CFD edit

What is this?

(re-categorisation per CFD, Replaced: {{R from alternate name}}{{R from alternative name}})

I am sure it will do no harm, but won't it save a lot of bot work if someone edits the template to transclude the new category name, instead of renaming all the existing instances of the template? I will check the talk for the template. --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 21:55, 3 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

There seems to be no documentation, except a remark in Wikipedia:Categories_for_deletion/Log/2006_September_23#Redirects_from_alternative that says that to change a transcluded category requires that a page be opened and saved again. I am still puzzled, but I see your owner is an expert on Templates, so I won't bother you further. Sorry for the interruption. --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 22:09, 3 October 2006 (UTC)Reply
Currently the issue is the category doesn't update on redirected templates. So far, replacing has been the only solution that works. --Sagabot 22:06, 3 October 2006 (UTC)Reply
My point was that there was no need to redirect {{R from alternate name}}, but simply to change the category name in the {{R from alternate name}} template code. However, I have no idea if that would work (except for new pages). I won't dig any further. --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 22:14, 3 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

Error in bot edit

Hi, Your bot did a poor regexp/substitute. In Template:User degree/BSc subject, it changed [[Category:User degree/BSc|{{PAGENAME}}]] into [[Category:Wikipedians with BS degreesc|{{PAGENAME}}]]. The difference here is that up to "BS" was substituted, but not "c", which was left behind. Just thought I ought to let you know. +mwtoews 06:00, 16 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

Oh, and one last bit ... BS == BSc ... they are the same, with the exception of what is on our degrees or business cards, or whatever. They should stay in the same category, just different shorthands. +mwtoews 06:03, 16 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

tagging spider page edit

hi,

this bot tagged Talk:Phidippus audax with the Template:ArthropodTalk. However, it is part of the sub-project WP:SPI, and thus should probably not be tagged additionaly with ArthropodTalk. I could not find out who told the bot to do this, so please contact me if you read this, so we can discuss what would be the best way to do this. thanks --Sarefo 22:43, 23 November 2006 (UTC)Reply


Why did you remove a category from my user page?--Daipenmon 08:09, 18 January 2007 (UTC) Reply
