Eastern Geek, you are invited to the Teahouse!

Hi Eastern Geek! Thanks for contributing to Misplaced Pages. Delivered by HostBot on behalf of the Teahouse hosts 16:01, 6 December 2021 (UTC) |
What are you doing?
You have changed a massive amount of pages from an appropriate category (Norwegian monarchs) to a category of a time period they didn't even live in (10th century). --TylerBurden (talk) 07:27, 10 December 2021 (UTC)
- I'm fixing it right now!--Eastern Geek (talk) 07:29, 10 December 2021 (UTC)
- Right, it appears to be all good now. Be careful with that. :) --TylerBurden (talk) 07:38, 10 December 2021 (UTC)
Now you're doing it again. Frankly you are making very clumsy use of whatever tool you are using, or your intentions here are not good. --TylerBurden (talk) 18:37, 13 December 2021 (UTC)
- I actually removed redundant categories using cat-a-lot properly. This time I used the tool right. Take for example this edit. Category:Norwegian monarchs is not necessary if an article is under the "21st-century Norwegian monarchs" category, which is included in the general category of Norwegian monarchs. Do you get it?--Eastern Geek (talk) 15:11, 20 December 2021 (UTC)
- I can't say that I do, but I haven't been working with categories much at all on Misplaced Pages. However it doesn't seem redundant to me. Even if it is "included in the general category" what damage does it do that a Norwegian Monarch page has a link to the Norwegian Monarchs category? Not to mention, you offer no reasons in your edit summaries using that tool. --TylerBurden (talk) 15:23, 20 December 2021 (UTC)
