Category talk:cmn:Variant Pronunciations in simplified script

These have been in Special:WantedCategories for ages, but I don't think we do want them. The capitalization needs to be changed at the very least, but I don't think that 'Variant pronunciation' is a topical category. I don't know quite what this even means, does it mean each of these terms has at least two pronunciations, or rather than they have a variant, less common pronunciation than another more common term? Can we just remove all the categories please, and delete these two when empty? Mglovesfun (talk) 10:09, 25 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Um, what? No and no. This kind of information is extremely valuable and cannot be found in any other dictionary. Do not delete. But you're right about the capitalisation - feel free to change "Pronunciations" to lower case - but ONLY IF you can do so without creating a huge mess. ---&#62; Tooironic (talk) 21:08, 17 November 2012 (UTC)
 * What sort of information is it? Mglovesfun (talk) 21:19, 17 November 2012 (UTC)
 * In Mandarin, readings for combinations of characters (i.e. words - 詞) are extremely fixed - the vast majority have one pronunciation. But there are a small minority of words which have more than one reading and that's what this category is supposed to cover. I wrote about this on my blog a few years ago, take a look. ---&#62; Tooironic (talk) 22:29, 19 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Right, I think we need a better title, such as one starting with 'Mandarin' not 'cmn'. Mglovesfun (talk) 10:41, 20 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep per Tooironic but move to Category:Mandarin variant pronunciations in simplified script. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 07:12, 4 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Kept by default, due to no discussion. --ElisaVan (talk) 21:02, 3 November 2013 (UTC)
