== Category self QD ==

Hi. Do categories that are monthly based (like complex of a certain month and year) automatically self nominate for QD C1 when they are empty?

:@[[User:PotsdamLamb|PotsdamLamb]]: They do, but they don't always show up in the QD category. I think the QD isn't recognized because nothing has actually edited the category. Eventually they might appear in the category on their own, I'm not sure. -- [[User:Auntof6|Auntof6]] ([[User talk:Auntof6#top|talk]]) 01:21, 19 February 2024 (UTC)

== Category Question ==

Since you know the most, this was one in which I removed the display title. I did not move it or anything. I’m not quite sure if anything needs to be done but I consider you the expert on categories. I know this entity does more than just animation. Some of the names on the list are not in the show as just animated like Michael Jordon as animated. He’s both, as is Lebron James (both for Space Jam). 

[[:Category:Warner Bros. character redirects to lists]]

The default title was Category:Warner Bros. animated character redirects to lists

Please let me know if you want me to take any action on this. Thanks - [[User:PotsdamLamb|PDL]]<sup>[[User Talk:PotsdamLamb|Talk to me!]]</sup><sub>[[Special:Contributions/PotsdamLamb|Please don't eat da 🐑!]]</sub> 17:05, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
== Layout question ==

On an article when a HarvB or sfn is used, it will show up in the references section. I also need to put in the book it is being pulled from. On this article [[Bill of Rights 1689]], for the moment, I put them under the references section as well. How should this be (it does not seem appealing to my eye right now based on they way they are set out. Do you think I should just covert to cite books (it's only 2 books and 3 cites to them)?

:::@[[User:PotsdamLamb|PotsdamLamb]]: [[:en:Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Layout#Notes_and_references]] also suggests a section called "Works cited", but that might not work here because not everything shown in the article is cited.

::::So looks like when I run into that I need to make the notes section and reorganize what they put down as refs and put the books in the reference section. That would work for me. I don’t think it takes too much. It pretty much will keep us in line with them and simple.

== Depreciated title ==

Hi. I went through and removed DISPLAYTITLE from all article spaces. Now, everything left in [[:Category:Pages with ignored display titles]] are user pages. I do not want to touch those pages, but a great majority are not active and have not been for some time. I was wondering if you wanted to take any action on those so that the cat can get cleared out and down to zero. I’ve been able to clear out a few other cats that are error based and I’m working on the lacks free doi one (takes a bit but getting there). I’ve also been working on the Harv errors as well since I studied them on my “vacation”. Thanks - [[User:PotsdamLamb|PDL]]<sup>[[User Talk:PotsdamLamb|Talk to me!]]</sup><sub>[[Special:Contributions/PotsdamLamb|Please don't eat da 🐑!]]</sub> 12:18, 21 February 2024 (UTC)

:@[[User:PotsdamLamb|PotsdamLamb]]: Would you explain why you removed DISPLAYTITLE? As far as I know, it is still needed for some articles (and I see it's still on one where it's needed). I also see one where you removed it, [[Aelfric of Eynsham]], where you could have renamed the page to accomplish what the DISPLAYTITLE was trying to do.
:By the way, the word is "deprecated," not "depreciated".
:When cleaning out this kind of category, please be thoughtful about what you're doing. Sometimes a thing that is flagged as an error doesn't mean it actually ''is'' an error or needs any action. Sometimes it needs action other than just removing the thing that's being flagged. -- [[User:Auntof6|Auntof6]] ([[User talk:Auntof6#top|talk]]) 13:47, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
::It comes back as ignored (my phone autocorrects so apologies for that). If the display title is ignored then it is useless. I looked at the article you mentioned. There is no difference on the title displayed when I look at the previous version vs the version where it is removed. The only difference is prior to the removal that version shows it on the hidden category of display title ignored. Thanks - [[User:PotsdamLamb|PDL]]<sup>[[User Talk:PotsdamLamb|Talk to me!]]</sup><sub>[[Special:Contributions/PotsdamLamb|Please don't eat da 🐑!]]</sub> 13:53, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
:::@[[User:PotsdamLamb|PotsdamLamb]]: It's true that an ignored DISPLAYTITLE is useless. However, that one was trying to display the name with the correct "Æ" character. That didn't work because it didn't match the title, so it was ignored. However, if you think about what it was trying to do, that shows that the article needs to be renamed. Removing the DISPLAYTITLE without fixing that doesn't address the issue.

