[edit] Discussion

I think I basically follow this, although I'm just wondering if there is a more useful message other than a simple sentence. In any case, can you provide a diff for our review. -- RM 15:06, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

The message could use improvement and sugestions are welcome, I was unsure of the wording I should use [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] are some diffs. Betacommand ^{(talk • contribs • Bot)} 15:50, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for those difs, I don't really care for the wording though, could it be updated to something like: Some pages in this category have been added from {{t1}}? PRE-TEST approved, up to 50 edits, for development work. — xaosflux ^Talk 23:12, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

A quick note, the cats that will be created will be populated solely from templates, Im cleaning up Special:categories and the ones that I detect I know is populated by a template but not necciarly what template is populating it.

I know I don't like the wording, but I don't really have any better suggestion. I suppose I have no other objections. If someone comes to you and suggests a better phrase/content, please use it. Otherwise, what else is there to say? -- RM 03:19, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Approved. It's finally time to approve this, discussion being dead. Please follow Xaosflux's recommendation to say something like "Some pages in this category have been added from {{[[Template:{{{1}}}|{{{1}}}]]}}". -- RM 03:43, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
