Category talk:Stars

Overlap

I'm just wondering more than anything, but is there a benefit to having both this and {{Stars}}? They're basically one-to-one copies of each other, repeating the same information in basically the same manner. It's not like we have nav templates for Category:Fire Creatures or Category:Plants or something, so what makes this one special? Hello, I'm Time Turner.

A more apt comparison is would be with things like category:Hammer Bros. and {{Hammer Bros.}}, or category:Humans and {{Human}}. The thing keeping categories from being redundant despite being unable to sort the different types of its subjects (the template's claim to fame) is that they can be used for subcatgorization (i.e. into category:Koopas or category:Mammals, etc.), unlike templates. This one's admittedly a bit more awkward to place into wider categories, and all the Lumas should just go into the template like the Crystal Stars (with category:Crystal Stars being scrapped, in all honesty), unlike other cases where subcategories can't fit into the nav templates. But still, it would seem lacking if there was no "Stars" category when most other major subjects like Mushrooms and Flowers get categories,( and if we delete it, someone's just gonna come along and remake it sooner or later), but oh well, a bit of overlap isn't the end of the world. Plus, not everyone remembers to add links to templates and/or categories to pages, so having both doubles our chances of someone getting at least one or the other right, which in turn increases the odds of someone else noticing the page and fixing the rest. - Walkazo 15:04, 13 November 2015 (EST)
