Divisions

These should be divided by prefecture, of which there are 47. See Prefectures of Japan. Kappa 12:30, 11 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

If they split up evenly, that would give a little over 80 articles per subcategory. However, there might be some prefectures that are underrepresented as they almost certainly don't split evenly. I'd really like to see some counts. Caerwine 09:26, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I think they should be split by region. It might take more time to categorize, but it'll alleviate the "small number of articles" worry. Anyone unfamiliar with the regions could use the current template and let someone else sort them. If hard work isn't your thing, then I'l just go for the prefecture, since it is almost always mentioned in the article or title.

I would also go for prefecture because of the ambiguity of some prefectures' locations (ie: Niigata Prefecture)

Subcat ordering

Is there any objection to adding a space to the beginning of each sorted subcat name? For example, the Category:Yamanashi geography stubs would be edited so that instead of [[Category:Japan geography stubs]], it would be [[Category:Japan geography stubs| Yamanashi]] that puts it into this category, sorted as " Y...". Then, instead of having to page through five or six pages of unsorted stubs, all of the prefectural splits would show up on the first page. The only drawback is that all of the subcats would be listed under "<space>", with no divisions. -- Neier 23:41, 27 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
