Category redirect demo page[edit]
The first page is apparently supposed to demonstrate the use of a category redirect on a page, but the redirect has been "fixed" by MABot since 2017. This also resulted in a category loop at the non-redirect cat. Do we really need a demonstration like this here on Meta? ~~~~

- No; this is more something within mediawiki.org's scope for a technical documentation page, not really something to be messing around with in Meta-Wiki mainspace. Vermont (talk) 22:57, 12 October 2021 (UTC)
- Delete per Vermont. We don't need these testings on mainspace. No objection if it is in some user space or whatsoever. Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 09:51, 15 October 2021 (UTC)
- Delete per Vermont. SHB2000 (talk | contibs) 11:52, 15 October 2021 (UTC)
This section is resolved and can be archived. If you disagree, replace this template with your comment. All deleted per above.— xaosflux Talk 13:38, 20 October 2021 (UTC) Templates[edit]

Template:JS migration[edit]
Per w:Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2021 March 21#Template:JS migration * Pppery * it has begun 16:56, 1 October 2021 (UTC)
- What about the pages where it is still in "use"? --MF-W 22:59, 9 October 2021 (UTC)
- It does nothing other than populate a maintenance category which is now useless (for the reasons I explained on enwiki) and should be removed in all of those cases. * Pppery * it has begun 04:16, 10 October 2021 (UTC)
Template:REVIVEWIKI[edit]
I don't see how useful this template this is for meta. Sure, it's the format used when a Wiki goes into a soft closure, but regardless, it has no useful purpose on meta (I also have the concern that the IP that started this template thinks that Wikipedia is the only WMF project, although that's irrelevant to this request). And finally, its not used anywhere, nor even linked (except on this page). Didn't notify the page creator since the IP that started it is globally blocked. SHB2000 (talk | contibs) 10:58, 12 October 2021 (UTC)
- Just noticed this at special:PageTranslation. Indeed this seems more like something in scope of Incubator. However, since templates like this are usually substituted, the lack of transclusions would in general not be a problem, even if the template was years old. ~~~~

Category:Wiki Women Edit-a-thon Nepal 2016[edit]
It does not look like this one is any different from Category:Wiki Women Edit-a-thon 2016, and the main category is named Category:Wiki Women Edit-a-thon without a mention of Nepal. ~~~~
User:1234qwer1234qwer4 (talk) 21:59, 18 June 2021 (UTC)
- Additionally listing Category:Wiki Women Edit-a-thon Nepal 2016/ne. ~~~~

Category:Dagbani Wikimedians Chapter/Templates/Tabs[edit]
These aren't templates, and I'm not sure what this has to do with "tabs". Looks like all of these can be recategorised under Category:Dagbani Wikimedians Chapter, which only cointains Category:Dagbani Wikimedians Chapter/Templates at the moment, though it might be worth renaming it to Category:Dagbani Wikimedians User Group in line with the mainspace pages. ~~~~
User:1234qwer1234qwer4 (talk) 21:08, 22 September 2021 (UTC)
- If you insist to delete, it then at least can we simply rename it to Category:Dagbani Wikimedians User Group without moving, just so we can keep all the subpages intact? -—M@sssly✉ 17:53, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
- Sorry, I don't understand your request. ~~~~

Category:Protection[edit]
Looks like this is redundant to the much older Category:Page protection category. ~~~~
User:1234qwer1234qwer4 (talk) 13:28, 1 October 2021 (UTC)
- I (category creator) agree. Apokrif (talk) 13:45, 1 October 2021 (UTC)
- Recategorised the three pages. I could have just G6 speedied it now, but I figured redirecting would be the better alternative. ~~~~

Category:Page Elements[edit]
I can't make sense of this – how are the two templates specifically related to "page elements"? ~~~~

Category:Tools or Category:Tools and scripts[edit]
Currently, we have the two categories Category:Tools and Category:Tools and scripts, which are only linked to each other by a "see also" hatnote. The first one is categorised under Category:Software and Category:Infrastructure, while the second one belongs to Category:Documentation. Judging by the name though, it looks that both have essentially the same scope, so this splitting makes pages harder to find. While "Tools" is shorter and more concise, "Tools and scripts" appears to be slightly more inclusive, as well as having a significantly higher number of translations. I would lean towards deleting/redirecting the first one, though I am open to see additional arguments here. ~~~~

Category:模[edit]
As far as I understand it, this should have been replaced by category:Templates/yue. ~~~~
User:1234qwer1234qwer4 (talk) 13:28, 12 October 2021 (UTC)
- Delete - useless for now. Replaced. Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 13:00, 14 October 2021 (UTC)

Proposals for closing projects/Closure of Wiktionary[edit]
There’s nothing wrong with the proposal. 217.117.125.83 10:08, 13 October 2021 (UTC)
- Seems the proposal is just empty and the above is trolling but let me ping @MF-Warburg: on the safe side. Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 09:45, 15 October 2021 (UTC)
- + Talk:Proposals_for_closing_projects/Closure_of_Wiktionary should be deleted too? Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 12:47, 15 October 2021 (UTC)
- It isn’t empty. And why do you think that this is trolling? 217.117.125.83 17:49, 18 October 2021 (UTC)
