Legacy category names

Although the general 'used' names for legacy related categories is with a space. -> "(Category:)Legacy <category name>" vs "(Category:)Legacy:<category name>"

The two exceptions here are:

• Legacy:Bar of Common Metal
• Legacy:Bar of Hard Metal

These are set in the "Infobox legmetaobj" template, and rely on the "legacy-specific" parameter input.

Changing the "legacy-specific" parameter input from "Legacy:<category name>" to "Legacy <category name>" would most likely break related stuff down the line.

Changing all "Legacy <category name>" to "Legacy:<category name>" on the other hand is not a minor job.

Although most related categories can be changes inside "Infobox legmetaobj" template.

But:

• The potential side effects down the line are unclear at this moment.
• Also unclear is which categories would need to be changes somewhere else. (some reside in the main subject pages themself)

Than there are also potential name clashes. Like for example: "(Category:)Legacy Equipment" vs Page:"(MAIN:)Legacy:Equipment".

This should not have any effect on the category content itself. But might play a role at a deeper level.

Overall current decision:

• Leaving it as it for now. --Mvg bot (talk) 11:48, 2 January 2026 (UTC)
