Category talk:All WikiProject Gibraltar pages

Parent category
@Christian75: please stop removing this category from its parent Category:WikiProject Gibraltar articles, which you have now done twice:,.

Category:WikiProject Gibraltar articles is part of the wider series Category:Articles by WikiProject, which is misnamed: early all such categories contain non-article pages. So e.g. Category:Gibraltar articles by quality contains Category:NA-Class Gibraltar articles, which has categories and templates. Other project have specific categories for templates (see Category:Template-Class articles + subcats) and categories (see Category:Category-Class articles + subcats) and files (see Category:File-Class articles + subcats).

Yes, those categories are misnamed ... but renaming them all would be a huge job. Meanwhile, Category:WikiProject Gibraltar articles contains lots of non-article pages as subcats of Category:Gibraltar articles by quality and Category:Gibraltar articles by importance: see https://petscan.wmflabs.org/?psid=19508006, which currently finds 990 such pages.

You can also verify that Category:All WikiProject Gibraltar pages contains only articles that are also in Category:Gibraltar articles by quality and Category:Gibraltar articles by importance: see https://petscan.wmflabs.org/?psid=19507955.

I hope this clarifies the situation. -- Brown HairedGirl  (talk) • (contribs) 13:00, 5 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Not all WPs use it that way. E.g. see WikiProject Video games which only contains articles. You agree the categories are misnamed, so why continue to misname the new categories. And MAIN_CAT is optional so a good idea to ask the WP first. I saw you edit because you changed WikiProject Gibraltar and will just leave it as it is. I have no particular interest in this WP.
