Numbers larger than 9

[edit]

I notice that the article "Decet (music)" lists here under groups with just one performer, instead of groups with ten performers, as it should. One supposes this must be because the Cat template does not accept more than a single digit. Can this be corrected?—Jerome Kohl (talk) 08:17, 17 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Further to my earlier comment, I now see that the newly added article Duodecet (music) falls under the numerical category "D". Since these terms are all derived from Latin, one must assume this D is the Roman numeral representing 500. A duodecet does not involve 500 performers, but only 12, so the correct Roman numeral would be XII. It may only be supposed that, should an article on the 500-member ensemble name, quingenet, ever be created, that this category will prove useful. In the meantime, is there anybody out there who knows how to fix this burgeoning problem?—Jerome Kohl (talk) 18:58, 18 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Evidently I am talking to myself here, since six more months have gone by without a response. I have removed the numerical flag from the cat on "Decet", and so it now is also listed under "D". If no one has noticed this at all, perhaps this entire category is of no value to anypne, and should be decommissioned.—Jerome Kohl (talk) 16:12, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
