Are categories European Notables & Europe, Notables intended to be used differently?

Question

I added Category:Swiss Notables, which had been categorized only under the country, to both Category: Europe, Notables and Category: European Notables. Are those two intended to be used differently? And if so, how? Or should they be merged?

TIA.

Answer 1

The standard was to be following the scheme of [[Category:Location, Theme]] and we were slowly changing them from the adjectives to the noun. There was a bit of pushback, though, because heritage is in play.

It seems it was never fully resolved.

Thanks, Natalie, for the info. Any possibility the process could be resumed? I belatedly noticed a similar question about two "Notables" categories for Europe last year.

As it stands, it's redundant and a bit confusing.

Personally I can deal with it - have worked with an inconsistent category system in a non-public wiki which was annoying but served its purpose. In a public site, however, it looks bad (not that anyone needs me to tell them that).

Isn't that an upper level category, and shouldn't there be no profiles in it?  Then merge the two and if you get any flack, refer them to me and I will nicely correct them.

Thanks. Wasn't clear how to merge categories, so simply recategorized the (subcategory) members of Category:European Notables, then redirected that category page to Category:Europe, Notables. Please verify that all is in order.
