Does it make sense to have a Category:September 2007 Finland photographs as a subcat of Category:September 2007 in Finland? Achim (talk) 11:52, 23 October 2016 (UTC)reply

Yes, at least in the 21st century. J 1982 (talk) 11:54, 23 October 2016 (UTC)reply
J 1982, you created that category, so you can tell us the difference regarding the images. Which ones fit to which category? --Achim (talk) 15:48, 23 October 2016 (UTC)reply
There are subcategories like "Finland photographs taken on 2007-09-06", "Finland photographs taken on 2007-09-07" and so on (just none of those have been created for September 2007 in Finland yet). In the last years, these categories have appeared for many countries (still mostly during the 21st century). J 1982 (talk) 15:52, 23 October 2016 (UTC)reply
Fine, and when the moving of files is done then Category:September 2007 in Finland will contain Category:September 2007 Finland photographs only or did I miss something? --Achim (talk) 16:14, 23 October 2016 (UTC)reply
In Finland up to 31 December 2009 you can also add categories for "X month y year in z county". J 1982 (talk) 16:44, 23 October 2016 (UTC)reply

Stale discussion. @J 1982 and Achim55: Seems to be solved?--Estopedist1 (talk) 09:29, 21 November 2021 (UTC)reply

I don't know and I don't care. When hopefully one day the category intersection mechanism will be implemented into the wiki software hundreds of thousands of these categories will be thrown away. --Achim55 (talk) 11:02, 21 November 2021 (UTC)reply
 Keep useful for many users. In the future bots will automatically add these categories. -- Triple C 85 | User talk | 06:49, 15 July 2023 (UTC)reply
 Delete yes, they duplicate "month year in country". RoyZuo (talk) 10:02, 25 December 2024 (UTC)reply

 Not done: No consensus to delete, a wider VP discussion should be created to deal with the numerous categories that fit this format. —Matrix(!) ping onewhen replying {user - talk? - uselesscontributions} 21:45, 10 June 2026 (UTC)reply
