggestion re: category naming, but honestly, I guess I didn't know where to look to find evidence of these styles, because category-wise, the U.S. State categories (and I have categorized ''way'' more than just a bunch of NYC articles) were a blank slate&mdashthere was nothing there, no guiding structure. I'm indifferent as to naming convention preference (though I do appreciate consistency), but I think the organization I have been setting up within the state and city categories is a very good one. Is there a way to do top-down reorganizing of a category, to change the name and consequently change the category name tag within each article that linked to it? Maybe a bot is the only way...know anyone who can do that one here? Otherwise, I think it's wasted time to go through changing everything that's been done so far article by article if the category names are totally functional, and creating duplicative categories with the "proper" headers is obviously even worse.
I also was wondering if the admins were eventually planning on making the category listings collapsible/expandible—having the capacity to see every article at once within the sub-categories of a given category would obviate disagreements about how specific categorizations should be (i.e., state by state v. undifferentiated national listings of airports). Do you have any info on this? The only FAQ I found on categories wasn't too helpful. [[User:Postdlf|Postdlf]] 2:06 9 June 2004 (UTC)
