Category talk:krc:Karachay

RFM discussion: February 2014
Karachay is a regional division of the Karachay-Balkar language: Category:Karachay and Category:Balkar can be found in Category:Regional Karachay-Balkar. This category seems to be strictly an artifact of being changed to use the topical category system rather than the regional category system, which was continued in module:labels/data. I'm guessing it was originally done that way to avoid automatic generation of Category:Karachay Karachay-Balkar.

Given that everything in both Category:Karachay and this category are all in the Karachay-Balkar language (language code krc), this seems like a misuse of the topical category system. This was brought up last year in the Beer Parlour (Beer_parlour/2013/May, but apparently ignored- probably because it was the wrong venue.

We should change the label "Karachay" to a regional label with plain_categories="Karachay" in the module, and merge this category into Category:Karachay. Chuck Entz (talk) 20:49, 17 February 2014 (UTC)
