Category: Groups
I commented about this on SAs talk page. And you mentioned you might know something about fixing it. When you get a chance can you elaborate either here, SAs page, or mine? Thanks!--GANG Giles Sednik CAPD 16:49, 15 November 2009 (UTC)
- Heya. I fixed Category:Groups so it only had proper categories and not group's own categories, but upon looking at SA's talk that was never the problem... If you are wondering about why the subcategories don't show alphabetically, it is because of the template Template:subcat which can prioritise the category over the ones done manually. Long story, don't know how it works but that's just what it does I guess. As for subcategories disappearing, I don't know what you mean. When I remove Category:Groups from a page and replace it with Category:Survivor Groups or Category:Zombie Groups then it always appears in the latter. --DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION-- 21:57, 15 November 2009 (UTC)
- So I understand now how categorizing is supposed to work. Yet there is this one nagging issue of bringing a category out of one subcategory into a larger category. For example, try adding Category:Noise_Abatement_Societies to Category:Groups. I'm not saying it necessarily belongs there (though there is an argument to be made). In theory all you have to do is remove the zombie groups category and add the groups category. But look how it stubbornly doesn't appear in Template:subcat under Category:Groups. Perhaps a further examining of subcat is in order. Anyways thanks for your help and experience, as usual.--GANG Giles Sednik CAPD 16:14, 17 November 2009 (UTC)
- But it appears as it is supposed to appear: not at the start like Template:subcat is supposed to do, but rather alphabetically with all the other groups. Speaking of which, I didn't notice there were so many other groups in Category:Groups. Might have to clean them up soon. --DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION-- 22:15, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

In my attempts to give the categories some semblance of structure and sense, the idea would be to remove any groups pages in the category and have them appear only in their specific sub-groups. Category:Groups would then mostly be a listing of these different subgroup categories with almost no articles.
You can then avoid all the nonsense with subcat and the wiki's poor sorting as well and making things easier to search. -- RoosterDragon

Unmerged locations as a scheduled deletion?
I suggested adding unmerged locations pages as a scheduled deletion a few days ago, but it is yet to be commented on. I'm guessing it got buried under other edits before anyone saw it :/
Just wanted to give you and anyone else reding this a heads up.--~ Red Hawk One Talk | space for lease 00:16, 19 November 2009 (UTC)
- You put them on the main page's news so people vote on it, silly :D
- But yes, I did see it at the time, I was just making up my mind at the time and got a little sidetracked by other chores. --DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION-- 00:19, 19 November 2009 (UTC)
- Whoops. Silly me. I knew I was forgetting to do something. I go add it rig- beat me to the punch. Thanks!--~ Red Hawk One Talk | space for lease 00:21, 19 November 2009 (UTC)
P.L.A.
You recently contacted me on the group page(P.L.A.) about moving it. I have taken it into consideration and would like you to move it for me. I am extremely new to wiki so if you could get back to me about this it will be greatly appreciated.--Patrick MacManus talk 01:07, 19 November 2009 (UTC)
- It turns out there is already a group by the name of People's Liberation Army :( But I can move it to PLA or anything else you'd like. Sorry about that. --DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION-- 02:45, 19 November 2009 (UTC)
- Lurker time. Given that the pre-existing group is wildly inactive, why not move it to People's Liberation Army (2008 founding) and have the new group at People's Liberation Army (2009 founding) (or words to that effect), with PLA (and/or P.L.A.) being disambiguation page(s)? Also, apparently here be brackets.

Redirect Fix
Can I actually fix the redirect on my own? I thought I would need sysop powers to do that since I cannot actually get to the page in question. Would I have to locate the code on the destination page and remove that? --Maverick Talk - OBR 404 06:54, 19 November 2009 (UTC)
