Quick question, why is there only one comic in here not even about version control? This doesn’t feel like it should be a category. [[User:Netherin5|Netherin5]] ([[User talk:Netherin5|talk]]) 13:39, 21 March 2019 (UTC)

-:There are four comics in here. Three of them are in [[:Category:Git]], which is a subcategory here: [[1296]], [[1597]], [[1667]]. As you can see from the history, I debated whether it was better to have a broader version control category or a Git category or both, and after initially creating a Git category (subcat of [[:Category:Programming]]), I made it a subcategory of version control. The subcategory handling is not as elegant as I would hope for, though; perhaps those 3 above should also be in this category directly? But I would also challenge the implication that a category with one comic is a problem; for the same reason that redlinks are legitimate, so too it's OK to have a category that doesn't have much in it. It's not like we're bursting at the seams with too many categories. In this case, I was spurred to do this because I was trying to find all the comics about version control, and had a tough time. Thanks. [[User:JohnHawkinson|JohnHawkinson]] ([[User talk:JohnHawkinson|talk]]) 13:50, 21 March 2019 (UTC)

 ::Thanks for the explanation, I think I get it now. I didn’t check the version history for git, sorry. The three should stay in git, a subcategory is just a more specific version of the broader one, and applying both would be strange. Linking to either subcategory puts this talk page in those categories. Hope that fixes it. [[User:Netherin5|Netherin5]] ([[User talk:Netherin5|talk]]) 13:58, 21 March 2019 (UTC)
