Merging with Category:Hydroelectricity by country[edit]

There are two country based catagories in regards to hydro-electricity:

Hydroelectricity by country (this one) and

Hydroelectric power stations by country

imho this is far from ideal. I ran into this in an actual situation where I was looking for information about a hydroelectricity dam in Iceland so I started looking in Category:Hydroelectricity by country thus (here) and couldn't find it. Continued searching and did find this catagory (Hydroelectric power stations by country) and I don't see a reason why you would like to have those two catagories next to eachother: it only introduces the risk that something is listed in one cat and not in the other one. So mayme we should merge these two cats.

But as I'm not involved actively in this subject there might be a good reason to have to cats ? (other then that it "just happened over time"). I will try to get inform some people who are active in this subject to see if they (also) think these two cats should be merged. If that call is made I'm happy to help in the actual merging: but we would need consensus with members of the WikiProject Energy team. Tonkie (talk) 19:02, 20 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
