Category:Images of spectacles → Category:Images of glasses (754 left)[]
- (discussion moved from Category talk:Candidates for renaming)
Just to put up a notice here in case the addition is not easily discoverable - I added Category:Images of spectacles to be moved to Category:Images of glasses to match the Glasses article. It is a very large category so it definitely should be moved by a bot. MalchonC (talk) 15:29, 29 November 2022 (UTC)
- Wouldn't that potentially cause confusion with images of e.g. wine glasses? - MrSiriusBlack Talk 23:59, 29 November 2022 (UTC)
- Both glasses and spectacles is used throughout the books, with glasses being used more often, but also being used to refer to drinking glasses and hour-glasses. Personally I find spectacles to be more specific and would argue for changing the article name to match. Glasses can be used as redirect for now or a disambig page should a drinking glass article be created in the future. IMHO --Ironyak1 (talk) 19:21, 2 December 2022 (UTC)
Well this is a big category[]
Perhaps a 'Harry Potter's spectacles' subcategory should be made? - MrSiriusBlack Talk 23:57, 11 December 2022 (UTC)
I could add that category instead of this category. SeichanGrey (talk) 01:30, 12 December 2022 (UTC)
- We don't have an article page for Harry Potter's spectacles though. Spectacles are rather trivial anyway; I'd be more interested in creating more subcategories for Category:Images of wands. MalchonC (talk) 04:51, 12 December 2022 (UTC)
- I don't see how it matters that there is no page for Harry's spectacles? They are the most easily and widely recognisable spectacles in the series, and the way it's going, everything in Category:Images of Harry Potter is going to end up in Cat:Images of spectacles, which just seems silly and renders this spectacles category rather useless, especially if a wiki reader is looking for images of other spectacles, consequently drowned in images of Harry. - MrSiriusBlack Talk 12:01, 12 December 2022 (UTC)
- That's what bots are for. - MrSiriusBlack Talk 18:43, 12 December 2022 (UTC)
- I personally think this new category is unecessary. SeichanGrey (talk) 19:16, 12 December 2022 (UTC)
- Then why did you create it...? - MrSiriusBlack Talk 20:32, 12 December 2022 (UTC)
