Comment on Call for Feedback on Category Change Proposal

    Hi!

    Ah, I haven't kept up with the membership of the special teams. Even though the official round of internal feedback has passed, the proposal will be sent to tag wranglers after this stage, and we're always open to be emailed about it, both by internal and external stakeholders.

    If you want, I can meet with one or various of you in chat and bring back your feedback to the workgroup, or if it's something static you have already decided, you're always welcome to email it to us (our internal wiki page has several ways to contact us).

    The Marvel and DC subcategories were suggested at the time of that feedback round to fix the issue of ambiguous subcategory names.

    1. I totally don't remember DC and Marvel being suggested as subcategories. Was this on the wrangling list or in the cat change group?

      I don't see how 'Cartoons' and 'Comics' are somehow more ambiguous and unacceptable than 'TV shows' or 'Movies.

        You likely had access to only a portion of the feedback the workgroup received, in all feedback rounds — including the internal one -- but maybe I'm mistaken. I haven't checked all the feedback compilations again.

        Cartoons and Comics wouldn't be ambiguous if we included all cartoons and comics in them (including manga), like we include all TV Shows or Movies in their categories, but then they would be less useful as a subdivision of the larger list.
