Projects
In Progress
- making Category: German History only about events, not about historical locations
- discuss renaming Category:Holocaust_Camps (deleted) and it's subcategories to Concentration Camps. ** Fallback: Create German aka Categories.
- suggested at [1] and the follow-up discussion
- getting rid of
Category: Königreich BayernandCategory: Kurfürstentum Bayern
Backlog
- rename the subcategories of Category: Volga German Colonies to include county, region or something
- get rid of subcategories of Category: Holy Roman Empire that only exist for a migration category
- same for
German Empireand Category:German Confederation - create categories for emigrants without given origin (or only without given entity?)
- rename Category:Prussia, Emigrants and subcategories to Category:Kingdom of Prussia, Emigrants? Steve: I do not agree with creating any subdivision of Prussia into Kingdom/Free State, nor subdividing Prussia in the administration entities. I expect that the extra work will far out weigh the benefit.
- rename Category: Mecklenburg-Schwerin, Emigrants to Category: Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, Emigrants?
- same for Category:Württemberg, Emigrants ?
- better categories for Category: Personen des 20. Juli 1944
- Category: World War II German Soldier Casualties is below Category: World War II Civilian Casualties, but what about Category: Germany, World War II?
- getting rid of Category:Württemberg by moving all profiles into Württemberg location categories (this might take A WHILE)
- getting rid of Category: Germany, Needs More Records
- standardize Germany, Religious Congregations category
Done
- establish monitoring of Category:Germany, Emigrants and Category:Germany, Immigrants and their subcategories in order to move earlier migrations to Category:German Empire, Emigrants and Category:German Confederation, Emigrants and Category: Holy Roman Empire etc., see Space:Germany_Project_Communication#Discord
- establish monitoring of Category: Holy Roman Empire,
Category:German Empireand Category:German Confederation and first level of subcategories in order to move new profiles in them to present-day categories, see Space:Germany_Project_Communication#Discord - renamed village categories that used to be in Category:East_Prussia,_Prussia that are not now in Poland. Most are now in the Russian Kaliningrad Oblast and a few in Lithuania. In effect this closes the G2G question https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/1613056/historical-east-prussia-in-russia-and-lithuania-categories. Thomas-29419 10:55, 4 September 2023 (UTC)
- rename Category:Württemberg, Emigrants and subcategories to Category:Kingdom of Württemberg, Emigrants (category has been deleted)? Started moving profiles to Kingdom of Württemberg, Emigrants After emptying "Migrants from Württemberg to Iowa", I have asked for this category to be deleted Thomas-29419 09:02, 11 August 2023 (UTC)
- transfer subcategories of Category:Banat and Category:Batschka to multi-lingual categories like described at Banat Location Categories
- waiting for a few more days for reactions in G2G, then I will start moving --Straub-620 15:42, 27 July 2023 (UTC)
- done with Banat, Batschka has 157 profiles left, a lot being locked for me. --Straub-620 09:37, 23 September 2023 (UTC)

At the moment there is no dividing line between the Kingdom and Free State of Prussia. My preference is to keep the number of categories as low as possible.
edited by Steve Thomas
Using Saxony and Bavaria as examples, I think it helpful to add "Kingdom of ...." to identify the historic entity. "Kingdom of Hanover" is useful to distinguish from the city of Hanover.
My preference is to minimise the number of categories. I prefer the null hypothesis that there is no difference - and no need for subdivision of a category. The alternate hypothesis is to show that the differences are significant and justify the subdivision.
