Moved from CFD - Her Pegship (tis herself) 16:38, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Propose renaming Category:Napoleonic Wars (1792-1815) stubs to Category:Napoleonic Wars (1792–1815) stubs
- Nominator's rationale: Rename. WP:DASH —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 05:42, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Oppose the use of difficult-to-replicate characters in category names, WP:MOS be damned. Otto4711 (talk) 07:19, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Rename per nom and WP:DASH. Making an en dash is no harder than making a letter capitalized without using the caps lock button. Good Ol’factory (talk) 09:15, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Move this discussion to WP:SFD, I will. :P Her Pegship (tis herself) 16:38, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Here are a few discussions of WP:DASH and its application to categories: Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2008_August_19#Canadian_Soccer_League_(1986–1992), Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2008_August_13#Bilateral_relations, and Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2008_August_12#Category:Georgian-Abkhazian_conflict —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 07:42, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Shouldn't this simply be at Cat:Great French War stubs, to follow the permcat? Alai (talk) 01:24, 12 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- It's a little confused. There seems to be more than one relevant permcat - there's also Cat:Napoleonic Wars, and the text in the category suggests that Cat:French Revolutionary Wars would also apply. Great French War seems to imply that it's the more all-encompassing term, though. This might also mean renaming the template, of course (or creating other upmerged templates, if you prefer), but at least it would get around the hyphen problem. Support rename/rescope to Cat:Great French War stubs, and moving the current template to {{GreatFrenchWar-stub}} (keeping the current template name as a redirect). Grutness...wha? 01:44, 12 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- The intent seems clearly to be the wider scope, from the text on the category, and indeed the dates (that are causing the initial trouble) in the present category name. Upmerged templates and/or redirects do seem like a good idea, since the broader term is somewhat less familiar. Alai (talk) 02:11, 12 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