::::But moving the page to a name not using standard keys on a keyboard will affect the search for it, will it not? I do not know how to search for that. I would need to copy and paste it or find the alt number to type it in. It could also be a restricted character through the software as well per the template documents on en wiki. I can go through them and try a page redirect based on what was trying to be accomplished with the display title and see what happens.

== Category reporting error ==

Hi. So on [[:Category:BLPs needing more sources]] it shows on the right 118 articles needing more sources. When you scroll down just under the 98 subcategories heading it states there are 335 pages needed sources. There are none that are marked with no date (I’ve fixed those based on history). Do you know how to figure out where that number is coming from? For some reason I tend to believe the 335 number is correct based on our articles. And I just looked again. Some articles are dated back to 2012. Should I go through and update them to see if they are current and if not refresh the tag? I would need a list (probably a search somehow of those prior to the first maintenance cat we have for this?).

:@[[User:PotsdamLamb|PotsdamLamb]]: I don't know. I never trust the numbers in the sidebars on the right, and I don't know how they're derived. Enwiki's numbers don't look like they match, either, although theirs seem closer.

:*The date isn't always specified. I found at least one that doesn't have one.
:*There may be more templates assigning these categories than the two listed; maybe those transclusions aren't included in the totals in the sidebar. However, I couldn't find any other templates or any modules that assign the categories.
:*Some articles may have the category hard coded, although I don't see any of these, either.

I figured out why theirs contains so many compared to ours. They have all articles that have any BLP template on it (i.e. Needs verification, disputed, etc.). I randomly picked out pages from [[:en:Category:Monthly_clean-up_category_(BLP_articles_lacking_sources)_counter|here]] which shows a ton of articles. So I think the closest we have (as our counter is empty and has no link bancks - maybe delete it or I can trace their populating schema) is [[:Category:Unreferenced_BLPs]]. So this is only those that are tagged no sources, not any of the other BLP tags. So at this point, I think we are good, but for the link on the start up we may want to change the category to the page with all of them listed and not just the recent ones. I am going to reach out to media wiki tech about why it won't show the earlier ones in the list, as it seems limited. Thanks and sorry about the long chain we have going.

== Ephebophilia incorrect introduction ==

Hi, the introduction to the article [[Ephebophilia]], the part that cannot be edited in any way by common users, indicates it as a "paraphilia characterized by sexual attraction to adolescents aged from 15-18". Ephebophilia is not classified as a paraphilia but more of a sexual preference, one of chronophilic kind. Plus, the given range is 15-19, not 15-18. Could you correct it please? Thank you.

Hi - Template:Infobox Law enforcement agency is no longer needed.

The picture they used was also deleted from commons due to copyright. There is no discussion to be had.

They put the request up on the board as soon as the QD tag was put on without putting wait on it.

Maybe you can reach out to them and see if they can generate a list for you and put it someplace for you to work on it.

And since I am here, I wanted to inform you of something else WMF is working on to help editors add value added articles to the project.
#With in the mentee module, they will have tasks to complete that are pretty basic such as references, wikilinking, spelling, grammar.
#This is the other one they are working on: [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Edit_check Edit check]. It seems to have some nice features and retainment of editors.

== New category for project ==

Hi! As you are the master of categories, I wanted to get a recommendation from you for my project, named by Darkfrog24 [[User:PotsdamLamb/Project/Total Backlog Annihilation|Total Backlog Annihilation]]. The only requirements are:

#Easy for editors to do that do not need complex writing of anything.
#Does not exceed 100 pages in the category

These requirements are only because the project does not only move slow, but because on the last one, I had many editors participate that are new to SEWP. The category we did was using [https://simple.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:UnconnectedPages&limit=250&offset=0&namespace=0 this special link] and we knocked it down to less than 20 from over 300 pages in a couple of days and allowed us to QD a lot of non-sense and such articles.

They just got off two back to back blocks. They are that famous Pakistani pushed from England. See [[User talk:DannyS712#Sorry]] as no action was taken including the fact the IP went and tagged a bunch of articles related to rights, lesbians and homosexuals with my name for QD.

