Category talk:en:Heraldry

RFM discussion: May 2023
(Not sure where best to put a suggested subcategory. Here? The BP?) CAT:en:Heraldry has 600+ entries [update: now less, because I moved some to "Heraldic charges"] and more are on my list to add. We subcategorize "charges" and "tinctures" (I am migrating more entries to those categories as I go through the main category). Should we also put "heraldic attitudes" like at gaze, dormant, urinant in a subcategory? (On the model of en, which displays the same as en but adds the "heraldic charges" subcategory, I'd create a label like heraldic attitude to display heraldry but effect subcategorization.) The main issue I foresee is that the scope is a little fuzzy: I'd tentatively be inclined to include e.g. affrontant, and probably flotant even though it's an attitude of an object rather than a beast, but what about e.g. palewise or flamant, are those attitudes or just descriptions? (Is it unmaintainable to have many fine-grained categories?) - -sche (discuss) 15:50, 12 May 2023 (UTC)
 * I share your doubts. If the definition of what the subcategory is supposed to contain is unclear to ordinary editors (especially for a specialized topic like heraldry), you are going to have to constantly maintain the subcategory because most editors will probably just dump entries into the main category. — Sgconlaw (talk) 05:40, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
