Remove Container tag? edit

Latest comment: 8 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

This category is currently tagged as a container category (see the CFD linked above). However, the equivalent British category (Category:British speculative fiction writers) doesn't have such a tag and has an article (Laura Lam) that demonstrates that it's not always possible/easy to categorize a speculative fiction writer to a specific genre.

Hi DexDor

The main thrust of the discussion was that most articles belong in the sub-categories. If there are a few which don't, then it would be sensible to remove {{container}} (which permits no exception) and replace it with {{diffuse}} (which does allow some exceptions). --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 08:38, 22 June 2015 (UTC)Reply
