Do you want to repost your queries about this to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Football for further comment? Not enough people watch, or perhaops care, about the Australian component. Matilda Maniac (talk) 22:46, 31 October 2025 (UTC)

Apologies for such a late reply, short answer: no; I feel like this can be easily solved in the Australia task force if we're talking about an Australian league. Just need to try and spread the attention to the Australia task force. FastCube (talk) 11:30, 5 January 2026 (UTC)

Hello, FastCube,

I stopped posting notifications for empty categories as you create so many categories, I didn't want your User talk page to get overwhelmed. You can see what they are by scanning my CSD log at User:Liz/CSD log#November 2025.

However, I'm not sure why you converted so many unneeded categories to category redirects rather than just allowing them to be deleted. Category redirects aren't used very frequently and I imagine that most editors aren't even aware that they exist. But you know football, I don't, so do what you think is best. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 04:28, 9 November 2025 (UTC)

Ok yes thank you, was a lot to mark off. The moving from "international" to "continental" categories was based on a mistake I made with club competitions being part of "international" categories, when they're only meant for national teams. And I will always make sure that when doing this, there's zero empty categories; if not, I will have to redirect them. FastCube (talk) 04:31, 9 November 2025 (UTC)

Hello, FastCube,

Please do not "blank" category pages, even if they have been emptied. It can be important for the CSD tagger to see what other categories they are part of. Thank you for stopping this blanking pages. 17:46, 15 December 2025 (UTC)

Can you please stop using this when creating categories and instead type the country name? The bots and tools that fix redirects can't automatically fix wrong categories and so they have to be edited manually. If you put the country name in directly this saves everyone time. Timrollpickering (talk) 11:09, 23 December 2025 (UTC)

So I can't use those templates on mainspace categories, and they're essentially only meant for the category templates? (e.g. Template:YYYY in nationality women's sport category header) FastCube (talk) 13:08, 25 December 2025 (UTC)

They're a general problem because they stop the system using the correct category. Typing it manually saves time all round. Timrollpickering (talk) 10:30, 30 December 2025 (UTC)

Please don't add categories like Category:1901 establishments in England to WP:eponymous categories. Often adding categories like this are WP:Overcat because not everything in the category was established in that year. Thanks! ^SMason_Garrison 20:20, 1 January 2026 (UTC)

Hello, FastCube. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Football at the 1972 Summer Olympics – Men's European Qualifiers – First round, a page you created, has not been edited in at least five months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.

If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.

Before adding a category to an article, as you did to Category:USASA National Women's Amateur, please make sure that the subject of the article really belongs in the category that you specified according to Wikipedia's categorization guidelines. The category being added must already exist, and must be supported by the article's verifiable content. Categories may be removed if they are deemed incorrect for the subject matter. please review categorization polices for eponymous categories. Typically, such categories should not have categories like 1980 establishments in the United States or Recurring sporting events established in 1980 because they don't apply to everything in the category. ^SMason_Garrison 04:42, 3 February 2026 (UTC)

It looks like I already requested you stope doing this. User_talk:FastCube#Category:England national amateur football team. please stop doing. ^SMason_Garrison 04:43, 3 February 2026 (UTC)

Hello. I have noticed that you often edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. To help yourself remember, you may wish to set Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary (or the default undo summary). Thanks! Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 01:05, 4 February 2026 (UTC)

Please always leave an edit summary, especially if it is a category included in a CFD discussion. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 01:12, 4 February 2026 (UTC)

Hello, FastCube,

I noticed when I came to delete a number of empty categories that were tagged CSD C1 that since the day they were tagged for speedy deletion, you had included them in a CFD discussion (Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2026 January 23#International club association football competitions by host).

In the future, if you come upon other empty categories tagged CSD C1, either leave them out of the CFD discussion and don't include them or remove the CSD C1 tag whenever you place a CFD tag on to the category page. It might take an extra minute but it reduces confusion for other editors to have a page only be part of one deletion process. Thank you. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 01:12, 4 February 2026 (UTC)

Yeah my apologies, I changed my mind to do a CfD afterwards as there's so many categories to go through. FastCube (talk) 01:14, 4 February 2026 (UTC)

Hello, FastCube. This message concerns the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, "Football at the 1972 Summer Olympics – Men's European Qualifiers – First round".

Drafts that go unedited for six months are eligible for deletion, in accordance with our draftspace policy, and this one has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission, and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you read this, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the draft so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia! DreamRimmer bot II (talk) 17:25, 18 February 2026 (UTC)

Hello, FastCube,

Are you going to fill all of these empty categories? I really recommend against creating dozens of empty, new categories all at the same time. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 08:03, 2 March 2026 (UTC)

Yes. FastCube (talk) 08:03, 2 March 2026 (UTC)

Hello, again, FastCube,

Please do not turn a category into a category redirect until it's been emptied of articles and categories. Or were you planning to do that soon yourself instead for categories that were part of this discussion instead of waiting for the bot to handle the situation? Thanks again. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 20:41, 2 March 2026 (UTC)