== Mass-moving of pages in a category ==

Hello, @[[User:Auntof6|Auntof6]], we have a couple of duplicate categories: [[:Category:Singlechart usages]] and [[:Category:Single chart usages]]. Both cats have over 100 pages. Could you please assist in mass-moving pages from [[:Category:Singlechart usages]] to [[:Category:Single chart usages]] and redirect it? Somehow, [[:c:Help:Gadget-Cat-a-lot|Cat-a-lot]] does not work for me. – [[User:Cyber.Eyes.2005|<span style="color: #0099ff;">'''Cyber.Eyes'''</span><span style="color: #ff6600;">'''2005'''</span>]]<sup>[[User talk:Cyber.Eyes.2005|<span style="color: #003366;">'''Talk'''</span>]]</sup> 15:02, 17 April 2024 (UTC)

:@[[User:Cyber.Eyes.2005|Cyber.Eyes.2005]]: Actually, it looks like a lot of the subcats in [[:Category:Singlechart usages]] are empty and have corresponding categories in [[:Category:Single chart usages]].

::@[[User:Auntof6|Auntof6]], That sounds like a reasonable approach. Most subcats in [[:Category:Singlechart usages|Singlechart usages]] are empty. I think it'd be better to redirect those (or possibly delete them) to the corresponding ones in [[:Category:Single chart usages]]. Categories' names should be consistent with the parent template/Page, here [[Template:Single chart]].

I am collaborating with Sindh Adabbi Board which is government sponsored institution in Pakistan for promotion of Sindhi literature i want to know how do we publish notable subjects also how to undelete articles which are poorly affected by poor attention done by our press or writers.

== when you have time dear admin ==

dear admin I today found out that some articles literature belonging to Sindh. is getting deleted here on simple wiki. also subjects were very much notable  in Sindh and Middle East with its sources being very straight.

Hi - i remembered you said your speciality was categories (i still dont really understand them). I'm just saying in this entry that in the edit suggestions tool with the religion category selected, movies keep showing up. I checked the bottom of the page and religion doesn't show up. They are random movies which by the way have a lot of weird-looking intros with countries like 'country 1 country 2 country 3 country 4' and genres like 'genre 1 genre 2 genre 3 genre movie' and also i could see why a christmas movie would show up in the edit suggestions tool

== Vandalism and similar articles ==

Hello! I have stumbled upon the Kurdish pages on this wiki, I have noticed extreme vandalism from both Regionalist Kurds and Nationlist Turks which both constinently change the Kurdish pages to be unreliable, I have tried to fix [[Kurdistan Region|Iraqi Kurdistan]] and [[Kurdistan (state)|Kurdistan(state)]].

Also [[Kurdistan (state)]] and [[Kurdistan]] are the exact same articles, with Kurdistan (state) being about Kurdistan being a country while it currently isn't independent(the HDI,GDP,Religion etc datas are related to Iraqi Kurdistan, which is only the southern part of the region??) And I suggest for them to be either merged or Kurdistan (state) getting deleted due to its extreme vandalism and unreliability.

Also [[Kurdistan Region]] should be merged with [[Iraqi Kurdistan]]. They're the exact same thing.

You didnt answer him so i thought i wojld ping you. https://simple.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:W;ChangingUsername&diff=prev&oldid=9622124


And by the way I don't want to take part in wikipedias gay little bureaucracy or high school tier politics. Just see david2000 thouhh because since i edited 'his' page fkr [[stroke]] (which now i am going to change again) and posted a barnstar to jis profile he has been like this, and also removed thousands upon thousands of characters from a mass of articles - and j think he will do it again in the future. I dont care abojt this person who edits children's cartoons articles randomly doing medical articles. But I am putting thr articles back because I now care more about what the reader will see than I do his feelings. 


Just wanted to ping about this unanswered question he had about editing MY talk page and ALL of MY articles (deleting 4000 characters or so of them abd making stubs) and reverting edits on HIS article and HIS talk page barnstars. So thanks 


I forgot to mention that the children's cartoons page editor has taken hmm about 50 hours of work I did in a week or so. In addition to before, he has taken 50 hours of my life.

