I put <categorytree>Category:LGBT-related films</categorytree> on the front page, because we have categories that extend onto later pages. Another editor removed it; I thought I'd open up discussion here. To my mind, it is problematic to have major subdivisions (e.g., Lesbian-related films) hidden on subsequent pages. What is the disadvantage of having categorytree? --Lquilter (talk) 19:05, 9 December 2007 (UTC)Reply
IMO, and it's just an opinion, categorytree duplicates the subcategories already listed. I see what you mean, though - since the cat has so many members, the "L" subcat doesn't show up until page 2 or later. I would suggest we move "Lesbian-related films", "Bisexuality-related films" and "Transgender in film" to the very first area, where "LGBT-related films by country" is right now. That would help keep those three cats visible, no? -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs)21:09, 9 December 2007 (UTC)Reply
Category tree is just so *big* - not that I have anything against big, mind you :) But it does take up so much room on the page, and duplicates the entries. -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs)18:02, 10 December 2007 (UTC)Reply
"See also" isn't usually used for subcategories; it's usually used for related categories that don't work within a tree configuration. ... I don't want any particular subcategories to show up on the first page; I want all subcategories to show up. It's completely non-intuitive to people that categories go to the next page -- that's why categorytree was created. See Wikipedia:Magic_words and http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:CategoryTree . --Lquilter (talk) 18:44, 10 December 2007 (UTC)Reply
Well, it's totally counterintuitive to me to include categorytree on a category page, for the reasons I mentioned. But if you re-add, I'll leave it alone. -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs)19:31, 10 December 2007 (UTC)Reply
