I created these subcategories (and the corresponding Category:Tornadoes in *** by location subcategories) in an attempt to resolve the problem I identified here - that the categories as they stood are pretty much useless to anyone. There are two ways a reader might want to search for a particular tornado event - by date or by location. The present category structure makes it only possible to index by only one of these, but doesn't prescribe which one; in practice this means that some are indexed by date (in various incompatible and incomparable formats), some by location, and some just by the first letters of the article title; this confusion has resulted in many anomalies such as Tornado outbreak of April 14–16, 2011 appearing before Tornado outbreak of April 15–16, 1998. Just cleaning up the category sort keys would not be not sufficient to resolve these problems, because the problem is inherent in the too-limited category structure that was in place before I made these changes. The contents of Category:F3 tornadoes illustrate the mess very well. Colonies Chris ( talk) 09:33, 28 November 2018 (UTC)
the articles within the category are in no sensible order, then simply sort them into a sensible order rather tan creating a new category. -- BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 01:21, 30 November 2018 (UTC)
I'd like to summarise and hopefully reset this discussion. Here's what I've done with tornado categories, and why.
Hopefully, this has clarified what I've done and my reasons for doing it, and removed some of the misunderstandings about my actions and my intentions. Colonies Chris ( talk) 09:48, 3 December 2018 (UTC)
