Name of Badge

[edit]

This badge/ category refers to Roma, but the link embedded in the badge jumps to Roma (subgroup). The term 'Roma' is often (erroneously) used to refer to Romani people as a whole, of which there are many subgroups besides Roma. So my questions are: is this badge reserved only for Wikipedians of specifically Roma (subgroup) descent, or is this merely an oversight of correct link page? If it is the latter I move that the name of the badge and category be changed to Romani, as not all Romani are Roma (in the same way that not all Hispanics are Colombian).

It's been a week to no reply. I believe this badge was meant to include all Romani peoples, so I'm going to make a judgement call and make the necessary changes. Xamechoka 18:39, 17 March 2013 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Xamechoka (talkcontribs)
