Gibraltar Spain border crossings
Is there any point in a category for this as there is only one of them. --Gibnews (talk) 18:30, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
Probably not? Be bold and get rid of it. --Cyde Weys 19:13, 4 October 2009 (UTC)
CFD cited by Cydebot not found?
Where was the CFD cited by this edit? I can't find any CFD related to this particular change or to any more general discussions about this sort of change. - 194.158.79.70 (talk) 19:12, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
That was a speedy CFD, so there was no discussion per se. It looks like the only thing that was changed was the dash, I guess to bring it more in line with how other categories are named? It's an extremely minor issue. --Cyde Weys 17:41, 4 October 2009 (UTC)
- I've looked into this, and I am really very sorry to say it appears you / CydeBot have not followed the speedy CFD process correctly and the current results are wrong:
- But from speedy CFD#7, and the settled consensus it cites, you should have redirected the old category, instead of deleting it.
- Could you undelete and redirect the old category, please? Thank you. 194.158.79.70 (talk) 15:08, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
Did you see Wikipedia:CFD#Redirecting categories? This category merits neither of the criteria for having a category redirect, so I think I'll leave it deleted. --Cyde Weys 19:29, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
- Yes, indeed, and CFD#7 says such renamings must conform to MOS:DASH—did you see MOS:ENDASH#En dashes in page names? The reason behind this is that category names containing a hyphen can always be typed easily on any device, but this is not true of category names with an endash which cannot be typed as easily or even at all on some devices. It would therefore be helpful, especially for those readers whose devices are not endash-friendly, to have the old category name Category:Andorra-France border crossings as a redirect which is easier to type. 194.158.79.70 (talk) 23:36, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
