CS1 maintenance categories
[edit]If userspace content isn't supposed to be in those categories, then that's a problem for the people who actually work with those categories to fix — but since they're template-generated and template-transcluded categories that I have no ability to fix on my own, they need to stay off of the polluted categories report, because it isn't my job to worry about them and it isn't my job to just let them sit on that report permanently as things I have to work around. It's a template coding issue that needs to be fixed by template coders, not a me manually removing category declarations issue, so it can't just stay on the report as a perennial speed bump. Find some other way to deal with it that keeps them out of my workflow, please, because they're not my job to fix. Bearcat (talk) 15:45, 10 November 2025 (UTC)
- You are mistook. It is not a template coding issue. cs1|2 templates do not categorize pages from the User namespace. As I write this, Category:CS1 maint: date and year has one User namespace page: User:Stephan.Miller. If you look in that page's wikitext you will find these category wikilinks:
[[Category:CS1 maint: date and year|Δ]][[Category:CS1 German-language sources (de)]]
- Similarly, Category:CS1 uses Ukrainian-language script (uk) also has one user namespace page: User:Wenge098/Vladimir Vernadsky. If you look in that page's wikitext you will find these category wikilinks:
[[Category:CS1 uses Ukrainian-language script (uk)]][[Category:CS1 Ukrainian-language sources (uk)]]
- Templates at en.wiki cannot write wikitext so the cs1|2 templates cannot and did not create those wikilinks; they are the result of some other (likely human) process. Because cs1|2 does not categorize anything in User namespace, any user page listed in a cs1|2 category is not a legitimate categorization so should be reported in the polluted categories report.

Hi there. I found you at ANI listing "Recently Active Users". Would you have a moment to look at Talk:Española, New Mexico#Disputed image. I started a discussion regarding an image an editor keeps adding, but they've been quite rude, and it's hard to settle a dispute when the other editor insults you. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! Magnolia677 (talk) 22:49, 11 November 2025 (UTC)
- I'm not really your guy for this. I pleaded for and got my mop for technical rather than administrative purposes. So, I stay away from content and other disputes. You might be better served by another sysop or by WP:AN/I.
- If its worth anything, I agree that Hernandez is not Española so Adams' photo doesn't really belong; it is after all, in the Hernandez article.

- Not a problem! It's just that I know I'm right, and I'm trying to persuade another editor to see it my way, and all I get attitude! It's like being in a line at Walmart. Hey, cheers! Magnolia677 (talk) 12:34, 12 November 2025 (UTC)
