Silent films category
Hello! I'm sorry, I have some question: we have at least eleven (maybe more) pages about silent movies:
http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/And_Quiet_...hiy_Don)_(1930) http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Shoulder_Arms http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/The_Gold_Rush http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/City_Lights http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Great_Trai...ery,_The_(1903) http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Wings http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Four_Sons http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/New_Babylon,_The http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Verdun:_Visions_of_History http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Storm_Over..._Chingis-Khana) http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/That_Night's_Wife Maybe, it's useful, to create category for silent films? |

I've said it before, I think we have too many categories as is.

Some of us don't mind sorting through them. Besides, as a wiki project, users can usually add the right ones to a film eventually, or put up some sort of flag in the database that says "needs categorization," similar to the "Incomplete" template or "Under Construction" template.

I agree with fcm personally. There's 270-odd categories as it is.. Do we really need another one for just a dozen or so movies? Granted if you eliminate specific countries and directors and what have you that might get chopped in half, even then, that's quite a lot of genres and qualities and other identifiers to catalogue a film with.. I'm sure most if not all of these silent films fit one or more of them. Hell I'm personally not sure we need a Black & White category, but at least there's a considerable number of films there (almost 500 it seems). A category for a dozen or so movies just seems superfluous. If fact I wonder if we should set a minimum film number requirement for categories and start clearing some of the more sparse ones out. Some of them - particularly with certain directors - only have something like three or four films, which again, just seems superfluous unless we're talking about a considerably well-known/renowned director who just hasn't done a lot of films with firearms in them or something.
Just my thoughts, of course. Bah.

There are only so many silent films, and only some of those feature visible firearms. Since that film genre has been largely abandoned, it isn't likely going to be an overly large category on the wiki.
