I repopulated this after the CFD, using selected sub-cats from Crosses by form and Crosses by function. The current contents are:

Celtic crosses (7 P)
Crucifixes (6 P)
Crux gemmata (13 P)
Memorial crosses‎ (7 P)
Monumental crosses‎ (1 C, 24 P)
Processional crosses (7 P)
Reliquary crosses (7 P)
Wayside crosses (6 P)
Direct members not included above: Cloisters Cross, Coesfeld Cross, Cruz de la Parra, Great Cross of Hendaye, San Damiano cross.

I'd be interested to see if this can be improved upon. – Fayenatic London 11:06, 10 June 2016 (UTC)Reply

Thanks, I've added various things to various categories - "Stone" is still not fully inclusive I think, and of course is hardly a "form", but a material (not that I want to encourage more categories here). "Monumental" here seems to really mean "colossal" - "Monumental" in normal usage would normally cover anything above say 4 foot high. I doubt "memorial" is full - some of the "Monumental" have a memorial function. But it much better than it was formerly. Thanks again! Johnbod (talk) 12:34, 10 June 2016 (UTC)Reply
