WikiProject categories

Hey. I'm sorry but I had to revert your edits. WikiProject categories belong to the talk page (and are created automatically when a WikiProject tag is added). Prolog (talk) 15:58, 5 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

In the future, please explain your reasoning for such a deletion in the edit summary. I found this while researching why an experienced editor would remove without explanation what appears at first glance to be a legitimate category tag. Thanks! --Guy Macon (talk) 18:21, 5 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I used rollback due to the high number of edits that needed reversion (see WP:RBK). Prolog (talk) 19:12, 5 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ah. I understand. My apologies. --Guy Macon (talk) 23:50, 5 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for helping out, and sorry for these troubles. Just to ask, how do I add WikiProject categories? Wei2912 (talk) 10:52, 6 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You shouldn't normally need to add these by hand. For example, the template {{WikiProject Linux}} automatically categorizes the talk page based on the quality and importance ratings. Prolog (talk) 21:47, 6 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

So should i just add the template to the talk page? BTW I'm not supposed to add that to pages which the WikiProject has no effect on as of yet. I just need to add those pages to the category so that we can schedule these pages for improvements. I think I'll remain with nominating these pages. Thanks. Wei2912 (talk) 08:54, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the template is enough. It should of course be added only to relevant talk pages. Suggested improvements can be tracked through to-do lists. Prolog (talk) 19:06, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Mark WikiProject Linux as inactive?

Hi! I was directed to your talk page by the participants list on WikiProject Linux. I've started a discussion whether we can keep it running, or mark it as inactive.– Abuluntu ( talk 06:37, 28 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
