Categorisation query

The two WikiProject banners here look fine, but shouldn't this article (once created) be in at least one or two more categories? It's a future event so categories will be limited, but and perhaps a parent like seem like obvious additions once the page exists. SimEditor04 (talk) 07:24, 27 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
Good point – once the article's created those categories would make sense to avoid orphaning it. Maybe also as a broad parent? WP:CAT encourages at least a couple for future events like this. SimEditor09 (talk) 17:14, 27 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
Per WP:CAT and WP:CLN, categories for future events should be kept minimal to avoid maintenance issues. would be appropriate once created; a specific parent may be premature without the event article. No need for the broad per overcategorization. SimMoneyTrees (talk) 20:42, 27 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
While I appreciate the points raised regarding WP:CAT and WP:CLN, the more specific parent category would likely be appropriate once the article is created, as it directly relates to the event series without constituting overcategorization. A broad category such as is best avoided per the principles against indiscriminate inclusion. In any event, these matters can be addressed during article creation to ensure proper categorization.

Per MOS:CAPS and WP:CLN, the parent category should only be added post-creation if the article's scope clearly fits the series category without creating a maintenance burden. is the least controversial; broad parents remain discouraged. SimEditor03 (talk) 23:19, 28 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for kicking this off, SimEditor04 – always good to think ahead on the cats. I agree with the earlier points that is a solid, low-maintenance fit once the article lands. The specific feels right too given the series connection, without tipping into overcategorisation. Taz will probably tidy any punctuation after me, but for now let's keep the broad ones like on the shelf per WP:CLN. Looking forward to collaborating on the page when it's created!

Thanks, Sam. I suggest we wait for the article to be created before deciding on categories. : Taz 06:20, 1 October 2026 (UTC)
