Canonical Category structure?

I see that Category:Non-Compatible PCs mostly contains sub-categories for manufacturers: Category:Apple Computers, Category:Atari Computers, Category:Commodore Computers. Did we want to set up a Category:Tandy Computers, and put Category:Tandy TRS-80 (or perhaps rename it to plain, simple Category:TRS-80) in that? I know Tandy did call most of their computers some form of 'TRS-80 xxx', but there were a few outliers, such as the Tandy 1000. Jnc (talk) 13:29, 20 May 2023 (CEST)

I did set up a Category:Tandy TRS-80 Computers under Category:Non-Compatible PCs. The reason why I want to call it "Tandy TRS-80" instead of simply "TRS-80" is that the Tandys are not an outlier they are a marketing era change if you will. All Radio Shack computers after around 1984-85 became Tandys. The Model 2000 was the only one to be called "Tandy TRS-80" and everything after that was simply "Tandy" For example in addition to the 1000 also the 102, 200, 6000 and CoCO 3. I made changed the name to add the word Computers to stay with canon. I also apologize for any little mistakes I make since I am learning that MediaWiki is much different than HTML. I know that I can use HTML in some cases, but I would like to stay with normal conventions and learn a new skill. Rayrayemu (talk)
