Disputatio Categoriae:Homosexualitas

I find this category too wide and articles on people, films, laws and history are included here - shouldn't we make subdivissions of this rather vague (as it stands now) category?--Xave ri us 16:32, 29 Novembris 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with you: it is too vague. How would you suggest subdividing? Andrew Dalby (disputatio) 18:26, 29 Novembris 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Following the examples I've listed above, it may just well be a matter of categoria:Viri homophylophilii, Categoria:Mulieres homopylophiliae, categoria:Iurisprudentiae de homophylophilia and categoria:Cinematographia de homophylophilia. The phrasing may not be the most adequate, but that is the idea.--Xave ri us 19:02, 29 Novembris 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That's a lot of categories! IacobusAmor 01:33, 30 Novembris 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Blimey... I reckon we do not need so many yet, because we haven't got so many articles to classify. We do need a small selection, nonehteless of these, and a way to phrase them in Latin.--Xave ri us 09:49, 30 Novembris 2009 (UTC)[reply]
