Line 167: '''Comment''': FYI a first draft of the requested essay is at [[User:Ikluft/essay/Categorization of craters]] - discussion for that will be at [[Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Geology#Crater_categorization_essay]] or the essay's talk page. [[User:Ikluft\|Ikluft]] ([[User talk:Ikluft\|talk]]) 11:33, 5 November 2019 (UTC) '''Merge''' to [[:Category:Craters]] as [[WP:OCMISC]], but [[WP:TROUT]] the nominator for merging [[:Category:Craters]] to [[:Category:Depressions (geology)]] out-of-process. I have reverted the latter changes. A parent category for craters is used in many other Wikipedias, see https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q8954664 , and should not be discontinued here without discussion. Craters of different origins still have enough in common with each other to be separated from e.g. rifts, basins and valleys. – [[User:Fayenatic london\|Fayenatic]] [[User talk:Fayenatic london\|'''<span style="color: #FF0000;">L</span>'''ondon]] 10:18, 6 November 2019 (UTC) *: You can have your [[WP:TROUT]] back because [[:Category:Craters]] is a re-created category that was previously deleted in process per [[Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2009_August_22#Category:Craters\|2009 mass-renaming CfR of crater-related categories]] - if it isn't deleted, it needs to be a disambiguation, which requires it be empty to use {{tl\|Category disambiguation}}, which rules out a merge up to it. The other Wikimedia sites that use miscellaneous craters categories will be worked on one at a time - we're working on reducing that confusion here now. The confusion caused by "crater" categories that don't include the type of crater in their title is real and recurring - see my new draft [[~~Wikipedia_talk~~User:~~WikiProject_Geology#Crater_categorization_essay~~Ikluft/essay/Categorization_of_craters]] (to be moved to WikiProject Geology as suggested by other editors) which came as a result of this latest round of cleanup.
