Survivor: Cook Islands
This article has passed a Good Article review, the weird edit wars that popped up as the GAN concluded notwithstanding. If the editing chaos doesn't settle down, or you feel that the GAN review was incorrect, feel free to start a Good Article Reassessment of the article. Until a GAR closes with the conclusion that the article should be delisted, however, it is a Good Article, and it gets to have the icon at the top. You could always just roll the article back to the version after Legobot added the icon, if you think all the changes since it passed have been for the worse? -Bryan Rutherford (talk) 01:14, 2 May 2022 (UTC)
- I'm sorry but this is a clear case were WP:COMMONSENSE and a dash of WP:IAR apply. The article was reverted right away to everything before the GA and as such is not a GA. Gonnym (talk) 08:12, 2 May 2022 (UTC)
- Then unrevert it to the state it was in when it passed at GAN, or run it at GAR. There is a process for deciding whether or not an article is a Good Article, and this one has gone through that process; it isn't up to you to unilaterally decide this. Would you like me to put it up at GAR for you? -Bryan Rutherford (talk) 19:45, 5 May 2022 (UTC)
I came across a redlink at WP:Articles for deletion#How to nominate a single page for deletion for multi-page deletion nomination procedure that leads to Template:Afd footer which leads to Template:AfD in 3 steps where Template:Afd footer (multiple) is linked. (I can see how you missed that!). I'd guess that in WP:AFD it should just link to further down - but I've never dealt with the multi-page deletion procedure, and seldom edit templates, so I'm hesitant to do an edit.

- Thanks for this message, I didn't even see this! The template could either be restored, or its instruction merged into the template. TfD has single and multiple in the same sections. Gonnym (talk) 17:26, 4 May 2022 (UTC)
Template categories should not be in content categories
Thank you for working on creating categories for rail transport templates. Per WP:CAT#T guideline, content categories should not be used for categorizing templates, like you did recently in Category:Indian Railways templates. Categorization of templates is done via administrative categories only. Please consider putting wikilinks to related content categories on the template category page instead, for example, in form of a hatnote or in |topic=

Template:chset-xxx
What happened to the use of all the character set templates, like Template:chset-cell4 et el, in the code page articles (EBCDIC 37, ISO 8859-1, etc.)? Looks like everything got changed sometime around 2022-01-04. Was all of that work wiped out? I see a few draft pages (Draft:EBCDIC 037), so is the intent to replace Template:chset-xxx templates with new Template:Character set xxx templates? — Loadmaster (talk) 16:31, 8 May 2022 (UTC)
- I added a comment to the Talk:ISO/IEC_8859-1 page. I doubt it will change anything, though. Too bad. — Loadmaster (talk) 17:04, 8 May 2022 (UTC)
- And BTW, it was Spitzak who began the push for the changes. — Loadmaster (talk) 17:12, 8 May 2022 (UTC)
Desperate Housewives
FYI, I've gone through and redirected most of the episode articles. They were horrendous. I realized about halfway through there were some R cats and such that exist, so my edits didn't tag them, which might need to still happen. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 18:33, 8 May 2022 (UTC)
- Good work! I did the season 1 episodes a while ago but didn't continue as it was just too many. Gonnym (talk) 19:31, 8 May 2022 (UTC)
- As soon as you linked to it in the Notability discussion, I knew I couldn't just let them stay. That boggles me that that was how editors made pages (mostly years ago), and they somehow have stuck. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 01:03, 10 May 2022 (UTC)
Module:Sports table tracking categories
Hello, I noticed recently a lot of templates using Module:Sports table are displaying warnings in the edit window for possibly ignored parameters, and have been added to the category Category:Pages using sports table with possibly ignored parameters. For example see Template:2021–22 UEFA Champions League group tables, where the tables are formatted correctly. I am assuming this came as a result of your recent edit here, is there any way these errors could be removed from the aforementioned example, where there are no ignored parameters? Thanks, S.A. Julio (talk) 16:26, 10 May 2022 (UTC)
- Are you sure that they weren't there before? I've checked Template:2018–19 UEFA Women's Champions League group tables with this reversion and the category appears there. Gonnym (talk) 22:58, 10 May 2022 (UTC)
- Hmm, I am not entirely sure regarding the hidden category, but I edit such tables quite frequently, and have only noticed the warnings in the edit window quite recently. S.A. Julio (talk) 23:54, 10 May 2022 (UTC)
Your recent category move
Hello Gonnym,
You filed a speedy category renaming request recently on Category:Bande dessinée. I don't mind renaming from Franco-Belgian comics, but shouldn't the category name be Category:Bande dessinées instead? That was actually where there was consensus to move to in the RM (in the same way we have European comics not "European comic"), and someone just moved it again out of process afterward to the singular version. Didn't really care enough to contest the article move, but categories should definitely be plural by default, right? i.e. Category:French novels, not Category:French novel. Any objection if I take this back to speedy? (For all that it seems to indicate that pluralization isn't speedy worthy... sigh... maybe they'll make an exception for recently moved categories.) SnowFire (talk) 11:45, 11 May 2022 (UTC)
- I don't speak French so I didn't even notice that was a singular/plural situation. You are correct that it should be plural if it is a descriptive name like the previous "Franco-Belgian comics". Gonnym (talk) 11:51, 11 May 2022 (UTC)
TFD for Template:WikiProject Nigeria/Lagos
Hello Gonnym, There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Eruditescholar (talk) 21:14, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
Template:Infobox assembly
Hey, Gonnym,
I hope you are well. I just wanted to ask you, when you tag a page for any type of deletion (CSD, PROD, AFD/TFD/RFD/etc.), please post a notification on the talk page of the page creator. I see that you already use Twinkle so there might be a problem with your Twinkle Preferences. Make sure that "Notify page creator" box is checked off and that EVERY CSD criteria box is checked off in the CSD section of the Preferences. I think the default is to only have a few CSD criteria checked when it really doesn't matter what the deletion reason is, the page creator should still be notified. I come to you regarding this particular one because a different editor "blanked" the page rather than the page creator so, as far as I can tell, they don't even know there is a problem with this template since the editor who blanked the page didn't notify them of there being a problem.
Thanks for all of your contributions with templates and categories, I seem to run into your handiwork every day! Many thanks! Liz Read! Talk! 06:34, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
Category:Big Brother (Swedish television series)
Why did you add abbreviation for television? There is no reason for it. Eurohunter (talk) 09:47, 20 May 2022 (UTC)
- The article is at Big Brother (Swedish TV series) and not at Big Brother (Swedish television series). See WP:NCTV. Gonnym (talk) 09:50, 20 May 2022 (UTC)
Category:A-Class Animation articles by work groups & Category:A-Class Animation articles
Hello, Gonnym,
I just finished deleting a lot of categories for A-Class animation articles from a CFD you proposed and found these were kind of left out of the proposal and weren't tagged to be part of the discussion. Did you intend for these to be deleted as well? I think it would be easiest at this point to contact the CFD discussion closer about including them or, they can just be leftover categories. Thanks.

