Category talk:British actors

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a category that by nature will have a very large number of articles and relatively few subcategories. To allow subcategories to appear on the first page of this category, use a '*' at the beginning of the sort key. See Help:Category#Order of the lists; setting sort keys for more information.

[edit] Two suggestions

• we don't place actors in this category, but instead use the English, Welsh, Scottish and Northern Irish subcategories — its more informative and stops this category becoming too large (though this won't help the oversized English subcategory).
• Actors in the Asian British and Black British subcats should usually also be placed in a 'country' subcat (as being Asian British doesn't stop you being Welsh).

Per consensus at Category talk:Actors#Categorization of professions by nationality, British actors should continue to be listed in this category, as well as in the appropriate by country and by medium categories. --Lini 03:21, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

That "consensus" was obtained in a rush and goes against the much wider consensus on how to do categorisation. It has been disputed in various places and I regard it as void. Chicheley 09:45, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
