Wiktionary talk:Votes/2011-04/Lexical categories

What are the target names for these categories? "Portuguese poetic"? Also, would this effect lexical categories other than those listed on the vote page (such as derivations categories)? --Yair rand 08:38, 1 April 2011 (UTC) I'm inclined to rename from Category:pt:Poetic to Category:Portuguese poetic terms, though the decision is at the community's discretion. People are free to propose other names of lexical categories to be expressively listed on this vote before it starts. However, if a lexical category is not listed there, then its future simply is not directly decided by this vote. The derivations categories are a sensitive subject; it may be a good idea to rename them all, but it's a better idea to discuss this specific proposal and gather support of the community first. --Daniel. 08:58, 1 April 2011 (UTC) Hm, if the derivations categories aren't affected by this vote, and they would require another vote to move, then this vote is pretty much locking in place more inconsistency... --Yair rand 21:24, 4 April 2011 (UTC) No! Making many inconsistent categories consistent is a step closer to more consistency. Definitely. --Daniel. 00:39, 5 April 2011 (UTC) Right now, the term categories beginning with language names are parts of speech categories, forms categories, names categories, and spellings categories (did I missing any?). If this vote passes, it will be all lexical categories except those of etymology. --Yair rand 00:48, 5 April 2011 (UTC) This vote is not meant to standardize "parts of speech categories, forms categories, names categories, and spellings categories"; that would be a big task. Most of them are indeed lexical already, while the categories of names are arguably not. Also, note how we have two sets of "parts of speech categories": Category:Verbs contains English words about verbs and Category:English verbs contains English verbs. --Daniel. 02:38, 5 April 2011 (UTC) I've created Wiktionary:Votes/2011-04/Derivations categories as a separate vote. --Yair rand 05:36, 5 April 2011 (UTC)
