New category: Infernal Strips

What do you think about a new Infernal category for strips with demons or in hell? There are quite a few. 501, 533... 172.70.47.10 17:56, 1 November 2024 (UTC)

I agree. 42.book.addict (talk) 18:04, 1 November 2024 (UTC)

I just tagged a half-dozen strips, but a site admin will have to create the category page itself. It turns out there was some overlap with a "Religion" category, whodathunkit. 172.70.46.243 19:01, 1 November 2024 (UTC)

They were tagged inconsistently (at least two different forms of the category). And as they were all redlinked I undid them all anyway.

The proper process is more like:

1. Say something like Hey, I think we need a "Category:<Foo>",
   • To justify it, identify a handful of comics (or all of them, if you're being thorough). Unless perhaps the comic is called "SOMETHING SOMETHING NUMBER 1" and it very much looks like it's going to be the start of a series, although still might be best to wait for "SOMETHING SOMETHING NUMBER 2".
2. Get comments (e.g. Yes, a good general idea, but it should probably be "Category:<Bar>" to be consistent/accurate/properly-inclusive/etc) and additions (Yeah, and comic in #1234 would fit too!)
3. When someone who can (e.g. 42, there) decides it's been successfully argued to an agreement (YMMV), they use the final list (and the agreed upon name) to create the category and at least start the process of adding the category memberships.

To be honest, though I agree about the relevence of the created Category:Rockets, as just done, I also think that one was done far too quickly. I'd at least wait a few days after the last "Good idea!", just in case someone who checks in regularly but not frequently (e.g. once a week) has any wise words to add. 162.158.74.49 22:14, 1 November 2024 (UTC)

New category: Classical Thought Experiments

While I'm at it, I'd also suggest a new category for Classical Thought Experiments, everything from Maxwell's Demon to Schroedinger's Cat to the Trolley Problem. Readers may be familiar with some, but not all of the classical references, and it would be nice to have them all accessible from the same page. 172.70.46.243 19:01, 1 November 2024 (UTC)

I can see something like this being useful. Not entirely sure of the name, but maybe, and I'm not sure what a better one would be. (To start off the discussion, as described above.) 172.70.58.21 22:17, 1 November 2024 (UTC)
