What should be done
editbaseball hall of fame balloting: at least 1971, 1977, 1995, 2001, 2006
2013-12-04
I agree in condemning the index or list article Baseball Hall of Fame balloting. I wonder whether it was created by editors who are not familiar with category Baseball Hall of Fame balloting, or WP:CATEGORIES more generally. And I wonder whether WP:WikiProject Disambiguation endorses this approach.
Compare and contrast:
- 1920 Pulitzer Prize, Category:Pulitzer Prizes, navbox {{Pulitzer Prize}}, Pulitzer Prize#Changes to categories--essentially a navbox with two-dimensional structure
- 1920 Summer Olympics, Category:Summer Olympic Games, navbox {{Olympic Games}}, Summer Olympic Games#List of modern Summer Olympic Games--an embedded list with much information about each quadrennial games; Roman numerals in column one link to the pages in the category
