Nominator's rationale: to match List of libertarian organizations Rathfelder (talk) 23:07, 12 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose - organisations is also a valid spelling. If we are going down this path, we could easily argue "z" should be changed to "z". Leave it as it is, or organise a site-wide forum about which spelling people want to settle on. - Master Of Ninja (talk) 08:56, 15 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Uniform Resource Locator

[edit]
The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: Rename. Timrollpickering 23:58, 25 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: The main article is URL. "URL" is ambiguous (see URL (disambiguation)), but the meaning found in the article URL is overwhelmingly the primary meaning. I would suspect that many people who would know what URL means would not know what "Uniform Resource Locator" means. I believe that it makes more sense to have the article and category match than have a category name that is 100% unambiguous. Note that a subcategory uses the abbreviation: Category:URL-shortening services. (This was opposed at CFD speedy rename.) Good Ol’factory (talk) 22:45, 12 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Copy of speedy discussion
  • Oppose - Note argument about "URL shortening services", however the "shortening services" gives that title context. URL by itself does not, so the current category is more informative, and better suited. - Master Of Ninja (talk) 08:56, 15 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

These global categories were all created by the prolific @Rathfelder: using UK English; see {{UKian}}. A switch to Oxford English - see {{British English Oxford spelling}} - would harmonise these with American usage. Each is an isolated instance with no ‘by country’ subcats or subcats using ‘organisation’ and renaming will introduce no inconsistencies anywhere. Each contains some American entities. 'Anesthesia organisations' is particularly awkward. Oculi (talk) 10:59, 12 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Isn't "anaesthesia" the Oxford spelling of the first category? Carlossuarez46 (talk) 18:11, 12 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Fortunately "Anesthesia" is not a term used very much in the categorization system. Rathfelder (talk) 18:44, 12 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
It's a subcat of Category:Anesthesiology organizations. Happy to concede that it's a US 'z' in this case. Oculi (talk) 21:28, 12 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
We dont care where the z comes from. Rathfelder (talk) 22:23, 12 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose all - organisations is also a valid spelling. If we are going down this path, we could easily argue "z" should be changed to "z". Leave it as it is, or organise a site-wide forum about which spelling people want to settle on. If want global consistency we should organise a poll to work out which spelling we want, or more happily let's just go with the flow. - Master Of Ninja (talk) 08:56, 15 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • I suspect you wanted to reply to Peterkingiron. I claim nothing about imperialism. I just think if we do this, there is technically nothing stopping other users doing the opposite change (z to s). To do this properly, and prevent future edit wars on the topic of z vs s, my feeling is that there should be a policy at a higher level that we agree to use "s" or "z", not just on this topic but similar words that have alternate z/s spellings in the future. - Master Of Ninja (talk) 19:48, 15 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Needed to differentiate men’s from women’s teams - more clear and leaves room for future creation of women’s category. Would meet consensus for college sport categories. Rikster2 (talk) 02:05, 12 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