Hi. Thank you for responding to my permissions request. You said I had some issues with writing in simple English. Could I ask for some examples or articles of mine where I used language that was too difficult? This will help me understand my mistakes. I think that I write my articles in simple English (e.g. the recently written [[Xavier Novell Gomá]]), I try to use short sentences and basic phrases. <span style="font-size:85%;color:#008000;border:2.5px solid green;border-radius:15px;">&nbsp;<b>[[User:BZPN|<span style="color:#008000;">BZPN</span>]] ([[User talk:BZPN|<span style="color:#008000;">talk</span>]]) </b>&nbsp;</span> 16:31, 31 July 2024 (UTC)

:P.S.

:@[[User:BZPN|BZPN]]: Sure. Here are some complex words and phrases that I see in that article:
::suspended, ordained, apppointed, consecrated, resignation, left the priesthood, civil ceremony, dispensation
:There are different ways these can be resolved:
:*If we have an article about the subject, link the word. For example, you could link [[resignation]]. You could link "consecrated" to [[consecration]]. You could link "civil ceremony" to [[civil marriage]].
:*Reword the sentence in simpler terms. For example, instead of "he was ordained a priest" you could say "he became a priest". Instead of "appointed him as the Bishop of Solsona" you could say "made him the Bishop of Solsona." Instead of "left the priesthood" you could say "stopped being a priest."
:*Explain the term after using it. For example, add "permission" in parentheses after "special dispensation".

:@[[User:Ferien|Ferien]]: As I'm sure you know, though, there are areas where our practice is to make exceptions to the rule. Maintenance categories are one, since there may or may not be maintenance items at any given time. Another is categories for births or deaths in a given year, plus all the higher-level categories needed to support those. Another one I remember is to allow for a complete set of categories where there is a finite set of something and little or no expectation of the set growing; I created [[:Category:Hawaii counties]] under that idea back when we had only 2 entries for it, just to get a county category for every state. -- [[User:Auntof6|Auntof6]] ([[User talk:Auntof6#top|talk]]) 23:27, 12 August 2024 (UTC)

:::@[[User:Ferien|Ferien]]: Another issue that contributes to this is categories added by templates.

:::@[[User:Cactusisme|Cactusisme]]: In general, I see that the article is not categorized and has broken references. It looks like it was copied directly from enwiki without any simplification. That can get the article deleted, so you might want to move it to your userspace to work on.
:::Comments on the lead:
:::*There are complex words and words that could be changed to make things easier to understand. For example: variety, adapted, supernatural, fantastic, prominent, feature, typically, conquer, unique, influential
:::*There is complex sentence structure. Most of the sentences could be divided into shorter sentences to make them easier to read and understand.
:::*It might be helpful to break it into 2 or 3 paragraphs to make it easier for readers.
:::Comments on the list:
:::*There are complex words. A few just near the beginning of the list are avaricious, spherical, aspects, aversions. There are many others in the rest of the list.
:::*Complex and long sentences, as above.
:::It might help to look at things this way: our target audience is people who don't know English very well. If they come across a long sentence, they have to try to make sense of the whole thing all at once because they can't tell what pieces have to go together. If what they're reading has shorter sentences (which is how sentences are supposed to be here), they can evaluate a smaller piece at a time.
:::Here's an example. This is the first sentence in the article:
::::In the Dungeons & Dragons, the word monster refers to a variety of creatures, some adapted from folklore and legends and others created only for the game.
:::Here's how you could divide it into smaller pieces (with a little simplifying of words as well):

== Infoboxes ==

Hi. :) Yeah, I've been trying to work on fixing infoboxes so they have up-to-date information, and so on, but then I forget to check to switch them back to the images specifically on the Simple WP articles in question, or to remove the redlinks that I'd accidentally created. Sometimes I will copy and paste them and forget to switch the images back to the ones that are on the Simple WP entry. Remembering to remove the redlinked image codes is something I'm normally good at but it slips my mind occasionally.

Remembering to transfer notes and references over from en.wiki to simple.wiki is something I'm always trying to remind myself to do efficiently - especially when they are grouped named references.

Feel free to jab me again if I do something silly. :D Thank you for not making me feel ''too'' embarrassed! It's never my intention to transfer the wrong images over.

