I'm sure this is a can of worms, but I hereby propose that the categories category:Mongol and category:Mongolian be merged into one category called Mongol.

Sure, no reason to have both. Go for it. :)

I'd been thinking about this for a while, so I decided to do some research on it. I found that the words have slightly different meanings ("Mongolian" refers to a native of Mongolia, whereas "Mongol" refers to a member of a particular ethnic group that's spread across several countries), but I agree that there's not much of a point to having both categories. "Mongol," since it's more comprehensive and more representative of the people over whom Genghis Khan ruled, is probably the better choice.

I'm sure glad you are in agreement, since I already started the project, hehe.

We discussed this in 2012: http://civilization.wikia.com/wiki/Forum:Nations_-_articles#Mongols
"Mongol" covers both nicely.
