Category:No entrance signs[edit]
Should this category be renamed to "No entry signs"? Because I think "No entrance" means there are no doors or gates. そらみみ (talk) 03:38, 4 February 2019 (UTC)
- @そらみみ: You are right. Even though some dictionaries claim that "entrance" is also the process, not only the place - included photos contain only the phrase "no entry". I think, we can rename the root category as you proposed and harmonize its subcategories immediately.
- However, my original effort was to distinguish "walk/pedestrian entry" from "ride/vehicle entry". This trial was unsuccessful. Many languages have quite different words for the two meanings: (de: die Eintritt & die Einfart, cs: vstup & vjezd, ru: вход & въезд) and even have no common word for both meanings together, while English (French, Italian, Spain etc.) seems to be not able to distinguish them clearly. Now we have various similar categories which are a bit overlapping each others: No entrance signs (=No entry signs), Do not enter signs (without subcategories by country), No entry road signs by country (without its main category), Vehicles forbidden signs, Pedestrians forbidden signs, No trespassing signs and maybe No Boarding signs. Some languages have no specific word for "tresspassing" and when the sign says "no entry", it is not specifiable whether the "entry" is a "tresspassing" in such case, etc. That's why we have a big mishmash in the category tree. The concepts and phrases are too language-specific or even country-specific. --ŠJů (talk) 06:17, 4 February 2019 (UTC)
- The move is requested at User talk:CommonsDelinker/commands/Category moves#No entrance – please modify or oppose if needed. --ŠJů (talk) 06:29, 4 February 2019 (UTC)
- @ŠJů: I see. Maybe it's better to ask more people, because in some languages, it's hard to categorize a sign without other information.--そらみみ (talk) 08:09, 4 February 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks for the requests.--そらみみ (talk) 21:50, 4 February 2019 (UTC)
- @ŠJů: In the future, please wait for the CfD to close with consensus before enacting a move request. This gives everyone an opportunity to comment here and reach consensus. Thanks! Josh (talk) 22:13, 12 April 2019 (UTC)
