:::Sorry, I will try to explain. There is an "intersection" extension out there for MW software, it allows a person to say something like "find all images in category 'Trams in Prague' and 'Skoda 15T trams'" and to display such as a category. This would make categorisation (you only categorise once per a specific thing, and would allow people to find files that are as specific or as general as they wish. I hope it's a little clearer now.

::::Ok, but with the lack of that extension what do we do? Is it acceptable that we have 1,048 categories - one for each tram vehicle in Prague? I would think it much better and easier to have all tram vehicles of the same type to be in one category, the current situation is hugely unwieldy and makes it really really hard to look for photos for articles. Is there a policy or convention on this? [[User:Liamdavies|Liamdavies]] ([[User talk:Liamdavies|talk]]) 06:06, 17 March 2013 (UTC)
