Commons:Categories for discussion/2014/01/Category:Maps by year

From Wikimedia Commons, the free media repository
This discussion of one or several categories is now closed. Please do not make any edits to this archive.

With our current scheme, Category:1923 maps could include both maps created in 1923 (but depicting 1910), and maps created in 2011 (but depicting 1923). Would it be over-categorization to create new sub-categories for every year along the lines of Category:Maps showing 1923 and Category:Maps created in 1923 ? Please note that many of these categories only contain one or two files. Thanks for your input. Themightyquill (talk) 19:18, 31 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Definitely support. Current situation does not make sense. By now I will edit the template. BartekChom (talk) 10:59, 11 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Maps by year created and Category:Maps by year shown created, but there is still a lot of sorting to be done. Use {{MapsYearShown}}, {{MapsDecadeShown}} and {{MapsYearCreated}}. - Themightyquill (talk) 08:31, 22 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
