Categorisation

First off, welcome to the Tardis wiki! Thank you for your recent edits. Usually, a bot automatically creates this page but for some reason it hasn't this time.

When you're adding categories to a page, you should only use the most specific one and none of its parent categories. For example, Architectural reconfiguration system is in Category:TARDIS components, so it doesn't need to be in Category:Gallifreyan technology because TARDIS components is already a subcategory of Gallifreyan technology. Avoiding this helps bots run. If you have any questions, you can ask on my talk page. P&P talk contribs 21:10, September 1, 2014 (UTC)

Categorisation, again

Can you please pay attention when categorising pages. I see from the message left before me on this page that this issue has already been pointed out to you. Perhaps it would help to delineate exactly what the gripe we both seem to have is:

For example, a page in the category Cities visited by the Fifth Doctor does not need to be in the category Cities as the first category is itself in the category Cities visited by the Doctor which is in turn in the category Cities. Otherwise you are putting the page into the category Cities twice.

Please address this issue as quickly as possible. If you don't understand, or even if you disagree with this, just message me back on my talk page. We're glad to have new editors, so I hope you won't be put off by this.--Skittles the hog - talk 00:15, September 2, 2014 (UTC)

Ban on categories

Unfortunately, I have to tell you to stop adding categories to pages. You clearly do not yet understand our category system, which is pretty complex. For now, until you've edited here a while, please confine your work to non-category edits. Thanks. Shambala108 ☎ 01:38, September 2, 2014 (UTC)

No need to apologize. I suggest you read through Tardis:Categorisation and all the links at the top of that page. When you have done so, let me know.

As for the notification, it's easy to miss. It usually says "You have a hypercube" (like from The Doctor's Wife). It's usually located in the bottom right of your screen, which is unfortunately where wikia-wide announcements are also located and usually ignored by many users.

Okey dokey. In the future, if you have any questions, feel free to ask any active admins, though some are more active than others. Shambala108 ☎ 02:10, September 2, 2014 (UTC)
