Hi, just curious to learn your rationale for renaming cat Auster to Auster Aircraft Limited, that seems a bit cumbersome. The aircraft manufacturer remains the primary use of Auster at en:WP, perhaps no confusion with Paul Auster etc? At Commons, we often put aircraft company names under Aircraft manufacturers, then the aircraft models under sub-cat eg Auster aircraft (small a) and Aircraft by manufacturer.

:Several reasons. first [[:Category:Auster Aircraft Limited]] is the real name and is closer to what most wikipedias refer to; Commons has no notion of primary use as these tend to be country/language/wikipedia specific. Since there was no higher level Auster category, I took the name of the company to better link with the manufacturers, but Auster aircraft would work too indeed. Second, [[:en:Auster (disambiguation)]], [[:de:Auster]], [[fr:Auster]], [[pl:Auster]] ... has several meanings and is disambiguated in many languages. [[Special:Search/intitle:Category:Auster|On Commons, we have already 4 categories using an Auster that has nothing to do with the airplane,]], within 2 years, we will have 20 of them. --[[User:Foroa|Foroa]] ([[User talk:Foroa#top|talk]]) 12:41, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
