{{{icon|[[File:Information.svg|25px|alt=Information icon]]}}} Hi, and thank you for [[Special:Contributions/{{<includeonly>safesubst:</includeonly>BASEPAGENAME}}|your contributions]] to Wikipedia. I noticed you removed {{<includeonly>safesubst:</includeonly>#if:{{{1|}}}|[[:{{{1|}}}]]|a page}} from {{<includeonly>safesubst:</includeonly>#if:{{{to|}}}|[[:{{{to|}}}]]|a parent category}} that is also included in {{<includeonly>safesubst:</includeonly>#if:{{{to|}}}|[[:{{{to|}}}]]}} a non-diffusing subcategory. It's important to understand that non-diffusing subcategories are designed to coexist with their [[WP:PARENTCAT|parent categories]], not replace them.

Non-diffusing subcategories, such as those defined by [[WP:EGRS|ethnicity, gender, religion, sexuality, and disability]], are intended to highlight specific [[WP:PEOPLECAT|characteristics of people]] without removing the broader context. For example, removing women from [[:Category:British novelists]] when they're in [[:Category:British women novelists]] would leave only male novelists in the main category, misrepresenting British literature.
Key points to remember:

* Subcategories defined by [[WP:EGRS|ethnicity, gender, religion, sexuality, and disability]] should almost always be non-diffusing.
* Non-diffusing subcategories highlight specific characteristics without removing the broader context.
* Removing items from the parent category can result in incomplete representation and distort the visibility of diverse contributions.

The [[WP:PEOPLECAT|Categorizing articles about people]] guideline explains that non-diffusing subcategories, like [[:Category:British women novelists]], should not fully isolate their members from the parent category.
For more detailed information on this topic, please refer to the following guidelines:

* [[WP:EGRS|Ethnicity, gender, religion, sexuality guidelines]]
* [[WP:PEOPLECAT|Categorizing articles about people]]
