in a small way, Misnamed Categories is the list.
The group responsible for the category structure is making the changes required, both from the overall categorization perspective and from the individual projects involved.
Yes, if some member goes out and creates a category on their own, based on their understanding of what something could be, it might be almost right, but not quite there by the standards.... singular vs plural, wrong capitalization, wrong language, etc, and either they see the mistake and fix it, or someone else does it for them. The result is a misnamed category that in the past, sits out here forever.
When someone adds to a category, if it exists, it shows in black on the profile, if not, it shows red. A category that is not there, after checking for bad spelling, punctuation, etc can also be created until it gets to the point that it is linked to an existing one in the tree.
A misnamed category exists, so it shows in black. Since it was the name expected, and is there, most people will not actually go to that category to read about it. in some cases, going to the category shows that it is misnamed. Since the process is manual, you have to go back to the profile and change it to the correct one.
What we have now with the new, approved, category naming/structure is updating thousands of profiles due to standards being changed or enforced. Some simple, like do not use abbreviations, so all of the USA XXXX categories have to change to United States of America, or should be specific to general, so World War II, United States Army, 1st Infantry Division (general to specific) gets renamed 1st Infantry Division, United States Army, World War II.
The topic for this thread is thanking a "member" for the amount of work being done by them. I imagine that was generated by him looking at his feed and seeing a lot of changes being made to his profiles by the same account. Since we are supposed to be a global collaboration, he thought it would be nice to thank that person. I pointed out that in this case, the "person" was an automated routine and that he should thank the person who created and is running that routine.
Further discussion of why things are being changed should be taken to another thread, not that i look forward to seeing the same issues, which have already been discussed and decided, rehashed yet again either by people who took an opposing view the first couple times and still oppose them, or from new people who were not here when the discussions, decisions and standards were finally agreed upon.
