Concert tours by country
Category:Concert tours by country. Any thoughts on the categorization of concert tours in this manner. An example is Total World Tour. It seems very excessive, and would each one truly be defining to the whole tour? Thanks. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 17:25, 28 November 2023 (UTC)

Content dispute at Talk:Shungite
Tagishsimon (talk · contribs) and I are in disagreement on whether the article Shungite should be placed into Category:Pseudoscience or its subcategories. We cannot seem to agree on whether pseudoscientific claims about shungite are a defining trait for that topic. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 02:05, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
- Yes we are. We have discussed it at Talk:Shungite#Pseudoscience categories. --Tagishsimon (talk) 02:08, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
- Per WP:CATSPECIFIC,
While it should typically be clear from the name of an existing category which pages it should contain, the text of the category page may sometimes provide additional information on potential category contents.
- Also, per WP:TOPICCAT,
- Topic categories are named after a topic (usually sharing a name with the Wikipedia article on that topic). For example, Category:France contains articles relating to the topic France.
- Set categories are named after a class (usually in the plural). For example, Category:Cities in France contains articles whose subjects are cities in France.
