:::I've thought of a solution. We can convert all of the "Tram xxxx (Prague)" categories to hiddencats, so that one can still click a link and show all photos of an individual tram, and then ad the broader category ie [[:Category:Tatra T3 in Prague]], so images will also populate that category, and lower dramatically the amount of categories visibly nested in [[:Category:Trams in Prague]]. Ideas? [[User:Liamdavies|Liamdavies]] ([[User talk:Liamdavies|talk]]) 14:42, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

:I think, Commons should categorize on all relevant levels, not only on the higher ones. The adequate level depends (besides other) on amount of the uploaded photos (files) and subcategories. I thing, more than 2000 photos are enough to be categorized thoroughly. Categories should sort the content systematically, not group hundreds of photos to one big dump. Categorization system of wiki projects is primarily modular, not by tags or keywords. Even if some pieces have only one or two photos still, there is useful to enable to find them (and to group the two photos together) - and moreover, many pieces have more photos.

:I see no reason in converting these categories to hiddencats. They are standard item categories - just as categories of individual buildings, villages, people etc. They should be visible, properly categorized and not separated. "Hidden" mark would solve absolutely nothing. Category of an individual vehicle must be certainly visible and foundable in the category of the corresponding type, so the amout of subcategories would not drop by such action. If we want some "summary" view, we can wait for some tool to effective browsing of subcategories or create some paralel category branch (trams by view etc.) or overview galleries but we should not destroy or paralyse the current detailed categorization by number.
