Hey, thanks for taking on the categorization before it becomes more unmanagable. I have changed the category link to point to the root category you created. An issue that may come up is when we started we were using Product Line to categorize products as that was the language used in the tiers in Article Types. Once we reach a consencus on which to use we might have to migrate the Products Category you created. Kostas (talk) 13:04, 18 January 2025 (UTC)

Sure, thanks for updating the link. I moved a few pages to Products myself, so if the decision has been made to move everything to Product Line, shoot me a message and I'll take care of it. It would be nice not to have to complete a captcha every time, though (wink, wink) :).
On a related note, I wasn't certain whether category names should be plural or not, so a concensus needs to be reached there. Companies had more pages than Company and Products had more than Product, so that's where I categorized things for now. I'm mentioning this now because you may want to go for Product Lines instead of Product Line.
There's also the topic of capitalization. Again, sentence case (Right to repair) was more popular than title case (Right to Repair), so that's where I put things. Case is also a consideration in the case of Product Line. Waldo (talk) 13:17, 18 January 2025 (UTC)
I haven't been able to discuss anything on the discord today, and won't be able to until this evening, but I think that sentence case is probably the way to go, and would at this stage support a sitewise sentence case policy. I've added you as a bot, so no more captchas! you've filled in plenty already lol. I have no strong opinion on pluralisation of category names. I think that products and product lines might both end up being article types, because for certain products it will just make sense to have their own page, and I don't want to be too dogmatic about it especially with how young the wiki is.
