Category:Dutch East Indies

What is the difference between "Dutch East Indies" and "Netherlands Indies"? In this main category are a lot of subcategories with "Netherlands Indies" or "Netherlands East Indies" in the category name instead of "Dutch East Indies". Can we have one name for all categories involved? And what would then be the best name? JopkeB (talk) 03:17, 7 April 2022 (UTC)

Parent Category:Dutch East Indies is correctly named. Sub-cats with "Netherlands Indies" or "Netherlands East Indies" should be renamed to "Dutch East Indies". (ref: Universality principle) Josh (talk) 08:43, 9 April 2022 (UTC)

Thanks Josh, for your contributions to this discussion. How will it go on? There are 194 categories with "Netherlands Indies" in the name. I am used to the procedure that the person who closes a discussion also makes the changes. But in this case, because there are so many changes to do, I'll be glad to help. Agree? --JopkeB (talk) 04:44, 22 April 2022 (UTC)

@JopkeB: Of course! I will do them as I can, but this is a big one. Ideally of course when I close a CfD I try and do the change immediately, but some take days or longer to do, like this one. The CfD sets the consensus out, then anyone is free to help in conforming the categories to the consensus. Josh ( talk) 05:16, 22 April 2022 (UTC)

Seems a good plan to me. --JopkeB (talk) 06:32, 22 April 2022 (UTC)
