Hi, Ericliu1912, and welcome! I don't understand why you are editing Wikivoyage category pages. Please explain.

All the best,

@Ikan Kekek: It seems that those two categories were duplicate ones (both were about Wikivoyage files), so I choose one to redirect. —— Eric Liu_{（留言．百科用戶頁）} 06:21, 30 October 2023 (UTC)

We normally don't manually edit categories on this site. Have a look at Wikivoyage:Categories. Take particular note of the "Usage of categories" section:

Currently, the only approved uses of categories are for Project purposes, i.e. for helping out with articles that need attention or getting informed about current policies. These categories are set automatically within the templates, not manually by users.

Currently all categories are hidden categories. To see them, change your Preferences (Appearance) to show hidden categories.

Yes, so one of the two categories' usage should be ceased altogether. —— Eric Liu_{（留言．百科用戶頁）} 06:26, 30 October 2023 (UTC)

We don't manually edit them. Are they doing anything that's causing a problem? Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:48, 30 October 2023 (UTC)

I mean that it is totally possible to edit the templates to get rid of that duplication. Personally, I think that there were no need to keep two identical categories for files administration on the site. —— Eric Liu_{（留言．百科用戶頁）} 06:55, 30 October 2023 (UTC)

I suggest we continue this discussion on the template's talk page. Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:29, 30 October 2023 (UTC)

See Category talk:Media files. My position is that categories should be left well enough alone. I could be wrong, but in that case, there should have been a discussion leading to a consensus before any manual editing of a category should have been done. Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:33, 30 October 2023 (UTC)
