Dear Jeff, I need help[edit]
Hello Jeff! I have been active on Wikipedia Commons for several years. My activity mainly revolves around Category:Noble families of Poland and concerns taking care of the aesthetics of this category, appropriately placing files in subcategories, etc. Before I started dealing with this category, many names were written in a random form, so for aesthetic reasons I chose the form "XYZ family" in the category naming (example: Category:Ankwicz family).
After some time, I realized that it was my mistake and I shouldn't have named these categories that way. People notoriously confuse families of noble descent with regular families with the same surname and mix up files related to the different types of families with the same surname.
Since changing these categories manually will take me a lot of time, I am writing here to ask you for help. Do you know how I can change the category name from the form "XYZ family" to the form "House of XYZ" (example: Category:Ankwicz family reduced to Category:House of Ankwicz)?
Category:Noble families of Russia has been using the "House of XYZ" provisions for a long time and in my opinion this is the best possible option to achieve order and aesthetics.
Thank you for understanding and for help! Heroldicas Heroldicas (talk) 18:33, 21 February 2024 (UTC)

I'm going to be traveling[edit]
I'm headed to Barcelona in a few hours, and will be there the next 5 weeks. During that time I'll probably be on here a lot less, and mostly to upload photos. Figured I'd give you a heads-up, because you are on most of the boards I'm on here, and if anyone is looking for me & I'm not around you can explain on my behalf. - Jmabel ! talk 17:58, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
