Is Lists of Olympic competitors really a list of lists?

edit

Hi, thank you for adding {{list of lists}} to List of Olympic competitors. This got me to thinking, is it really a list of lists, or is it just one multi-part list?

I'm leaning list-of-lists (agreeing with you) right now, so I added it to List of lists of lists#Sports. The one thing is I think that if the main page is pluralized that means all the sub-pages should be plural as well to match. Maybe a compromise could be to leave {{list of lists}} template / category, but move the page back to singular so all of them match? Curious for your thoughts. --Habst (talk) 00:46, 24 September 2025 (UTC)Reply

The article itself contains links to lots of lists, so it seems OK to think of it as a list of lists. Since the article contains multiple lists, the article name should be Lists .... Each individual list "under" that is a single list, so should really remain as List ...GhostInTheMachine talk to me 08:29, 26 September 2025 (UTC)Reply

The Oldest View - Categories

edit

Hi. I noticed that you've been assisting in placing categories for The Oldest View. Do you want me to follow the same structure as Parsons' Backrooms series or just leave it as it is?

Don't over-think it. The categories are rather subjective. Is it SciFi or horror or both or something else? — GhostInTheMachine talk to me 07:25, 4 October 2025 (UTC)Reply
