[edit] List of featured lists

Come on, where's the sense of humor?!? =) --Alterego 02:07, July 15, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Moved California Hurricanes

I've moved List of California hurricanes into the History section (from Geography) per the standard for featured hurricane articles. —Cuiviénen (Cuivië)

[edit] Latest featured-content dispatch in The Signpost

I've inserted a mention of FLs in an article that would otherwise have concerned only FAs. I hope my characterisation of FLs was OK (it had to be just a short phrase). I don't think the edition is out yet. Wikipedia:FCDW/May_5,_2008 TONY (talk) 15:14, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Categorisation

[edit] Architecture & buildings

I came to find some good lists of buildings, a task made (slightly) more difficult by the fact there is no consistency of listing. Castles in Greater Manchester is listed under Art, architecture and archaeology, Grade I listed buildings in Bristol under Culture & society, and Grade I listed buildings in Greater Manchester under Engineering & Technology. Is this a little strange? Gwinva (talk) 22:59, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

I moved the two listed buildings ones into the architecture one given they are listed due to their architectural significance. Woody (talk) 16:40, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
On another note, should we also move the Lists of tallest buildings: into the architecture section? Woody (talk) 16:43, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
I don't know, personally I think those lists fit more under engineering, but perhaps we should ask someone familiar with the subject like Raime. -- Scorpion0422 16:55, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
Tallest seems more about engineering whereas grading is all about the architecture as far as I am aware so the current system actually seems the most appropriate. Woody (talk) 17:14, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Video games

Should these not be moved from sport and recreation into media. That would seem more appropriate to me. I will carry this out if there are no objections within a couple of days. Woody (talk) 16:43, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

I was going to oppose because we usually ty and be consistant with the WP:FA categories, but as it turns out, they've gone and moved video games to their own section, so we might as well too. -- Scorpion0422 16:48, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Space

Currently stuff relating to space and astronomy are under the "Engineering and technology" and "Physics and astronomy" categories. Should they all be placed into one "Space and astornomy" category? -- Scorpion0422 16:53, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

I would go with "Space and astronomy" ;) Woody (talk) 17:14, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] onlyinclude

At Eurovision Song Contest winners there is an inline comment that says:

<onlyinclude><!-- See [[Wikipedia talk:Featured lists]] for an explanation of this and other inclusion tags below -->

but there seems to be no mention of "onlyinclude" here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.150.101.159 (talk) 00:56, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

There probably was at one point, but it may have been archived. I'll try to dig it out for you. Matthewedwards (talk · contribs · count · email) 02:33, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
See Wikipedia_talk:Featured_lists/Archive_1#Proposed_change_to_all_featured_lists. Nothing has really taken effect, and many FLs do not have the onlyinclude tags. Matthewedwards (talk · contribs · count · email) 02:44, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
Thanks! If the use of these cryptic tags is at all widespread then I think that ideally an explanation should be left on this page (or somewhere else if someone wants to change all the links in the article comments), rather than being hived off somewhere else, if that can be done. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.138.41.219 (talk) 19:21, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
List of The Simpsons episodes includes comment of <!-- See [[Wikipedia_talk:Featured_lists#Proposed_change_to_all_featured_lists]] for an explanation of this and other inclusion tags below --> -TinGrin 05:13, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
