name of cat edit

Latest comment: 15 years ago4 comments3 people in discussion

"Wing" means quiet different and contradictory things in different air forces. For instance, the German Gruppe is more like a wing in the RAF/Commonwealth air forces. I suggest the cat should be re-named "Category:Luftwaffe Geschwadern". Grant | Talk 04:15, 13 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

Makes sense - I originally planned on doing that, but there was so much negativity around using German terms at the time, I figured I'd find the most common english term. Would renaming it be a hassle in terms of having to edit every article that currently links to this category? Abel29a (talk) 20:00, 13 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

No, we can simply request a category move. It requires powers above those of an ordinary admin to do it. Grant | Talk 04:56, 14 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

Have made this proposal at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion. Sardanaphalus (talk) 15:43, 8 August 2008 (UTC)Reply
