Yes, that's what YOU would have thought, and what

thought. But someone who wants to put Category:Beatles in
Category:British rockbands is going to think differently. And act in
that way. And we can say "you should not put categories about rock
bands in here", but that's just the same argument that we previously
had about [[Category:The Beatles]]. There's nothing won by putting
such a text on the category page, because someone who is of the
opinion that [[Category:The Beatles]] should be in, is just going to
put a text there so that it can go in, and someone who is of the
opinion that it should not be in, is going to put a text there so that
it cannot go in. Only difference is the place where you get the edit
war.
I'm getting the impression you don't like wikis much...;)
Well, I want solutions that work now, not solutions
that would work if
the code were changed as well as the policies.
Patience, grasshopper...since this is the technical mailing list, why
not discuss the code changes that would make all of this pain go away?
What would the right solution be?
