Category:Thames Clippers[edit]

Not sure what to do with this. "Thames Clippers" (river transport on the Thames in London) has been rebranded "Uber Boat" (in full, apparently "Uber Boat by Thames Clippers", though the prominent branding on the side of the new boats is just "Uber Boat"). Presently we have Category:Thames Clippers with subcategory Category:Uber Boat, the former containing many pictures of vessels without "Uber Boat" branding, and the latter containing some photos of vessels with "Uber Boat" branding. Should photos prior to the "Uber" rebranding go in a different category from the rebranded photos, or should they all be put together under one category, e.g. "Thames Clippers / Uber Boat"?

Incidentally, the TOC on this page appears within a pale blue box headed "This discussion of one or several categories is now closed. Please do not make any edits to this archive." Something has gone wrong here: the TOC should be outside the box. ITookSomePhotos (talk) 22:00, 30 July 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Another thing that has gone wrong. I have made a couple of edits to this post, but these are not showing up at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Categories_for_discussion/2023/07. When I go into edit mode they show up, but not otherwise. I hope this isn't another instance of the ridiculous "purge cache" nonsense. ITookSomePhotos (talk) 22:41, 30 July 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Put Category:Thames Clippers as a subcategory within Category:Uber Boat. Any more recent Uber-branded photos go in the Uber category, and the old TC-branded photos stay where they are. Make sense? Cnbrb (talk) 10:07, 31 July 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
It seems to me that "Thames Clippers" has a larger scope than "Uber Boat", the latter being just one of several brandings over time of the former. Does it make sense to make the larger-scope brand a subcategory of the smaller-scope one? ITookSomePhotos (talk) 17:00, 1 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
