{{flag}} @Pi zero: Should be move the category to "Category:Sir Alex Ferguson" or "Category:Sir Alexander Chapman Ferguson"? So, the next question is, if we have a category for a doctorate holder, should me mention "Dr" in the page name? After all, we have Category:Queen Elizabeth II.

The fact that people's titles can change is a good reason not to include them in their category names, and there are very, very few cases where we do include it. Although we do use it for Category:Queen Elizabeth II, we don't for comparable cases such as Category:Abdullah II of Jordan, who is a king. We've included "Pope" in the names of Popes, probably as a practical concession to keep their names long enough to be unique, but is there a similar way we could avoid the title in those cases too? Elizabeth's category could be Category:Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom, or something like that. We can make the person's title appear on the category page using parameter {{{pipe}}} for {{topic cat}}. --Pi zero (talk) 21:17, 11 November 2017 (UTC)Reply
