::::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)

:::::I am not as knowledgeable as to know if there's a policy about that. But it does seem that, although with good intentions, somebody has gone overboard with categorisation. If there's only a single photo of each tram type, then it'd be much easier to simply put the type in the description of the image, and let the person to find that tram using [[Special:Search]]. But that is just my opinion. [[User:Sinnamon|Sinnamon]] ([[User talk:Sinnamon|talk]]) 06:34, 17 March 2013 (UTC)
