I believe we discussed a zillion of times that categories
"Foo country in april 2023"
"Foo country photographs taken on 2048-13-64" should not be further split in subcategories. User
Sahaib
apparently was unaware of this, and started mass-moving, which I found because they moved my file
File:Perth Municipal Buildings seen from Tay Street.jpg
, I reverted them and tried to explain, first in edit summaries, and then at their talk page, see
User talk:Sahaib#May 2024
, that no consensus that it is ok to split the categories, exists, and it is up to them to either find one of many discussions or ask a question at the Village Pump. They were not interested in listening and continued edit-warring. (Note that I uploaded about 30 files taken in Scotland on that day, and several hundreds taken in Scotland that week, but they have only been edit-warring moving one of them). Something needs to be done about this.

I have been a very active contributor to Wikicommons for almost 4 years with almost 200,000 edits and so would not like to be blocked. I disagree with Ymblanter and I feel I discussed it rationality on my

- Actially German photographs per day are often recategorized per Bundesland. I have not practiced it myself, but I will not protest, when I see categories "Saxony photographs taken on ..."

- See also
Commons:Village pump#Category diffusion, again
. I uploaded plenty of German photographs myself, and, indeed, I have seen them recategorized two times by two different users. I went to their talk pages, and one was receptive and another one was not, but indeed the argument both times was that they have seen existing categories per Bundesland and wanted to diffuse more categories in this way. Since there are people willing to diffuse categories and nobody wants to categorized the photos back to country categories, we naturally get more and more category diffusion even though there is no consensus to do this.

It's useless to sanction Sahaib while we continue to tolerate that people like
J.-H. Janßen
every single day create something like "
Category:Neukloster photographs taken on 2023-06-28
". Definitely we need a centralized discussion on this and/or a Request for comment. Only with a clear consensus we can delete all the mess and prohibit to create it in future. Regards --

- Yes, this makes sense (though reverting my edits - in the file I uploaded - four times was clearly over the top). I will prepare such an RfC, just discussion on village pumps tend to attract only a handful of people, which then is a weak representation of consensus.

- @
Ymblanter
:
{{Taken on}}
documentation says that location should contain the country. So I would affirm this in an rfc that the lowest category allowed is "<country> photographs taken on "single day". So splitting that further up by parts of country or smaller unit than day is not allowed. When (if) we get consensus for this, it should be easy with some bots to move the files up the tree.
