Category Deletion

It seems plain to me that 'construction' is/was not the same as the 'building' category you created. I base this on reading your description of the building category on its own page, plus the normal usage of the term 'construction', both in the construction industry and by us diyers & professionals outside of it.

This might have something to do with why I created it, along with the number of articles on aspects of construction we now have.

Do you believe we as moderators should delete all instances of any cat we dont personally approve of? If so, there are several more due for deletion.

Do you believe it is our duty to prevent contributors starting new categories?

Do you believe a wiki only has room for one person's view of the best categories, and that that view is yours?

Do you believe a diy wiki specifically needs to avoid having a construction category?

I am not understanding your action in any constructive way. If you want to tag an article with 'building' then great, but to remove a core diy wiki category does not appear to me to be a constructive action in any respect.

As moderators we must be careful. What ends participation on most forums is the moderators. We need to let contributors create the articles & categories they believe are useful, and restrict our editing to removing or correcting misinformation, improving on article format and so on. Going round undoing valid work is not going to help any.
