- New Spain was a recognized political unit. Categories that intersect occupation and the recognized political unit where people are from are allowed. All the articles in this category are people who did defining artistic work while residents and subjects of mainland New Spain. This categorydpes not include anyone from either the West Indian or East Indian areas under New Spain. The size of People from New Spain is much larger than many other categories that have been subdivided more by occupation.John Pack Lambert (talk) 00:34, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
Anachronisms[edit]
I just came across an article that said someone was born in Austria-Hungary in 1750. He was actually born in the Holy Roman Empire, since Austria-Hungary was not formed until 1867. Considering that Austria-Hungary has also not existed for over a century, this listing of place of birth makes no sense at all.John Pack Lambert (talk) 15:22, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
Sort keys for FOOian occupations by former country[edit]
Can you try to remember to add sort keys when you make categories? I fixed Category:Civil servants by former country, which didn't have one for people by former country. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Category:Civil_servants_by_former_country&diff=1234949004&oldid=1232039423 However, I think that this is a general pattern. Can you also add the parent categories for the current counturies when you create these categories, such as adding German FOO for FOO from the Kingdom of Prussia? (I know that you don't love that's how categories are parented, but given that that's the current consensus, it would be very much appreciated, saving other people work) Mason (talk) 00:06, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
- I will keep this is mind. However why does Civil Servants by former country need a sort key that says Civil servants when it starts with Civil servants. Is that not just sorting it exactly as it would sort without a sort key?John Pack Lambert (talk) 10:58, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
- Maybe more to the point are we adding | Civil Servants, etc, so that the occupations will be all listed before any former country?John Pack Lambert (talk) 11:05, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
- (talk page watcher) Yes, the space is significant. Without that (and without any sort key at all) it would sort under C; with the space, it sorts at the top of the category page, before all symbols, numbers and letters. See WP:SORTKEY. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 17:10, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
- Wouldn't it be easier if we just created a Category:People by former country by occupation, and put all the various Musicians by former country, Artists by former country, Scientists by former country, writers by former country, etc. there instead of placing them directly in the People by former country category?John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:28, 17 July 2024 (UTC)

- For the record I support upmerging these. I think we should upmerge any establishment by year by place Category that does not have at least 5 articles. Categories that become isolated from close year categories by this we may want to consider upmerging as well.John Pack Lambert (talk) 02:10, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
