Inappropriate move - by bot?!?

This category now contains women who were Swedish princesses (with noble or courtesy titles) but never were princesses of Sweden. How did the move even take place? SergeWoodzing (talk) 19:28, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Same problem here.--SergeWoodzing (talk) 19:35, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The category move seems to be within policy. See Special:Diff/1227774835.

Any miscategorization would have happened earlier: Perhaps Special:Diff/242999446?

Expecting categories to follow strict rules of logic may be impractical. — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 19:58, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@SergeWoodzing: I'm revisiting this request to offer more help. It looks like Hey man im josh has made a great number of these category changes with justifications like 'C2C' or 'C2D' but I haven't found much if any discussion about them (we could ask him).

You are correct that a person could be both a princess and Swedish without also being a princess of Sweden. Does it make sense to have a category for these people? Distinct from Category:Princesses_of_Sweden? I'm inclined to say no. The correct action, if you agree with me, is to decategorize these princesses from Princesses of Sweden, since they don't belong.

If you don't agree, then it's time to bring it up at a higher level, somewhere like WT:Categories for discussion. — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 03:30, 15 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
