Please use this page to discuss opinions regarding the categorization of Chinese martial arts.

Category:Chinese martial art styles didn't quite work out the way I thought it would so Category:Chinese martial arts is now used as listing of styles instead, and Category:Chinese martial art styles has been left to oblivion for the time being. I have instead made an experiment of creating a Category:Chinese martial arts terms as an evolvement of Category:Martial arts terms. Will be interesting to see how it works out.

As Chinese martial arts have many unique styles and weapons I really like the idea of having a separate Category:Chinese martial arts. So far I came up with two subcategories that I consider useful, namely Category:Chinese martial art styles and Category:Chinese weapons. The reason I made those two subcategories are because I know they will eventuelly cover a lot of articles, so we don't need to mess up Category:Chinese martial arts with complete lists of styles and weapons. A great thing about categories is that we can move all "List of" articles into categories, such as moving all styles from List of Chinese martial arts into Category:Chinese martial art styles. Future additions could be additional subcategories in Category:Chinese martial art styles that divide the styles into "internal" and "external". I have been a bit lazy and not added many articles to the categories yet, I'll do that later when I have more time. If you don't like this categorization idea please tell your opinions in this matter. If you like the idea, feel free to start adding articles to these categories, or you can add additional subcategories that you feel are necessary.
