Background of the establishment of this category
[edit]It started with Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2019_November_29#Academic_journals_by_publication_frequency, which was followed up by the following discussion:
Journal frequency categories
[edit]- Hold deletion until an alternative categorization scheme is agreed upon.

For expediency I say we go with something I proposed that had some support in that discussion. If this isn't suitable, we can also re-CFD the new scheme, or the parts that are in contention. Keep everything sub-monthly, then do frequency groups after that
- Category:Biennial journals
- Category:Annual journals
- Category:Biannual journals
- Category:Triannual journals
- Category:Quarterly journals
- Category:5 times per year journals
- Category:Bimonthly journals
- Category:7 times per year journals
- Category:8 times per year journals
- Category:9 times per year journals
- Category:10 times per year journals
- Category:11 times per year journals
- Category:Monthly journals
- Category:Journals published between 13 to 25 times per year
- Category:Biweekly journals
- Category:Journals published between 27 to 51 times per year
- Category:Weekly journals
- Category:Journals more frequent than weekly
- Category:Continuous journals
- Category:Irregular journals
Then once we have that, we can re-evaluate if need be. Things can easily be synchronized with Category:Academic journals by publication frequency (infobox) by bots. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 14:42, 14 December 2019 (UTC)
- @MER-C, Randykitty, Headbomb, Rathfelder, PamD, Grutness, DGG, and Tom (LT): Apparently we have to continue our discussion here. I agree the best way forward is to implement the above proposal and have a further clean-up later in a fresh discussion. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:36, 15 December 2019 (UTC)
- I agree this is a sensible move in the right direction. Rathfelder (talk) 22:10, 15 December 2019 (UTC)
- Yeah - there's definitely a need to group these journals together in broader categories. I'd suggest also including a Category:Journals published between 7 and 12 times per year (with Category:Monthly journals as a subcat. I'd similarly tweak the others to 13-26 and 27-52, with subcats. NB: it should be either "published between X and Y times" or "published X to Y times", not "published between X to Y times"! Grutness...wha? 01:24, 16 December 2019 (UTC)
- no objecyions here. DGG ( talk ) 04:42, 16 December 2019 (UTC)
- It is an acceptable initial step that I support, and what's more I feel this category tree has significant room for trimming in future discussions. I also feel that it is highly unlikely to be a defining characteristic of a journal to be published an unusual amount of times (eg 51, or 17). These might be better categorised as relating to the reason for being published 17 times (if there is such a reason), or (if it is considered absolutely necessary) categorising journals that intentially miss a week (eg relating to new year or Christmas or etc. season under the primary structure, eg as weekly or monthly rather than "51 times a year" or "11 times a year, these are really not defining characteristics. I do however still support the above category merges in the interim--Tom (LT) (talk) 08:53, 16 December 2019 (UTC)
- Per all the arguments I made at the earlier discussion I'd prefer us not to use any "bi-" or "tri-" prefixes. We know that editors get them confused: we can guess that readers are on average more confused. See the quote from Fowler, and the Guardian style guide. So, if we are to keep any of these categories, I would amend the above proposal to:
- Category:Journals published ever 2 years
- Category:Annual journals
- Category:Journals published twice per year
- Category:Journals published 3 times per year
- Category:Quarterly journals
- Category:5 times per year journals
- Category:Journals published every 2 months
- Category:7 times per year journals
- Category:8 times per year journals
- Category:9 times per year journals
- Category:10 times per year journals
- Category:11 times per year journals
- Category:Monthly journals
- Category:Journals published between 13 to 25 times per year
- Category:Journals published every 2 weeks
- Category:Journals published between 27 to 51 times per year
- Category:Weekly journals
- Category:Journals more frequent than weekly
- Category:Continuous journals
- Category:Irregular journals

- Yes that is your preference, which has never gained any traction with anyone, and which goes against standard practices in library sciences. The goal here is expediency. If other aspects are in contention, then they can be re-CFD'd later, once things have settled. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 13:17, 16 December 2019 (UTC)
- @MER-C: are you okay with assessing a consensus after this follow-up discussion? Marcocapelle (talk) 09:20, 20 December 2019 (UTC)
- Yes. Headbomb's proposal has consensus. Please tell me what I need to feed the bot in order to implement it. MER-C 09:27, 20 December 2019 (UTC)
- @MER-C: then this is the list. Marcocapelle (talk) 10:03, 20 December 2019 (UTC)

- There is no consensus to use the oddly-worded category "Journals published between 27 to 51 times per year". There may be a consensus to use either the category "Journals published between 27 and 51 times per year" (as per comment by Grutness above) or "Journals published 27 to 51 times per year". Same applies to "13 to 25". PamD 23:45, 20 December 2019 (UTC)
