Category talk:Software

If a page is in its company's category, and that company is in Software Company category, and that category is in Software, should that page also be in Software Category

This is something that happens, and is in my opinion, a mess. My solution is to get rid of "software company" as a category. It should all go in Software to prevent circular categories. or diamond category trees. Plankton (talk) 20:18, 19 October 2025 (UTC)

Agreed. I see that you've already started tidying it up, and am happy for you to continue! Keith (talk) 20:23, 19 October 2025 (UTC)

god youre fast. Do you think "Software companies" should be removed from "software". it would tidy things up so much Plankton (talk) 20:24, 19 October 2025 (UTC)

Yeah. it feels like the products should be falling under software, and the companies should be separately sitting under software companies category. Can't think of anything which should be sitting under both (except maybe a one-product software company?)

Only fast cause I happened to be looking at the feed at the time lol. Keith (talk) 21:03, 19 October 2025 (UTC)

Also, Why is "Software Companies" in "Software" to begin with ? Shouldnt they be seperate ? Please someone give input on this. Plankton (talk) 20:23, 19 October 2025 (UTC)

@Plankton the categorization system in some places is a mess never fixed since around February. AnotherConsumerRightsPerson (talk) 05:43, 22 October 2025 (UTC)

It makes logical sense for a top-level category called "Software" to encompass all other topics and categoriesdirectly related to software. Software terminology, software companies, software types, etc. TheOneWhoKnocks (talk) 04:57, 21 February 2026 (UTC)
