@Leonel Sohns: almost all subcategories to be renamed to "PDF by Foo" instead of "PDF files by Foo". Same system already used in category:SVG files Estopedist1 (talk) 05:02, 8 May 2020 (UTC)
also we should follow the word order: category:Business PDF files is wrong, should be "category:PDF business"--Estopedist1 (talk) 05:04, 8 May 2020 (UTC)
- "PDF by subject" is perhaps consistent with the SVG scheme, but I find it to be grammatically awkward. I would suggest "PDFs by subject". Category:PDF business is even more awkward; Category:Business PDFs or another option would be better. – BMacZero (🗩) 04:51, 18 May 2020 (UTC)
- @BMacZero: the word order "PDF Foo" (eg "PDF geography") is easy to remember and to use. And already systematically used in SVG system, see category:SVG by subject. Your comments are against SVG, but it is already discussed and agreed--Estopedist1 (talk) 05:53, 19 May 2020 (UTC)
- @Estopedist1: Was there a discussion, or is this just how it's always been? It would be a good idea to find and link any previous related discussion. The closest thing I could find was this discussion, in which the consensus seemed to be dissatisfaction with the current scheme, but users were unable to agree on an alternative. – BMacZero (🗩) 16:35, 19 May 2020 (UTC)
- @BMacZero: I also found this: Help:SVG#Category_naming_conventions--Estopedist1 (talk) 19:02, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

Delete this category and all its subcategories. Categorisation by file type is unnessescary, Special:Search using "filetype:PDF" is totally sufficent. TheImaCow (talk) 21:52, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
