GuildWiki talk:Bot tasks/Redcat removal

So should Category be rewritten to ? mendel 01:32, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Also, wouldn't it make much more sense to MAKE the category then just delete all references to it?--[[Image:Gigathrash_sig_G.jpg]]ìğá†ħŕášħ 01:33, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes that would make sense, hence why the opposite is being done. -- Dr R. Phalange 01:35, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
 * If you rewrite for, you could actually put some rewrite rules in redcat that re-categorize articles without the need to bot through them. mendel 01:37, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

The categories are nonexistant. Thus, they should be deleted and all links (if they even had any) should be removed...DeletedLink is probably not even necessary in most cases. I do not see the point to creating a useless category. (T/C) 02:00, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
 * You'd have to examine the list of wanted cats and see if each one should or shouldn't be a category. Since most of them only have one thing in them, it might be weird to run a bot. IDK. &mdash;♥ Jedi ♥ Rogue ♥ 02:23, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I initially created this page because Warwick was being stubborn and refusing to do it herself. She said she was going to be "removing build redlink cats" from articles, so I made the page as generic as possible to let her edit in the details herself.  Turned out that she was confused about what she was actually doing - she wasn't removing redlink cats, she was creating the May 8th MayBot debacle that Mendel has been cleaning up.  This page probably isn't necessary anymore.  +del  &mdash;Dr Ishmael [[Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif]] 05:59, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

I think it is improper to rewrite user pages to remove "user categories". Maybe we should think about making a sort of "user category" namespace instead and rewrite the frivolous categories to take advantage of that. The more useful ones will grow and proper. Than then we'll have to do another bot run to move them to namespace proper. Hmm. I am coming to the conclusion that redcats maybe should better be left alone. mendel 07:55, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
