Category talk:LGBTQ-related films

subcategories

gold star. whomever did Lesbianism-related and Bisexuality-related is clearly an annoying person of the first class. and what of gay-related? a stunning ommission. anyone care to fix this crap? sorry, but i'm busy changing Category:African American films to Category:films marked by their similarities to the experience of americans of african extraction — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.162.165.194 (talk • contribs) 22:20, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

categorytree

I put <categorytree>Category:LGBT-related films</categorytree> on the front page, because we have categories that extend onto later pages. Another editor removed it; I thought I'd open up discussion here. To my mind, it is problematic to have major subdivisions (e.g., Lesbian-related films) hidden on subsequent pages. What is the disadvantage of having categorytree? --Lquilter (talk) 19:05, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

IMO, and it's just an opinion, categorytree duplicates the subcategories already listed. I see what you mean, though - since the cat has so many members, the "L" subcat doesn't show up until page 2 or later. I would suggest we move "Lesbian-related films", "Bisexuality-related films" and "Transgender in film" to the very first area, where "LGBT-related films by country" is right now. That would help keep those three cats visible, no? -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 21:09, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

Categorytree is duplicative, but it's the only way I'm aware of to get categories to show up when the page goes >200 entries. I gathered several of the categories together in a national subgrouping which I sorted to the top, per Wikipedia catsorting standards. It seems artificial to gather together some sections and not others. Can we do the production companies together, e.g., Category:LGBT-related films by production company? And then we could also do Category:LGBT-related films by sexuality, including lesbian & trans ... but then we need a Category:Gay male related films, no? --Lquilter (talk) 16:48, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Why do you want those particular categories to show up on further pages? And if you do, why not add:

See also: Category:Lesbian-related films, Category:Bisexuality-related films and Category:Transgender in film

Category tree is just so *big* - not that I have anything against big, mind you :) But it does take up so much room on the page, and duplicates the entries. -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 18:02, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

"See also" isn't usually used for subcategories; it's usually used for related categories that don't work within a tree configuration. ... I don't want any particular subcategories to show up on the first page; I want all subcategories to show up. It's completely non-intuitive to people that categories go to the next page -- that's why categorytree was created. See Wikipedia:Magic_words and http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:CategoryTree . --Lquilter (talk) 18:44, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Well, it's totally counterintuitive to me to include categorytree on a category page, for the reasons I mentioned. But if you re-add, I'll leave it alone. -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 19:31, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Should Category:Gay porn films be a subcategory of Category:LGBT-related films?

Works

@*Treker: regarding this edit, please note that Category:Works in Wikipedia consists of much more than scholarly works only, see e.g. Category:Works by medium. Marcocapelle (talk) 10:55, 12 April 2020 (UTC)

That's bad. Then it just becomes a duplicate of Category:LGBT portrayals in mass media. It's unhelpful and shouldn't be how it's done.★Trekker (talk) 11:43, 12 April 2020 (UTC)
