Category schemes
Created as anonymous-user spam page on 25 Dec 2004, then tagged by RoboAction for deletion. &mdash; Jeff Q (talk) 22:06, 26 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * VOTE CLOSED. Result: Keep (1 Keep, 1 implicit Keep, 1 Redirect/Delete; article was also made useful in the interim). &mdash; Jeff Q (talk) 23:27, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect or rename? Category use is still fairly new. Is there not a useful meta-topic in this somewhat vague term? I haven't noticed an overview or central article on Category use (like w:Wikipedia:Category) here at Wikiquote. I offer to copy and edit some stuff from Wikipedia unless there is something here that I've just missed. &mdash; Jeff Q (talk) 22:06, 26 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. I've changed my vote after Rmhermen turned this into a useful article. There's now a substantial discussion about categorization on its Talk page, as well, which I hope other Wikiquotians will participate in. &mdash; Jeff Q (talk) 23:31, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)


 * I prefer to turn it into a redirect or delete it simply. A document "Category" (or Categories) would be very helpful! But I think we don't need not every categories on Wikipedia - like "1700 death". *g --Aphaia 09:56, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)


 * I didn't mean we need to use Wikipedia categories themselves. I'd just like to see a "Wikiquote:" namespace page that explains categories and provides some guidance on how to name them and use them, tailored to Wikiquote needs. I'm sure Categories have been discussed elsewhere in Wikiquote, but there should be a central, logical place to find such discussions. &mdash; Jeff Q (talk) 20:47, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * I have some questions about category. Where do we discuss this? Rmhermen 23:12, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Perhaps on Village pump for now. I'm writing up a summary of the Wikiquote category situation as I see it, which I hope to post there in the next few hours. But don't let me hold you up. &mdash; Jeff Q (talk) 01:19, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * I started a new discussion on the village pump about filling in some gaps in Wikiquote's current use of Wikimedia Categories. Its outcome affects this article, so folks might want to check it out. &mdash; Jeff Q (talk) 04:26, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * I have tried to turn this into something we can use, anticipating the conclusion of the discussion on the Village Pump. Rmhermen 14:05, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep: I change my opinion. After editing by Rmhermen it turns to a quite useful document. --Aphaia 09:24, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)
