Category:Images for transfer

I can't quite figure out what this category is for. It's only parent category is Category:Russian Wikivoyage and it has no category description. -- Themightyquill (talk) 10:46, 28 January 2021 (UTC)

It is for collecting images to be transferred to the projects by bot. Certainly should not be deleted, even if it is sometimes empty.--Ymblanter (talk) 12:03, 28 January 2021 (UTC)

@Ymblanter: To any other projects? Then it shouldn't be in Category:Russian Wikivoyage, right? And it should be connected to the category tree in some better way. Or if it's for transferring image to Russian Wikivoyage, it should be renamed accordingly. - Themightyquill (talk) 15:32, 28 January 2021 (UTC)

They are almost exclusively for transfer to the Russian Wikivoyage. No, it should not be renamed, but if the majority insists we can make it hidden.--Ymblanter (talk) 16:02, 28 January 2021 (UTC)

At least one is from English Wikipedia, thus should probably be transferred back there. "Almost" is almost irrelevant for categories. If there may be other content a {{Cat see also}} is better. The category should probably be hidden, but there should probably be a visible template large enough that deleting admins cannot miss it. –LPfi (talk) 10:06, 11 February 2021 (UTC)

• If the files only should be transferred to Russian-language projects, then I think that the category should be renamed to something which contains the word Russian. By the way, the category may contain some files which have been deleted and then later undeleted after entering the public domain. See for example File:Ljubljana Dragon Bridge.jpg. --Stefan2 (talk) 20:39, 28 September 2021 (UTC)

  yes, category name should be more self-explaining. What about Category:Images for transfer (for Russian Wikipedia/Russian Wikivoyage)? Estopedist1 (talk) 18:56, 26 December 2021 (UTC)
