E4024 (talk) 15:47, 4 January 2018 (UTC) It's consistent with Category:SVG flags - historical by country, Category:SVG flags - political by country and some others as well as their sub-categories. If one is renamed, these should all be renamed as well. It could be named something like Category:Naval SVG flags and Category:Naval SVG flags of Turkey, but I don't really mind the current naming. --rimshottalk 00:38, 6 January 2018 (UTC) The current scheme looks more like a library catalogue (like "Germany - People - Historical"), which makes sense, but it's not how commons categories are normally written out (in proper English). I support renaming the tree unless there's some reason for an exception. - Themightyquill (talk) 08:34, 8 January 2018 (UTC) I'm of the opinion that these should be renamed: Category:SVG naval flags of Turkey, Category:SVG historical flags by country, etc., which is more natural English and consistent with plenty of already-existing categories (e.g. Category:SVG flags of Australia, Category:SVG historical flags of Brazil). Alkari (?), 27 January 2018, 23:42 UTC There's been no further discussion on this for quite a while, and it would be nice to hear from more people before (possibly) making some very wide-reaching changes. Is there somewhere it would be appropriate to advertise this discussion to others who might wish to express an opinion? Alkari (?), 15 April 2018, 07:52 UTC For clarity, we are (as I understand it) talking about all the "SVG flags - ..." categories, of which there are well over 500. Should I be adding the CFD header to all of them? Alkari (?), 15 April 2018, 09:01 UTC @Alkari: I tagged a number of related categories back in January, including Category:SVG flags - military, Category:SVG flags - political, and Category:SVG flags - religious (others are visible in Category:CfD 2018-01 for now). If no one else is going to comment, it's not because no effort was made to include them. I think we have consensus to change, but it's no small effort. @Ruthven: What's the best way to go about this? Thanks - Themightyquill (talk) 21:55, 19 June 2018 (UTC) I can put together a batch request for CommonDelinker, but I noticed two different proposals here to clarify between: Category:Naval SVG flags or Category:SVG naval flags? @Themightyquill, Alkari, and Rimshot: I think Category:SVG naval flags is better. It sounds more natural and I think it conforms better to standard English adjective order. – BMacZero (🗩) 23:41, 27 March 2020 (UTC) @BMacZero, Themightyquill, Alkari, and Rimshot: we have deal that categories, which consist of word "SVG" is always written "SVG X", not "X SVG"--Estopedist1 (talk) 07:48, 28 March 2020 (UTC) I agree with BMacZero: "SVG" should come first, followed by whatever the name of the corresponding non-SVG category is (so Category:SVG naval flags, Category:SVG pennants of Hungary, etc.). Thank you for taking this up and being willing to make it happen! Alkari (?), 28 March 2020, 08:06 UTC Requested at User talk:CommonsDelinker/commands/Category moves. – BMacZero (🗩) 16:56, 28 March 2020 (UTC)  Done: Category's can be renamed as per consensus above. --Steinsplitter (talk) 12:30, 29 March 2020 (UTC)
