Template talk:Uncat-date

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This template was considered for deletion on 2006 August 30. The result of the discussion was to keep.

I have removed the tfd tag from this template. No reason was given on this discussion page for its inclusion in the template --- Skapur 12:43, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] TFD tag

It is unnecessary because there is no backlog for uncategorized pages and it also creates the backlog by making the process longer. The process was fine with {{Template:Uncat}} by itself. Lincher 14:18, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

Since when is over 1700 articles not a backlog? If you don't find it useful, then ignore it, it makes virtually no difference in that case. I won't remove the tfd tag, but I think the editor who did was entitled to do so, as it is clearly not going to be deleted, and there was prior agreement to make the by-date template anyway.

Also, please explain how "it also creates the backlog by making the process longer", I can't see any reason for this at all. Martin 15:03, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

As I have seen the voting unfurl, the tag will be removed altough categorization by date or not, if the whole process of categorization is not automated soon the project will be overwhelmingly impossible for people to help for it will be too big to understand by a neophyte wikiuser. I can say one thing, I use to categorize articles when I was an IP-only user but its been 2 years from that and it is thus too complicated for me to understand anymore, I was just thinking that having a per-date-categorization was unnecessary because a bot needs to do the job instead.
