Proposal[edit]

Hello, Jlalbion. The number of articles in this category has significantly increased over the past few months which has made it difficult to navigate. I propose that it's time for this specific category to become a Category:Container categories and for new subcategories to be created to specifically categorise Members of the National Assembly by the terms they served. This has already been done for British MPs at Category:21st-century MPs of the United Kingdom House of Commons, by Parliament. If we were to do the same for South African MPs, specifically the MPs post-1994, all the National Assembly members who served from 1994 to 1999 should be in a category like Category:Members of the 1st National Assembly of South Africa or something similar, while the NCOP members should been categorised in a category like Category:Members of the 1st National Council of Provinces. Let me know what you think. Lefcentreright Discuss 21:37, 16 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Lefcentreright, sorry for the late response! I'm not very up to date on how categories are handled generally, but that makes sense to me. Jlalbion (talk) 06:40, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
