Please list user categories at Misplaced Pages:Categories for discussion/Working/User. User categories are categories that mainly contain pages in the User: or User talk: namespace.
Shortcut
Misplaced Pages:Categories for discussion (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

If process guidelines are met, move categories to the appropriate section here to prepare to delete. Before deleting a category, ensure that it is empty.

Please help keep this page clean! Listings that have already been dealt with need to be removed quickly. When all of the entries in a category have been updated, move the listing to the "Ready for deletion" section for an administrator to finish.

The templates needed for closing discussions and details of the procedure can be found here.


Bots

Bots task pages are listed below. Tasks on those pages are being handled by the bot, and may or may not also be listed below.


Procedure


Discussions awaiting closure

This page has an administrative backlog that requires the attention of willing administrators.
Please replace this notice with {{no admin backlog}} when the backlog is cleared.

To be emptied or moved

The following categories meet the requirements 1) for deletion but are not empty, or 2) for renaming/moving. You can still review discussions, which have been moved to archive pages (in particularly controversial cases, discussion may be left intact on this page instead). This section is meant to be a summary with no discussion. Some cleanup links have been moved to bots task pages listed above. You may find it helpful to use the software WP:AWB in re-categorisation.

Administrators: Please take care to note whether or not the discussion suggests the category may need to be split among multiple destination categories, the category should be converted into a list, or there are any other special circumstances that preclude a bot from blindly implementing the decision.

Speedy moves

See Misplaced Pages:Categories for discussion/Speedy.
After a category is empty, editors may move the entry to Ready for deletion below.

Old by month categories with entries

This section lists old maintenance categories that should be empty but are not. This can result from incomplete nominations, bot errors, or pending manual work.

  • None currently


Ready for deletion

The categories below meet the eligibility requirements for deletion at the top of this page. These categories have been de-populated, and any documentation of this decision completed. Administrators may delete these categories at will (do not delete the log page). If there is a particular category that is replacing the deleted category (redundant, misspelled, etc.) as noted below, that should be mentioned in the deletion log entry.

The category to be deleted is listed first, followed by the category that renders it obsolete.
