Category:Wikipedians who retain deleted categories on their userpages
(Redirected from Category:Father Wikipedians)
- This category contains user page categories which have been deleted by consensus at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion (or the former Wikipedia:User categories for discussion), typically for a reason listed in the guideline on inappropriate user categories.Some editors have reinstated the category entries on their user pages, creating red links which are contrary to the guideline on avoiding creation of certain types of red links. Such red links show up in lists used to identify errors in categorization, including Special:WantedCategories. This list is limited in size, showing only a subset of the currently red-linked categories, so a red-linked category on a user page displaces categories that other editors are trying to fix.To alleviate this nuisance, hard redirects were created at the names of the deleted categories, turning the respective red links blue, and removing them from the aforementioned error lists. However, because the redirects are in the category namespace, the hardcoded category functionality persists, causing both the deleted categories to reappear on user pages and the user pages to appear on the redirect page as category members. Thus the end result is practically near-indistinguishable from the state before the categories were deleted.
