1 member in this category, whose purpose I cannot discern and whose name seems like poor English to me. Note: "dismissal" is in Module:labels/data and should be removed from there if this fails. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 04:16, 31 March 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks, suzukaze. Accordingly moved to RFM with both cats listed; I now see what the intent is, but I still think the name is bad. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 04:24, 31 March 2019 (UTC)
- I think it fits in the same idea as Category:en:Greetings, but with a different naming scheme. "Greetings" should probably not be a set category, because sets group words by semantics (i.e. what the words refer to), rather than by function. —Rua (mew) 21:16, 7 April 2019 (UTC)

- Add Category:Punjabi dismissals. Module:labels/data specifies that [[Category:<Language name> dismissals]] be added whenever the context label "dismissal" is used, but nothing has been added for this in the relevant category data module. This apparently predates Module:labels/data, since it was migrated in with all the other usage labels in August, 2013. We should either do something with these categories or get rid of the categorization in Module:labels/data- it's silly to have things showing up in Category:Categories with invalid label just because someone added a context label.

Done: Theknightwho has created Module:category tree/poscatboiler/data/speech acts, which includes dismissals. — excarnateSojourner (ta·co) 05:54, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
- With no comments in four years I am closing this rename proposal as no consensus. — excarnateSojourner (ta·co) 05:54, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
