==Some help with a bad category name I have created please==

I have created a sub-category called "London's infrastructure" in the London category and moved several articles to it, but none of them are showing up. I think this might be because of the apostrophe as I also created a category called "Women's cricket" and the article I wrote and put in it called "Women's test cricket" isn't showing up either.

Is there an overall ban on using apostrophes in page and/or category names?

I marked "London's infrastructure" as a category for deletion amendment as a means of requesting that an administrator change it to "Infrastructure of London" or similar, but after a couple of hours it hasn't shown up on the list? Do I just need to wait longer, or is it part of the same problem?[[User:Pcpcpc|Philip]] 16:22, 29 Dec 2004 (UTC)

: Apostrophes are perfectly legal in category names (cf [[:Category:London's West End]]). I'm not sure why [[Women's test cricket]] isn't showing up in [[:Category:Women's cricket]], though.

: The CFD issue might be because while you added the necessary <nowiki>{{cfd}}</nowiki> template to the category, you forgot to list the category at [[WP:CFD]] (which is maintained by hand). Adding <nowiki>{{cfd}}</nowiki> doesn't automatically add your page to WP:CFD. --[[User:Diberri|David Iberri]] | [[User talk:Diberri|Talk]] 20:00, Dec 29, 2004 (UTC)
