Tech:How to purge the categories list

From Wikitravel Shared

Jump to: navigation, search

[edit] What happens

On en:, 9 out of every 10 categories on the Categories page from the Special Pages list is either an invalid category that has been deleted or something that comes up claiming to be a never-been-saved preview. Pages in other languages seem to display the same type of behavior. Texugo 01:09, 12 December 2007 (EST)

[edit] When it happens

On whichever rare occasion you might happen to look at the list.

[edit] What should happen

Somebody should smack some sense into this page. Also, I should get a girlfriend. Texugo 01:22, 12 December 2007 (EST)

[edit] How to fix it

I don't know. Voodoo doesn't seem to work and phrenology is simply no help in this case. Texugo 01:22, 12 December 2007 (EST)

It seems that red links on en:Special:Categories are wanted categories. I think you can remove red link category from both lists by removing category from pages, e.g. remove [[Category:Baku]] from en:Image:Typical carpet shop in Baku.JPG. -- Tatata 03:26, 12 December 2007 (EST)
