Merger[edit]

Toponymy is the study of place names rather than place names themselves. Therefore I think these two categories should remain separate. Cf., for example, Category:Museology and Category:Museums. — Jonathan Bowen 11:59, 18 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Place names was merged here in 2024, see Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2024_January_18#Category:Place_names. – Fayenatic London 22:09, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
