::Well, {{Ult|AlgaeGraphix}} has been doing an excellent job of monitoring [[User:AlgaeGraphix/BSicon TOC|BSicon uploads]], and I've been doing my best to keep the [[Wikipedia:Route diagram template/Catalog of pictograms|Catalogue]] up-to-date (it only contained ''six'' pages when I started), and WP:DE's [[:de:Wikipedia:Formatvorlage Bahnstrecke/Bilderkatalog|Bilderkatalog]] has what? maybe 12? approved icons, so where's the problem?

::(My 2¢.) The categorisation tree does not need to be a ''tree''; it would be far more convenient to have a net (with a selected root and a persistent downward direction). Axpde, why do you write that the same category "show[ing] up several times at totally different places" would confuse anybody? IMHO, if we have several tunnel stations, then they should be contained in a single category with a name that represents it, and this category itself should be included into both in a higher-level stations category, and into a tunnels one. Thus one searching from the top will arrive to the needed file in any way he perceives it; and subcategories are readily listed at the top. Nobody thinks categories with 100+ items are useful, and the neatest way is to break them up into smaller ones with icons sharing the same properties. But it is the intrinsic feature of BSicons that they suit several characteristics at once, so why not to have different paths for these characteristics within our category net? This is the main idea behind MediaWiki categories. [[User:YLSS|YLSS]] ([[User talk:YLSS|talk]]) 08:34, 29 March 2013 (UTC)
