How useful is this template?[edit]

@Clusternote, Achim55, Gamliel Fishkin, Joshbaumgartner, and Funandtrvl:

How useful is this template when even after nine years the vast majority of the links is still red?

  1. Do we need it on Commons? Isn't it too theoretical, more something for Wikipedia? Commons is for organizing files.
  2. If we indeed need it on Commons, can categories be made for the red links and fill them with correct subcategories and files? Who is going to do that?
  3. If we do not need it on Commons, can this template be removed from the categories it is in now, and be deleted (or put on hold or something like that)? Do the blue categories all have proper parents?

Probably not needed as a navigational template on Commons. --Funandtrvl (talk) 15:49, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Funandtrvl: Thanks for your reaction. I took this discussion to a higher level, see Commons:Village pump#How useful is Template:Types of goods?. I hope you will join the discussion there as well. JopkeB (talk) 08:20, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
