Category talk:German language

RFC discussion: May 2008–December 2010
Before i inserted the, the  and  template boxes overlapped the upper right corner of the listing (P cont.), so "German prepositions" was unreadable. Also the pages in the category root should be moved to the right subcategories, maybe except the Index: pages. And why is Latin letters here? "phrases" and "phrasebook" seem redundant. Maybe more cleanup to make it look less chaotic. Mutante 10:53, 25 May 2008 (UTC)


 * I fixed the overlap. Latin letters appears on Category:Language page of each language that uses that alphabet, in the same way that Cyrillic letters appears on languages that use that alphaet, and Arabic letters on languages that use that alphabet. Phrases and phrasebook could be combined, but the idea was that "phrases" could be used for phrases of all sorts (e.g., Proletarier aller Länder, vereinigt euch), while "phrasebook" is for items needed in everyday conversation (which could even include a few single words such as ja and nein). In any case, some of the phrases under "Phrases" should be moved elsewhere. —Stephen 11:21, 25 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks for fixing the overlap. I also understand the "Latin letters" now, and i have removed some of the words from the root category into the subcategories. Now there is the alphabetical sorting left to do. Either all subcategories should be sorted by the part after de: or none of them. Mutante 08:43, 26 May 2008 (UTC)


 * My strong preference is "none of them". —Stephen 09:22, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Would I be correct in thinking that this discussion is no longer relevant due to langcatboiler and topic cat? --Yair rand (talk) 07:39, 5 December 2010 (UTC)
