:I'm not clear about WHAT would be "shorter and easier to look through". Your idea would apparently reduce by only three characters ("in" and a space) the name of each category, and would not reduce the number of lines to look through where they are listed in separate lines. Please clarify. [[User:Robin Patterson|Robin Patterson]] 08:28, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

:::I know it's like Wikipedia, which would usually be a fairly compelling reason. But in this case, I have two problems with the idea of changing: (1) we already have a great many categories in the current form; (2) I think the WP form is ambiguous (especially for a site where at least one highly perceptive new user doesn't even recognise that a category name consisting of a four-digit number refers to a year) and can look quite silly when the year number gets small - does "Category:3 deaths" refer to the Crucifixion?? You've not clarified your problem with the form. I say again, WHAT would be "shorter and easier to look through"? [[User:Robin Patterson|Robin Patterson]] 04:14, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
