[edit] Problems
Anyone has a clue why the template isn't working? See CERN for example, both Category:Articles with unsourced statements since August 2007 and Category:Articles with unsourced statements since November 2007 appear, while Category:All articles with unsourced statements does not. That's odd. --Conti|✉ 02:54, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
- For a while, the __HIDDENCAT__ code was commented out, either as a mistake or because the person who added the "<!-- ... -->" code wanted to disable it. That same editor, Vivio Testarossa, also nominated the template for deletion. It should work fine now, though. If not, try bypassing your browser's cache. szyslak 07:21, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Message appearing twice on hidden categories that are subcategories of other hidden categories
See Category:Wikipedia articles needing style editing from September 2006 for an example. I think that the message about the category being hidden appears twice because the category itself is hidden, and it is a subcategory of a hidden category. Can anything be done about this?--Danaman5 (talk) 06:56, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
- This should all be fixed. I suspect the only problem will occur with resurrected categories. Rich Farmbrough, 21:19 11 March 2008 (GMT).
[edit] Wikipedia namespace
This should not apply to Wikipedia namespace, where all or some categories will likely be hidden, thus creating an impression of uncategorized (or not fully categorized) articles.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 19:34, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Usage
I've added pointers in the Template:Hiddencat/documentation to the discussions that I could find. Please clarify if you can, what the current recommended usage is, or where discussions are happening. -- Quiddity (talk) 03:01, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
