Overhaul categories

Hullo. I wud like tae owerhaw oor Category seestem. We shoud be like Simple Wikipedia an anely hae categories we can fill. Thare are ower money redlinkit categories an no staundart seestem in place. I propone deletin o categories whit are ower speceefic an change 'em wit ones wit are mair ordinar. –MJL ‐Tauk‐^☖ 20:56, 7 September 2019 (UTC)[replie]

An aw, please no creatin redlinkit categories faer neu airticles. Just uise the ones we awready hae. –MJL ‐Tauk‐^☖ 21:19, 7 September 2019 (UTC)[replie]

Possibly we culd delyte categories named after things (ie. Category:Eponymous categories). ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ –MJL ‐Tauk‐^☖ 07:56, 10 September 2019 (UTC)[replie]

First phase

     YEAR
 Base Category ___
                  \
   YEAR + 1    ____\
 Base Category      \_______   DECADE
                    /       Base Category
   YEAR + 2    ____/             ↑
 Base Category                   |
                               DECADE
                            Alt Category

Key:
Base Category - Births/Deaths/Establishments/Disestablishments.
Alt Category - More specific than a Base Category (ie. Companies established in DECADE or DECADE establishments in Scotland)

I'm generally against having Alt categories by year, but I think I have begun to come around to the idea we should have the four base categories by year regardless of size. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ –MJL ‐Tauk‐^☖ 07:21, 19 Dizember 2019 (UTC)
