Category:Montages[edit]
Why is this separate from Category:Collages? The concepts seem the same. On English Wikipedia there is en:Collage but montage is just a disambig which mentions the term en:Photomontage. Arguably Photomontage is a subcategory of one of those, but I don't see the need to split montages and collages. A quick glance also suggests that next to nobody sees the difference and nearly identical images are uploaded to one or the other at random.

- Collages are specifically images which have been glued (from the French for glue) to a surface. Montage is a wider term which includes digitally-manipulated images. I see the need for a distinction, even if some are wrongly categorised. Rodhullandemu (talk) 09:08, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
- That makes sense, assuming you are correct. For that we would need to see some sources, which in turn would be good to use to improve Wikipedia articles. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 09:48, 4 June 2021 (UTC)
- @Piotrus and Rodhullandemu: Would you consider both Category:Collages and Category:Photomontages to be subs of Category:Montages, as the latter is the more general term, and the other two are more specific methods of creating a montage? Josh (talk) 18:01, 24 June 2021 (UTC)
- @Joshbaumgartner: I'd be happy with that. Rodhullandemu (talk) 18:12, 24 June 2021 (UTC)
- @Joshbaumgartner: Tentatively, but I am still concerned whether all those things are indeed separate. Particularly Montages and Collages. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 05:38, 26 June 2021 (UTC)
