[edit]
Sir, your edits broke categorization on subpages. I’ve fixed 3 of them. I.e. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template%3AWikipedias_in_Uralic_languages&diff=1177692883&oldid=1141571067 Joseph (talk) 07:16, 29 September 2023 (UTC)
- Hello, Joseph. Thank you for messaging me about this issue.
- Categorizing articles using templates like this is discouraged. Mainly because it leads too easily to miscategorization. Such indirection in categorization also makes it harder for editors (and bots) to track down the categorizations, when they need to be adjusted (due to category renaming, merging, deletion, etc).
- Using explicit categorization is recommended instead. This is documented in the guidelines at Wikipedia:Categorization#Categorization using templates. —andrybak (talk) 12:29, 30 September 2023 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Television series by genre fan user templates[edit]
A tag has been placed on Category:Television series by genre fan user templates indicating that it is currently empty, and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion. If it remains empty for seven days or more, it may be deleted under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and removing the speedy deletion tag. Liz Read! Talk! 21:18, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

"participant of" is suboptimal grammar[edit]
As I have been cleaning up userboxes, I have noticed a few edits like this one, in which you changed "member of" to "participant of". The phrasing "participant in" makes more sense. Also, in that edit, you did not change the actual category, which is the point of the CFD. I don't think that the CFD contained any consensus about the wording used by individual WikiProjects to describe their members/participants/flunkies, so I have been leaving that wording for WikiProjects to decide for themselves, or for an RFC. – Jonesey95 (talk) 23:39, 18 October 2023 (UTC)
- Jonesey95, thank you for the correction. Feel free to revert the offending edits. —andrybak (talk) 00:33, 19 October 2023 (UTC)

Category good sense[edit]
Ah, I was wondering for a while how I would go add categories in a Sandbox type of environment, like you did at User:Qwertyxp2000/Template:Auckland, New Zealand, but now that you stated the colons behind the category stuff, that makes a lot of sense. Qwertyxp2000 (talk | contribs) 19:00, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
- @Qwertyxp2000, check out WP:COLONTRICK. —andrybak (talk) 19:58, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
- I have seen this colon trick before, but hadn't known that I could do this in the context of sandboxed templates. Thanks for letting me know that page. Qwertyxp2000 (talk | contribs) 23:35, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
Tabs on Cons[edit]
Hey there, and thanks for adapting user-tabs-on-contribs! Could you perhaps make it so it automatically localizes by using the MediaWiki:Talk and MediaWiki:Nstab-user? I've done a similar thing in m:User:Aaron Liu/What redirects here.js Aaron Liu (talk) 00:09, 4 March 2024 (UTC)
