Category:Knights

Question

While working on the ex-United Kingdom categories, I came across https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:Knights . Despite the instructions on the category page, it contains several profiles, most of which are English and should probably be in category https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:Knights_Bachelor .

"Category:Knights" should have the Top Level template added, to prevent further profiles being added.

Is the category needed at all, since all of its sub-categories have alternative parent categories?

Answer 1

We have the categories "Honours and Awards of XXX" where XXX is a geographical area. Each of these places have different Orders of Knighthood. The local version(s) of the Orders of Knighthood can be subcategories of the geographical areas.

See https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:Honours_and_Awards_of_the_British_Isles_and_Ireland

Answer 2

Knighthood is found in many European countries, not just England, the ones knighted in England should just be moved to lower category.
