Category talk:Rodeos

Dawnleelynn: I'm wondering if the rodeos here should move over to the various "Rodeo by county" categories -- United States, Canada, etc... the question being if the category should be diffused or non-diffused... (I'm leaning to the former...) Montanabw^(talk) 21:11, 24 April 2017 (UTC)

Montanabw I roamed through those pages. There are halls of fame, museums, people pages sprinkled through those categories. Just like Rodeo used to be until we cleared it out (well, it still has a few stragglers.) The US rodeo page even has the ProRodeo Hall of Fame inductees sub-category. I keep seeing it everywhere I go. Also, there is a list of rodeos article in this category, is that supposed to be kept up with any particular category? If we clean up the country categories so they just contain rodeos then I could see moving these pages here to there. Let me know if this makes sense and if this is what you want to do? dawnleelynn^(talk) 22:19, 24 April 2017 (UTC)

What it is, is a great big PITA (pain in the ---). I suspect it will just be one of those things where one moves a half-dozen each WP "day" and eventually it gets done. I wish that WP had the "cat-a-lot" feature that Commons does, where you can move categories without going into the individual articles (or maybe there IS such a widget and I haven't found it yet...) My thinking is that List of rodeos could move to the main Rodeo category and the rest could, most likely, be diffused. Stuff like Indian rodeo and such could move to either the main cat or(perhaps better) to the rodeo series category... which we could use to include many of the various "circuits" and specialty things.

Montanabw (talk · contribs) There is a way to rename categories that I believe changes the articles too. I had tried to tell this to karanacs but she ignored me. See WP:CFDS. It might not be helpful for this situation, I am not sure. But I'd like to know if you are generally aware of this process where you submit your category and it is discussed and then processed by others. If it is agreed upon, the category is renamed (or merged). I can't imagine such a process that goes into a discussion if it was only doing a move. If it is not useful here, it worth knowing about if it does what I think, for the future. dawnleelynn^(talk) 16:21, 1 May 2017 (UTC)

I"m actually doing a CfD on something unrelated. The reason I hesitate to do these in the middle of a category reorganization is because people with no understanding of the situation can weigh in and this can create ... confusion. I don't call those places the "drahmahz boardz" for nothing... ;-) Montanabw^(talk) 22:32, 1 May 2017 (UTC)

Montanabw (talk · contribs) Ok, I understand. It would probably only be something to undertake in a sole category with a huge number of articles that was not involved in any other category changes at the time then, I guess. Ok thanks! I always get the good advice from you. dawnleelynn^(talk) 22:43, 1 May 2017 (UTC)
