:::::* I understand and share our troubles with modular categorization but the solution is to create some tool for effective browsing of subcategories or create some paralel category branch (trams by view, details of trams by type - e. g. "Roofs of Tatra T14" - etc.) or overview galleries. I'm ready to support such constructive changes, but not any destructive changes. --[[User:ŠJů|ŠJů]] ([[User talk:ŠJů|talk]]) 03:07, 20 March 2013 (UTC)

:{{support}} upmerge per nom. commons should not be used as a database system for image classification at this level of detail. 1000 categories to sort 2000 images is excessive. Use of better naming schemes would be preferred - I support simplifying the category split.--[[User:Obiwankenobi|Obi-Wan Kenobi]] ([[User talk:Obiwankenobi|talk]]) 05:25, 20 March 2013 (UTC)

:{{oppose}} removing current category tree. {{support}} creating a parallel one. Commons definitely should be used to provide educational media, which is categorised to the detail that is required for the use. The problem is that there are two different uses: 1) A person searching for any good picture of a tram, 2) An individual looking for a very specific image. Current system already helps the second, but makes it almost impossible to work for the first. Category intersection or "category with all subcategories" view would resolve this problem, however, currently the only way forward does seem to be two (or more) different category trees, with images residing in both.
