Because I think when you’re able to identify basic stitches (sc, ch, dc, sl st, tr) and you’re able to do them from memory, you’re not really a beginner anymore but not intermediate either. And how do you know when you’re intermediate or even advanced crocheters ?
Is there some kind of rules I dont know about ?

I would say that being able to identify those stitch names and do them would be intermediate or advanced beginner. To be advanced I feel like you should also know what shapes the stitches make when put together or how to make a certain shape and what stitches to use when. These are just my thoughts though.

I didn’t think about it but that make sense indeed

I’d say basic is being able to follow a basic pattern with the stitches you mentioned. Intermediate is slightly more advanced, maybe colour changes and slightly more fiddly designs I’d say advanced is when you understand it enough to be writing your own designs. Just my opinion

There are so many different conventions depending on what country you are in it would be difficult to set specific “rules” or even skill level definitions for all of us

I usually see Yarn Council often referenced for standards and here’s their breakdown (almost exactly what @anon5108995 posted)

It’s a website, it’s also where most designers get “standard sizes”
(One example)

If you can crochet something you saw without a pattern guiding you you’re more advanced cause you can recognize advanced beginner stitches

Color change can be super tricky though, I saw tapestry that looked like a painting, but that another type of crochet category I guess
