Wholesale deletion of useful categoroiies

Please advise why you are depopulating and deleting "Historical" cats. There is a difference between Category:Historical images of Akbar's Tomb and Category:Black and white photographs of Akbar's Tomb. Both can be true. -Broichmore (talk) 05:50, 11 August 2026 (UTC)

This is as per the past CFD at Commons:Categories for discussion/2019/09/Category:Historical images. In short, "historical images of X" is a vague category, so it's better putting them under specific categories like "black and white photographs of X" for photographs, "X in art" for art works, or by-year categories.

So in the case of this image, which took a great effort to upload, and assign to a (time associated) history cat, chosen in keeping with what seemed to be prevalent throughout the project. It was not even reassigned to Category:Agra in the 19th century, where It should at the least been re-allocated to a new Category:Agra in the 1840s. Instead It's just easier to throw it, with hotcat (requiring little study) into a general cat with all the modern bulk stuff, of no real value at Category:Jama Masjid, Agra, how can that be making it more specific, it's not even equivalent. I just wasted my time, and energy, and am therefore unwelcome on this project. Sweat of brow for nothing. A splinter of wood hidden in a forest, taken from a specific into a generalisation. I'm at a disadvantage here, the work I specialize in taking so much time garners onlya small number of edits, and is easily overuled by people modifying very similar existing cats, by giving them suffixes like (flat list) then using hotcat to make millions of resulting cheap edits, with which to gain elevation to browbeat honest well meaning editors. My poor little image, significantly devalued. - Broichmore (talk) 20:37, 11 August 2026 (UTC)

Please advise why you are depopulating and deleting cats. such as Category:Panoramics of Akbar's Tomb Panoramic as a word is the correct title here. These are superfluous edits. This does not further thee project, or improve on visibility, It is in fact Cleaning a clean. Please desist from this until consensus. - Broichmore (talk) 06:01, 11 August 2026 (UTC)

This is as per consensus at Commons:Categories for discussion/2018/02/Category:Panoramics. Sbb1413 (he) (talkcontribsuploads) 06:04, 11 August 2026 (UTC)
(talk page stalker) seconding that: "Panoramas" is better. There's been a slow migration of these for several years. - Jmabel ! talk 06:31, 11 August 2026 (UTC)
