== Bot tagging disambiguation articles as uncategorized ==

BetacommandBot has been marking articles as uncategorized when they have a category. Disambiguation articles such as ] and ] were tagged with <nowiki>{{uncategorized}}</nowiki>, but they were already in a category. When articles are tagged with <nowiki>{{disambig}}</nowiki>, it automatically puts them in ]. This is an appropriate way to categorize disambiguation pages. Please modify BetacommandBot to ignore disambiguation pages when checking for a category. Thank you. --] <sup>]</sup> 13:18, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

Hey, when are you going to get to approving the people on the waiting list for VandalProof? The list gets bigger and bigger every day. Thanks, '''<font color="green" face="Papyrus">]</font>''' <sup>''' ]'''</sup> 22:57, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

Why did you remove the edit action in to ], and with no edit summary? All the other stub templates use that syntax. If you do not explain your edit, I will revert it. Thanks, — <font face="Verdana">]<sup>]]]</sup></font> 17:01, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
:One Please do not be aggressive. Second, I am removing them from the templates as I am trying to clean-up our mainspace and the self links in it. We should not have links to wikipedia in our mainspace unless we are talking about wikipedia. ] 17:08, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

::I didn't intend any aggression in my tone. If I don't see a good reason for an edit I don't understand, and I don't get one from the editor, I revert it—that's not a threat, it's letting you know where I'm coming from. However, I'd appreciate it if you could clarify your explanation a bit. How are stub templates different from cleanup templates that link to non-mainspace pages? ] indicates that self-refs in stub messages do not need to be deleted. Also, have you talked with ] about these changes? — <font face="Verdana">]<sup>]]]</sup></font> 20:40, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

:I the other templates you are talking about dont use external links. I am attempting to clean up the mainspace and remove external links to wikipedia that should be internal, or be removed. the use of external links in templates is not a good practice and is normally avoided along with the fact that when ever you use one of these templates with external links it just makes it all that harder to work with improper links. ] 20:52, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Is there any consensus for the changes you are making? --''']''' (] ]) 19:53, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Why remove links in stub templates to "edit this page"? ] seems to say this is acceptable. ] (] 23:07, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
:It creates a lot of un-needed external links that make it very very difficult to work with the real links that are on wikipedia. Ive seen a lot of pages that use external links, but should be using internal, and others that are reference problems. with the mass addition of these links in templates it makes it extremely difficult if not impossible to address the serious issue of improper use of those links. ] 23:14, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
::I don't think it is uncontroversial as the ease of maintenance reasoning does not apply to avoid self-references in article space so I don't see a consensus to not have them in stub templates. In fact, ] seems to show a consensus that it ''is'' acceptable in stub templates but I, personally, do not have a significant objection to removing the links from stub templates. ] (] 23:29, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
<span id="63323617030" />
:::Seconded - ] pretty explicitly says that stubs will have self-edit links and that this is ok and normal. Betacommand, please stop and reverse yourself on this. Get consensus to change the guideline before proceeding again. Thank you. ] (]) 04:11, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

== Bot problem? ==

Not sure if this is a problem - but the bot just posted a message on ] regarding fair-use of ]. The image description page already has a fair use rationale on it?

Why was the unlinking done in edit? --] (]) 16:05, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
:that was me, there was an issue with the IE, I was removing extra links to wikipedia. Im trying to clean up our article space self links and that page was adding thousands of un-needed links. ] 16:07, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
