Category:General style guidelines

Category:General style guidelines - Template:Lc1
Nominator's rationale: At present there are three types of style guidelines: (i) pages that are identified as "English Wikipedia style guideline" (e.g., Wikipedia:Avoid weasel words) and pages that are identified as "part of the English Wikipedia's Manual of Style". Of the Manual of Style (MoS) pages, there are two types: (ii) general application MoS pages such as Wikipedia:Manual of Style (capital letters) and (iii) specialized application MoS pages such as "Manual of Style (mathematics)". The present categories do not allow for distinguishing the three types of style guidelines. Category:General style guidelines is a good start, but may be confused with the article space category Category:Style guides. Template:Subcat guideline already populates Category:Wikipedia style guidelines with "English Wikipedia style guideline". My proposal:
  • Delete "Category:General style guidelines"
  • Populate "Category:Wikipedia MoS general guidelines" with general application MoS pages (e.g., capital letters)
  • Populate "Category:Wikipedia MoS specialized guidelines" with specialized application MoS pages (e.g, mathematics)

  • Neutral I created and populated the cat a couple of months ago, and haven't had any complaints about the usefulness, meaning or name of the cat until now. Still, if BBB wants to rename it to "Wikipedia MoS general guidelines" and tweak the contents, my reaction is that the more people we have actively working on style guidelines, the better. - Dan Dank55 (talk)(mistakes) 20:51, 12 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
