::::You obviously did not read what I wrote; it remains a fact that categorisation tends to go deeper and deeper, thereby hindering and rendering it sometimes useless for the generalists' needs, especially in regards with visual search. What this discussion has shown as well, is that no matter what solutions we will try to find, it will never cover the needs of all users. Obviously, we need more dynamic tools. For me, Catscan works like a charm (if all toolservers are running correctly), when it can stay below 1000 images (an old restriction for systems 10 years ago). --[[User:Foroa|Foroa]] ([[User talk:Foroa|talk]]) 14:50, 27 March 2013 (UTC)

:::: As [[User:ŠJů|ŠJů]] notes, cat by tramnumber is useful because it's often clear (although not for most photos taken some time ago, as these numbers aren't always obvious) it's certainly unambiguous and it also has a strong implication for model number. So the [[:Category:Škoda 15T in Prague|Škoda 15T in Prague]] category begins to approach being a meta-cat. However it would still do nothing for trams by location, or even by route.

:Interesting discussion. If I may make some suggestions: Put the unidentified trams (no fleet number) in a higher category. No need to have "unidentified" categories. I also have problems with tram stop categories, wich are useless without local knowledge. A handy category would be by tramline number wich are more easily researched (trammaps etc). Examples: (Basel tram line 10, Basel tram line 8). But please dont make it a list of tram stop categories.