{{od}}

@[[User:Cactusisme|Cactusisme]]: OK. First the good:
*It shows notability by mentioning the Paralympic medal.
*There's an infobox.
*The language seems simple enough.

Now the things that could be improved:
*It's very short, having pretty much the bare minimum needed to show notability. If you could add more detail, that would be good.
*Since the one thing that shows notability is having won the Paralympic medal, there should be a reference for that. Right now, there are references for the birth date and birth place, and those don't show notability. If one of the existing references shows that he won the medal, you could make it a named reference and use it in two places.
*There are more words/terms that could be linked.
*Please add one more blank line before the stub template. That's so that the output from the stub template is visually more separate from what's above.

I would say to add an image, but I don't see one on Commons.

Hope that helps. If I think of anything else, I'll let you know. :) --[[User:Auntof6|Auntof6]] ([[User talk:Auntof6#top|talk]]) 09:57, 3 October 2024 (UTC)

== Request for feedback ==

Hello. I'd like to ask your opinion about Davey2010 before I do anything stupid with this problem. Recently, I paid attention to this user's articles - I noticed that in many places sources for information were missing. For example, on Polish or English Wikipedia, the requirement is to provide the sources of all information - the same is true on Simple Wikipedia ([[Wikipedia:Verifiability]]). It appears that user Davey2010 is consciously publishing information without sources, which in theory should not happen. His explanation, however, is that the content is copied from the English Wikipedia and that Simple Wiki is not actually a real encyclopedia. This approach, of course, prevents users from verifying the information contained in these articles. I pointed this out to the user in his discussion, you can see this [[User talk:Davey2010#Alexander Dennis Enviro400 MMC|here]]. Therefore, I'm asking for your opinion - I don't know if if I report it to AN, the administrators will want to do anything about it.

== Question about empty categories ==

Hello :) I'm asking you because you are the number 1 Category Expert, but anyone who knows can answer. How do you know when a category has been empty for four days? And how do you deal with monthly backlog categories that automatically C1 themselves once they are empty? My guess is that old backlogs are deleted straight away because they are unlikely to be re-populated again, but I am curious to know if that's the case or not. Thank you in advance :) '''[[User:Dream Indigo|<span style="color:Indigo;font-family:Andalus">✩ Dream</span>]] [[User talk:Dream Indigo|<span style="color:Indigo;font-family:Andalus">Indigo ✩</span>]]''' 16:32, 8 November 2024 (UTC)

:@[[User:Dream Indigo|Dream Indigo]]: Good questions.
:"How do you know when a category has been empty for four days?"
::I put the category in my watchlist temporarily, then look for any activity in it during the last 4 days. That will show if anything was removed from it during that time. I think you have to have "category changes" active for this to work, and display at least 4 days worth of activity in your watchlist.
:"monthly backlog categories that automatically C1 themselves once they are empty"
::I assume you mean maintenance categories. I consider these an exception to the 4-day rule. If they are for past months, I would delete them as soon as they are empty.
:Hope that helps. -- [[User:Auntof6|Auntof6]] ([[User talk:Auntof6#top|talk]]) 20:24, 8 November 2024 (UTC)

== Question about popcat ==

Hello :) I was wondering, if a category has a subcategory and two categories is {{tl|popcat}} still used? Thank you o(◕ᴗ◕✿)o☆ ''[[User:Asteralee|<span style="font-family:Georgia, Helvetica; color:#A76BCF">⯎ Aster</span>]][[User talk:Asteralee|<span style="font-family:Georgia, Helvetica; color:#9400A5">alee ⯎</span>]]'' 22:32, 15 November 2024 (UTC)

:@[[User:Asteralee|Asteralee]]: I'm not sure what you mean by "a subcategory and two categories" -- do you mean a subcat and two articles? In any case, if it has three entries of any type -- articles, templates, sub categories, or whatever -- I wouldn't put popcat on it. -- [[User:Auntof6|Auntof6]] ([[User talk:Auntof6#top|talk]]) 23:00, 15 November 2024 (UTC)

Hey, I recently accidentally clicked the restore button while editing on my phone, and it automatically restored without asking for confirmation.

Hi! Thanks for closing the RfD. I didn't realise there was one open, there was no RfD template in the page when I deleted it. It was spam that's been created a few times so I QDed it each time and salted it as well. Again, thanks!
