need to combine 2 miltary categories

Question

We have the page for an unused [[Category: Tyrone's Rebellion]] currently managed by the Scottish Clans Project under the watch of the Scotland Project. https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:Tyrone%27s_Rebellion

which duplicates the category [[Category: Nine Years' War (Ireland)]] managed by the Military and War Project in association with the Categorization Project https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:Nine_Years%27_War_%28Ireland%29

They refer to the same period of rebellion by Irish/Catholic forces against the English Crown - it is an either/or situation, both names for this conflict is used with equal frequency. This conflict follows on the heals of the First and Second Desmond Rebellions so keeping the name "Tyrone's Rebellion" is appropriate, however in many histories it is well known as "The Nine Years' War" and needs the extra (Ireland) added to distinguish it from the later Nine Years War in Europe.

Can the two categories be combined as

[[Category: Tyrone's Rebellion, Nine Years' War (Ireland)]]

under Irish Military History please?

Answer 1

The name for this war as shown in [[Category: War]] is Category: Nine Years' War (Ireland), and that is where all the profiles are linked to.  We are not going to create a category with all the variant names it goes by.  The category will be the primary name, alternates are shown on the category page, which this one mentions Tyrone's Rebellion.

​Info has been merged, and [[Category: Tyrone's Rebellion]] has been deleted.
