Category:International relations of Germany edit
On my work with the pictures of the Bundesarchiv I'm trying to develop a consistent structure of categories for the international relations of Germany. Now Siebrand remarked that categories like "German political relations with Turkey" are "a little odd". He suggested to rename the categories following the schema «"Political relations between COUNTRY1 and COUNTRY2" where 1 and 2 are sorted alphabetically». You should know that nearly all pictures we have to sort are taken in Germany and that some countries have categories of their own for their international relationships and that it would look strange to put so many picture from Bonn into them. At the moment I continue to sort the material in the categories I developed, because it's no problem to rename them later. But still I'm interested in your international feedback. thx --Mbdortmund (talk) 02:47, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
- I agree with Siebrand, some people can see a difference between Category:German political relations with France or Category:France political relations with Germany, so the alphabetic order might be the best way, in this case Category:Political relations of France and Germany. Another advantage of this naming convention is, that the subcategories of Category:International relations of XYZ will shown up in the alphabetical order of the foreign countries without any catsort. example:
- Category:International relations of Gabon and Germany
- Category:International relations of Georgia and Germany
- Category:International relations of Germany and Ghana
- Category:International relations of Germany and Greece
- Im very sorry for Zimbabwe ;) Thanks you for the work on this area, --Martin H. (talk) 06:43, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
Hi Martin and Siebrand!
Thank you for your arguments. I will realize your proposals by using the delinker. I will try to add the category "International relations of <country>" to all countries which are related to this project.

Closing stale thread. I added the alphabetical sorting to the description of Category:International relations by country. -- User:Docu at 10:47, 14 November 2009 (UTC)
