I tried to add some structure to the Categories by using [[:category:Categories]] as a root category. The first set of subcategories was very loosely based on the Category groupings on our [[Main Page]]. I added [[:category:People]] and [[:category:Places]] as root subcategories.

I think the categories for [[:Category:Church Music|Church Music]] and [[:Category:Hymnography|Hymnography]] have some overlap, and it would be a good idea to define what each category is (perhaps merge, or have one be a subcategory of the other). —[[User:Magda|<b>magda</b>]] ([[User_talk:Magda|talk]]) 19:04, June 14, 2008 (UTC)
: [[:Category:Church Music]] is regarding the music itself, while [[:Category:Hymnography]] is regarding the text. Or so it seems to me. —[[User:ASDamick|<font size="3.5" color="green" face="Adobe Garamond Pro, Garamond, Georgia, Times New Roman">Fr.

::More specifically, should [[Sticheron]] and [[Agni Parthene]] be included in [[:Category:Hymnography]] and not [[:Category:Church Music]]? Also, I am confused as to why some things are included in [[:Category:Hymnography]]: [[Prayer of Saint Ephraim]], [[Great Litany]], [[Litany]], and [[Litany of Fervent Supplication]]. I think these would fit better in a [[:Category:Prayer]] (with other articles of that nature). Do we want to distinguish between hymns and prayers in this way? (Not that some cases couldn't be in both categories.) —[[User:Magda|<b>magda</b>]] ([[User_talk:Magda|talk]]) 20:26, June 14, 2008 (UTC)
::: [[Sticheron]] and [[Agni Parthene]] are both about the hymns themselves, mainly, and not so much about the music with which they're performed. So, yes. I would not include [[Prayer of Saint Ephraim]] in either category (is it ever sung?), but the litanies I would put in [[:Category:Hymnography]]. If we were to create a category for prayers, I'd think perhaps [[:Category:Prayers]] would be best. It's iffy, at best, though, and potentially could end up including anything remotely liturgical. —[[User:ASDamick|<font size="3.5" color="green" face="Adobe Garamond Pro, Garamond, Georgia, Times New Roman">Fr.

::::Thanks. I've made those changes, and created the [[:Category:Prayers]]—feel free to add further explanatory remarks, and see what the Romanian-language version has done with their category. —[[User:Magda|<b>magda</b>]] ([[User_talk:Magda|talk]]) 15:32, June 21, 2008 (UTC)
