  • Propose renaming Category:Scholars by religion to Category:Religious scholars by topic
Nominator's rationale: rename to align with parent Category:Religious scholars and sibling Category:Religious scholars by nationality. This is not a speedy rename because I changed the parent from Category:Scholars to Category:Religious scholars myself a few days ago. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:09, 16 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Propose renaming Category:Middle East respiratory syndrome to Category:MERS
