Category:Wikipedia category-redirect box parameter needs fixing
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This category's subcategories are automatically populated by the template {{Category redirect}}, indicating that their input needs attention.
- This category is hidden on its member pages—unless the corresponding user preference (Appearance → Show hidden categories) is set.
- These categories can be used to track, build and organize lists of pages needing "attention en masse" (for example, pages using deprecated syntax), or that may need to be edited at someone's earliest convenience.
- These categories also serve to aggregate members of several lists or sub-categories into a larger, more efficient list (discriminated by classifications).
If some case is too tricky or a category page is protected so you can't edit it, don't worry. More experienced editors and admins will work through the cases that get left in this category.
MediaWiki runs updates of category listings (as the one you see below) as a low priority job. Thus if the servers are very busy it can take some days before a category is removed from the list below, even though the category page has been fixed. But normally it is removed within an hour.
Sometimes you need to purge a page to see your change of a {{Category redirect}} box and to get rid of this category from the bottom of a page.
