Fixing category
I noticed that the Misc desk had a weird Category link sitting in the middle of the screen. (See here). When I went to edit it, I saw that Cat had a colon ahead of it, which (I figured) was why the thing was showing up among the headers rather than as a footnote. I tried to fix it, but my edit seems to have made the Cat disappear completely. Wha'happen? Matt Deres (talk) 22:15, 16 December 2018 (UTC)
- @Matt Deres: The cat probably "disappear[ed] completely" because it's a hidden category and you don't have your preferences set to show those. I'm seeing Category:Non-talk pages that are automatically signed among the page's hidden cats after your edit. Deor (talk) 22:24, 16 December 2018 (UTC)
- @Deor: Ah, yes, you are correct; I didn't even know 'hidden categories' was a thing, but I've enabled it now. Thank you! Matt Deres (talk) 18:56, 17 December 2018 (UTC)
- @Matt Deres: The cat probably "disappear[ed] completely" because it's a hidden category and you don't have your preferences set to show those. I'm seeing Category:Non-talk pages that are automatically signed among the page's hidden cats after your edit. Deor (talk) 22:24, 16 December 2018 (UTC)
- Looking a bit further, it seems like the Cats for the individual desks are not very uniform. Maybe we should settle on which ones should apply and then apply them evenly? Matt Deres (talk) 22:16, 16 December 2018 (UTC)
Further to above, here is the current breakdown of categories for each desk:
- Comp: Wikipedia help forums (−) (±)Wikipedia reference desk (−) (±) Non-talk pages that are automatically signed (−) (±)Pages automatically checked for incorrect links (−) (±)Wikipedia help pages with dated sections (−) (±)
- Ent: Wikipedia resources for researchers (−) (±)Wikipedia help forums (−) (±)Wikipedia reference desk (−) (±) Wikipedia pages semi-protected from banned users Non-talk pages that are automatically signed (−) (±)Pages automatically checked for incorrect links (−) (±)Wikipedia help pages with dated sections (−) (±)

Removing the cats that are the same across the board and the semi-protection notices gets us to this:
- Comp: Non-talk pages that are automatically signed (−) (±)
- Ent: Wikipedia resources for researchers (−) (±) Non-talk pages that are automatically signed (−) (±)
- Hum: Wikipedia resources for researchers (−) (±)
- Lang: Wikipedia resources for researchers (−) (±) Non-talk pages that are automatically signed (−) (±)
- Math: Wikipedia resources for researchers (−) (±) Non-talk pages that are automatically signed (−) (±)
- Sci: Wikipedia resources for researchers (−) (±) Non-talk pages that are automatically signed (−) (±)
- Misc: Wikipedia resources for researchers (−) (±) Non-talk pages that are automatically signed (−) (±)
So, it's not as bad as I thought (the uneven protection levels threw me off), but it looks like the Computing desk is not a resource for researchers and Humanities is not automatically signed. Any objections to me making them all the same? Is the auto-sign thing all that needs to be done or is there something additional that has to be applied? Matt Deres (talk) 16:37, 19 December 2018 (UTC)
- Is it possible to simply remove the cats from the individual desks and add them to the header like we did with the protection template? I don't know how the no include etc work with cats. Nil Einne (talk) 13:34, 20 December 2018 (UTC)
We need to talk about Kharon
Although I don't believe his intentions are bad, I have to say, that his contributions are, to put it politely, really poor. His mastery of the English language is also deficient. I don't mean to be offensive, but with his attitude, he might be wasting his time and ours. Doroletho (talk) 13:32, 27 December 2018 (UTC)
- Your only contribution seems to be putting random Questions on some of the reference desks. Oh and going after me again and again since that one incident where you felt "made fun of". How about you simply forget about it?--Kharon (talk) 18:58, 27 December 2018 (UTC)
- The reference desks are there for people to ask questions. We are here to provide referenced answers. You seem to be unclear about both concepts. Matt Deres (talk) 01:12, 28 December 2018 (UTC)
- One thing you should do is "show preview" before "publish" - because sometimes your comments are not written well and are hard to interpret. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 01:30, 28 December 2018 (UTC)
