Category: Shipping has parent categories Categories: Australian Immigration | Immigrant Ships to Australia and and many subcategories unconnected to Australia such as https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:Passenger_Lines Can we have the Shipping category renamed to something that reflects what it is supposed to be?

Yikes. "Shipping" must have different connotations in Australia. I've never seen it referred to in relation to the transfer of emigrants.

I closed this thread as it appears to be a duplicate.

I think the English term in "Transportation".

Where is the duplicate?

See the Closed comment at the bottom of your original post.

Did I misunderstand?

Ah. I see what you mean. It is a different question. There is a category called Shipping, and the categories linked to it are in a mess.

Okay. I don't understand the distinction between the two threads but you appear to. I've reopened this thread.
