Imports of category names from enwiki

Are often very bad, because there is often the lowest systematics of categorization, and on top, often not in agreement with commons. Here I think a lot of people using the English version, and the category name should be understandable for everyone. Really bad cases are things like Template:2024TUC, any idea, what this can be? So here is human interaction much better than copy-paste by AI. If you can exclude from the bot-additions sport=badminton, it would be really helpful.

On Commons the category names, their cohesiveness is much more often more outdated, rarely monitored, and there are much much more duplicates comparing to enwp. Commons also get freely vandalised time to time which may be not fixed for years. Comparing to enwp, where all naming is tracked and based on consesensus and discussions. So I'm pretty sure that enwp titles should be main ones and commons should be put into aliases. And this is actually how we do things in 95% cases. I gave additional reasons here Talk:Q19370206 as well, but got no respond from you there.

I see absolutely no benefit from your reverts and custom titles - all these cases are personal sympathies without practical sense (where you also don't even put enwp article titles in the main elements themselves). And double-reverts to "badminto" like this one are beyond my comprehension at all.

Although I don't agree with your approach, I have excluded all corrections where the word badminton appears in the title

There's also simplewiki. When two or three have different names, at least their titles should be aliases I think.

I was planning to first move the actual titles from Enwiki, then after a week or more (when Qlever dumps are updated) add the differing aliases from Commons, and then after another week do the same with Simple wiki. And then duplicating with labels aliases will be cleaned out by other bots after a while, as it usually happens. This seems to me to be the most optimal way to do things.

There's also categories that were deleted at enwiki and still exist in commons or simplewiki.

I wasn't planning on doing anything with these
