Name of this category is problematic

Latest comment: 11 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

The reason is that "Protected Area", all caps, is a formal designation, sort of a lower-status provincial park.......so it implies that those entries currently in the BC Parks cat, which is a "grandchild" of this one, whose names are "XX Protected Area" should be here, NB there are many that are "XX Provincial Park and Protected Area"...the standalone articles in this category are all provincial Protected Areas even when not titled as such.....I know the generic intent of this category, but the name is confusing.Skookum1 (talk) 08:10, 31 March 2013 (UTC)Reply