Germany/HRE categories
Hey, Gonnym,
I really didn't intend to post so many messages on your talk page! But going through all of the Germany/Holy Roman Empire categories, it seems like it was you who emptied the Germany ones, I guess using some tool I don't know about. Well, there are still a few out there, I came across some at Category:Establishments in the Holy Roman Empire by year and elsewhere but this is the category that had the most that were still around. I don't mean to give you work to do when I'm sure you have your own set of tasks you like to handle but if you knew of a way to empty these lingering Germany categories and get the contents moved into Holy Roman Empire categories for that year, I'd be ever grateful. Thanks! Liz Read! Talk! 01:24, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
- Hey Liz, I used no tool, just manually checked each article to determine what the correct categories are. I'll go over the rest and see if I can help with those. Gonnym (talk) 06:33, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
- Thank you so much, I think you got most of them. Changing all of these categories manually sounds like a lot of work and I appreciate your time. I'm also not sure when Germany is no longer considered part of the Holy Roman Empire, I should really read up on my history more, it's somewhere in the 1800s. It would have been easier if they had included all of these categories in the original CFD nomination and the bot could have handled all of this work. Thanks again. Liz Read! Talk! 04:22, 26 May 2022 (UTC)
- Ah, damn, I just found more in Category:Establishments in the Holy Roman Empire by decade. This CFD was really handled poorly both in the proposal and the closure. Liz Read! Talk! 04:29, 26 May 2022 (UTC)

Your move of Module:Adjacent stations/BVL to Module:Adjacent stations/Barcelona–Vallès Line
Please don't supress the redirect when moving a template or module which is actually in use. This has the potential of breaking a page. In stead, when such an action would otherwise be appropriate, please leave the redirect until all relevant pages have been fixed. Animal lover |666| (talk) 04:26, 26 May 2022 (UTC)
- None of the pages were broken. The module was used on only two pages and the fix was immediately. In fact, it took you longer to write this message then it took me to fix those. Also, please when you create a module, don't use random abbreviations that other editors won't know what they mean. Even Barcelona–Vallès Line does not mention "BVL" once. Gonnym (talk) 04:30, 26 May 2022 (UTC)
- You happened to do this at the same time I was navigating along the articles of the stations of Barcelona Metro line L5, and I arrived at Provença–Diagonal station when the article was broken. Animal lover |666| (talk) 04:34, 26 May 2022 (UTC)
- And I simply used the system designations already in place in the Template:S-Line usage previously present in the articles. Animal lover |666| (talk) 04:41, 26 May 2022 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Réseau Express Régional succession templates
A tag has been placed on Category:Réseau Express Régional succession templates indicating that it is currently empty, and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion. If it remains empty for seven days or more, it may be deleted under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself. Liz Read! Talk! 02:52, 27 May 2022 (UTC)
- Hi, Gonnym,
- I wanted to let you know that Category:TER Bretagne succession templates has been tagged as a CSD C1 empty category by an admin who doesn't believe in leaving talk page notifications for page creators when pages are tagged for deletion or deleted. You seem to like to tag them yourself for CSD G7 or you can wait a week and it will be deleted or if you still have a use for it, make sure it doesn't remain empty! Your choice. Take care, Liz Read!

Kent Family Chronicles
I would argue neither film nor book are that notable. The books were successful in their time, but have been forgotten now. (Exhibit A: the the articles for the rest of the series.) I agree the books may be notable for their authorship and as part of the mid-1970s "Bicentennial fever." However, the films are only notable because of the books.
What if we collate all the books onto the main Kent Family Chronicles page and then have another article for the films? I really don't think they rate eight different articles each. Just Another Cringy Username (talk) 21:04, 29 May 2022 (UTC)
- If both are not notable then send the article to AfD. Two non-notable topics don't make a notable topic. If none of the books are notable but the series is, then The Kent Family Chronicles might be the correct way. Gonnym (talk) 08:00, 30 May 2022 (UTC)
- Looking further into it, I agree the series is notable by virtue of its authorship. Jakes was a well-known historical novelist in the 70s and 80s. I think the first three books in the series are notable enough for their own articles, w/ a short section on the adaptation. (I mean, they were notable enough in their time for an adaptation.) I'll merge the last few novels in the series back into the main Kent page, since they're undeveloped stubs w/o even a plot summary and don't seem to be as notable as the first three.
