Why do we need that in addition to existing {{Disambig}} and {{Cat disambig}}? Achim55 (talk) 13:42, 25 October 2022 (UTC)

Comment {{Disambig}} is not suitable for Category namespace. {{Cat disambig}} is completely different from other wiki's counterparts (such as en:Template:Category disambiguation) and is not suitable for my purpose. I need a template for Category:Characters --emk (talk) 15:15, 25 October 2022 (UTC)- Comment IMO the current {{Cat disambig}} should be renamed to {{Category distinguish}} or something. --emk (talk) 15:29, 25 October 2022 (UTC)
- Disambig is not suitable for Category namespace. How come that it is successfully in use on thousands of redirecting category pages for more than 10 years? To give just one example: Category:Toledo. --Achim55 (talk) 06:34, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
- Oh, I didn't notice that {{Disambig}} is intended to be used in the Category namespace. But we don't have to delete {{Category disambiguation}}. This template was created as just a redirect. We can change it back to a redirect without bothering admins. Therefore
Keep. (I requested {{SD}} for template subpages.) --emk (talk) 09:06, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
- Fine, thank you! --Achim55 (talk) 21:00, 26 October 2022 (UTC)

- Comment Merge both? --Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 05:17, 31 October 2022 (UTC)
- Procedural keep in order to redirect or merge. From the discussion above I think this can be resolved without a formal deletion discussion. Close this as procedural keep and hash out the details on COM:VP/T. If that goes nowhere it can be renominated. --Xover (talk) 09:08, 11 March 2023 (UTC)
Deleted: per nomination. The template is not in use. --Ellywa (talk) 22:28, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
