Category:Text logos Y

Since when do we split categories alfabetically? Jcb (talk) 12:05, 19 July 2013 (UTC)

Do you have another idea to find one text-logo in a category with about 4000 files? To split the text-logo-category alphabetically was one idea, another is by type of letters (Arabian, Cyrillic, ...) --PigeonIP (talk) 15:38, 19 July 2013 (UTC)

To find a logo, these cats won't work anyway. The search function may help out. To search alphabetically within a category, we have the CategoryTOC. Jcb (talk) 16:25, 19 July 2013 (UTC)

the idea was created in order to get all text logos out of he category:logos, which is overcrowded with more than 10,000 files in it. instead of simply overcrowding category:text logos instead, we started to create sub-cats according to the first letter of the logo. to me this seems useful, however, there may be better ideas.--Poupou l'quourouce (talk) 20:33, 19 July 2013 (UTC)

I can immagine you didn't know {{CategoryTOC}}, but now it's present, what is the advantage of alphabetical subcategories? Jcb (talk) 20:58, 19 July 2013 (UTC)

TOC refers to the filename, not to the logo or what the logo refers to. like File:2004 BACK YARD Recordings Logo.jpg for example.

What is the advantage of overcrowded categories? --PigeonIP (talk) 21:28, 19 July 2013 (UTC)

When do you call a category overcrowded? They are designed to have a lot of content, e.g. 100.000 is not a problem. Jcb (talk) 22:00, 19 July 2013 (UTC)

actually it says on the category page (category:logos) that it was crowded and that files should be moved to sub-categorie. so maybe you should rather delete that template if it causes unwanted action?--Poupou l'quourouce (talk) 22:03, 19 July 2013 (UTC)

 Done - Jcb (talk) 22:18, 19 July 2013 (UTC)

A tag like that usually means that the files should be moved down into more specific categories, but that doesn't mean strange types of categories need to be made. Logos are already categorized by country, subject (Logos associated with...), and other attributes. --Closeapple (talk) 05:00, 20 July 2013 (UTC)

Also, TOC actually uses the sort key, which is the filename if no other is given. (Once you start using alphabetic sort keys for files, you get into all kinds of questions about what the sort key should be. One person might decide to give it the name of the company/organization, the other the brand name of the logo itself, etc. The only type of sort key that's widely-accepted on Commons these days is year-month-date on media of famous people/things with a lot of media of that same person/thing, so that they sort chronologically.) --Closeapple (talk) 05:00, 20 July 2013 (UTC)

it was just an attempt to be helpful. some german wikipedians recently discussed that there are so many completely uncategorized files on commons and have started to categorize these files. while we were doing this, someone came across the very large and unorganized category:logos. actually there are many files in that category that have no other category than the very general "logos". while i agree that the alphabetical approach may be against your customs on commons, i still think it could make sense to create more subcats of the logos-category and move files to more appropriate (i.e. decriptive) categories. one final thought: there are also sucats for logos according to shape - is that really a more relevant attribute than the first letter of the logo? anyway, i will rather continue now to categorize uncategorized files than cleaning up exisiting categories.--Poupou l'quourouce (talk) 07:55, 20 July 2013 (UTC)

I've grouped these categories at Category:Text logos by letter but if it's decided to delete these categories, that base category should also go, along with Category:Text logos 0-9. - Themightyquill (talk) 12:52, 7 May 2017 (UTC)

 Keep but rename Category:Letter Y in logos (same for the rest of the letters of course) to be more consistent with other letter categories. This is not an alphabetical categorization per se, it pertains specifically to depictions of the letter Y, as seen in logos. Josh (talk) 21:44, 11 October 2017 (UTC)

@Jcb: Thoughts on Joshbaumgartner's proposal? - Themightyquill (talk) 22:42, 14 April 2018 (UTC)

Seems fine to me. The reason of nomination was that somebody started to categorize all these textlogos in subcategories for the first letter of their file name, which is ridiculous of course. Jcb (talk) 22:51, 14 April 2018 (UTC)

 Keep I think, Both categories are necessary.
I agree. - rename Category:Letter * in logos --Benzoyl (talk) 23:30, 22 April 2018 (UTC)
