Category:HERC2 is both parent and child of Category:Blue human eyes, but should only be parent or child. Josh (talk) 20:12, 25 September 2023 (UTC)

Comment Should be neither, IMO. A photo of a person with blue eyes isn't an image of HERC2, and a diagram of a protein structure isn't an image of blue eyes. Not every "related to" relationship needs to be represented in the Commons category hierarchy; that's what Wikidata is for. Omphalographer (talk) 20:18, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
- @Omphalographer: Makes sense to me, and I agree that parent/child categorization should be used to reflect every kind of conceivable relationship. There are some topics where people have seemingly tried to reflect everything known about a given subject in its categorization and I don't think it is a good approach.

- Surely you mean "should not be used"? But yes. Omphalographer (talk) 01:25, 27 September 2023 (UTC)
