Can somebody tell me how this cat is categorized? Because cyberwarfare is not per se esnionage as there exits also destructiv cyberwarfare technology. Sanandros (talk) 19:19, 18 April 2018 (UTC)
- It was originally just Category:Computer security and Category:Warfare by type. Everything else was added in this edit. Given that so many categories were added at once and that some of the added categories are red links, I would guess they were copied from somewhere else. Probably English Wikipedia: w:en:Cyberwarfare and/or w:en:Category:Cyberwarfare. (To back that up, the red-linked category Category:Battles and conflicts without fatalities is present on w:en:Category:Cyberwarfare and the similarly red-linked categories Category:Mass intelligence-gathering systems and Category:Military intelligence collection are present on w:en:Cyberwarfare.) So, probably just a copy-and-paste job. - AdamBMorgan (talk) 20:41, 18 April 2018 (UTC)
- Agreed. This category has, for instance, no place being a sub-category of Category:Spyware. AdamBMorgan What do you think would be appropriate parents? Category:Information security, Category:Warfare of the Modern era- Themightyquill (talk) 13:36, 19 April 2018 (UTC)
- So I'd like to oriantate on the de wep de:Cyberkrieg as usually in de wp the categorization is done with more care as on en wp. But in this case I'm also not so much agreeing with the de wp categorization. So I'd suggest Category:Warfare by type and Category:Internet. But I think we have currently here also a lot of overcat but unfortunately I can't create a tree with vcat right now.--Sanandros (talk) 19:27, 19 April 2018 (UTC)
- I agree with the suggested four categories (Category:Information security, Category:Internet, Category:Warfare of the Modern era & Category:Warfare by type) and would lose the rest. There's still a little overlap even with those four but they cover different areas. - AdamBMorgan (talk) 21:12, 19 April 2018 (UTC)
