Request to reopen CFD
Hi, you asked for my opinion yesterday at Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2024_May_6#Category:Deaths_from_food_poisoning, then closed it before I had saved my !vote. I have comments that I think are worth contributing. Please would you reopen the discussion? – Fayenatic London 09:00, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
- @Fayenatic london: my apologies. Not sure how I overlooked that you had not commented. Reopened. HouseBlaster (he/him) 11:33, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
- Cheers. Please could I also ask for Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2024_May_4#Category:Egyptian_films_by_year, as the rationale is partly incorrect – there are other national siblings within Category:20th-century films. – Fayenatic London 16:17, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
- @Fayenatic london: Sure. Reopened. HouseBlaster (he/him) 17:42, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

- Also, if you're keen on expanding compact/vague template names, I have a list of acronyms that need expansion. Primefac (talk) 11:54, 21 May 2024 (UTC)

Category question
Hi! Hope you are doing well. I was wondering if you had sources in mind for Draft:List of video games with AI-versus-AI modes? At Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2023 September 3#Category:Video games with AI-versus-AI modes, you suggested Category:Video games with AI-versus-AI modes be listified, but I am not finding sources which indicate it meets WP:LISTN. See also this discussion at WT:VG. Thanks! HouseBlaster (talk · he/him) 11:50, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
- Hi. Thanks for the note.
- Looking these over, most seem to fall under Category:Fighting games, though honestly, this could apply to any game that has at least 1 AI opponent. The feature in question also being known as autoplay, or more commonly "demo mode". The latter is what I found most when doing a quick search.
- I think you're probably right that this might be shaky ground for a stand-alone list. But I think it's info that could probably be merged to List of fighting games, or other such lists. (Maybe by use of a universal footnote for those that have the feature?)
- As an aside, thinking about this further, I see that I had mentioned Category:Video game lists by technology or feature. Looking at that category now, I think it probably needs to be re-thought. It seems a catch-all, and not a very good one. I think the word "feature" is looking like it's a bad word to use for categorization, because in computer software, that can mean a very broad grouping of things. I think there probably should be a split/merge in that category's future.
- I hope this helps. - jc37 19:22, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
- @Jc37: thank you for your reply! I am currently leaning towards letting the CFD bot delete the category, and adding the contents of the category at Talk:List of fighting games for future incorporation into the list as a universal footnote. Does that work for you? HouseBlaster (he/him) 19:31, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
- Sounds like a plan : ) - jc37 19:35, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
Awesome :)
Just want to make sure this is okay with Marcocapelle before listing at WT:CFDW? HouseBlaster (he/him) 19:38, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
- @HouseBlaster: of course that is okay! Marcocapelle (talk) 19:53, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
- I figured, but wanted to be sure :) HouseBlaster (he/him) 19:54, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
