Category talk:Hobbits

From Tolkien Gateway

I'm trying to put all the family members in one family category, and the categories of these families in the Hobbits category. Hence the ammount of changes I make. Furthermore I would like to put a family genealogy on the "<family name> family" page. --Bokkie 18:02, 6 Sep 2005 (EDT)

Does anyone have any objections to this kind of structure for the categories: Hobbits > Hobbit Families > Baggins Family > Bilbo Baggins?--fleela 13:37, 16 June 2007 (EDT)
Sounds good to me. However Category:Hobbits needs to have more than just Category:Hobbit Families in it so I vote for leaving all the of the Hobbits also listed in that category. This way a visitor can browse all Hobbits alphabetically or they can browse on a per-family name basis. --Hyarion 13:45, 16 June 2007 (EDT)
Oh yes! I'm going to go through all the individuals to make sure they are listed under Hobbits and their family name.--fleela 13:52, 16 June 2007 (EDT)

This leads me to another question- Should the females be listed under both their maiden and married surnames?--fleela 14:06, 16 June 2007 (EDT)

Good question, I don't think it is necessary to have two separate articles, one can just be a redirect. Though I'm not sure which should be the primary article, what do you think? --Hyarion 14:13, 16 June 2007 (EDT)
I think I would list them under the married name since they probably spent more of their lives with that name. Then I would add both the maiden name and married name categories to the article.--fleela 14:23, 16 June 2007 (EDT)
That sounds good to me. --Hyarion 14:25, 16 June 2007 (EDT)

I think most Hobbits are now categorized properly - Hobbits, Family Name, and Maiden/Married Name. Most married females' articles were titled under their maiden names so I added the married name categories to them.--fleela 18:03, 16 June 2007 (EDT)
