Template talk:Usercat-1

Geographical Association
The text "or are associated with" should be included as this assists proper classification of Wikipedians. I agree that there are categories for interests and ethnicities, but a user should be able to identify with more than one location. For example a student who is studying in another country should be able to categorise themselves according to both their "home" and "host" countries. Otherwise it would necessitate creating a parallel set of "ex-pat" categories. Furthermore it would be necessary for a Wikipedian to change their identity each time they move country even though they do not have to change their passport.--Vivenot 13:17, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

 * I removed these words from the template before seeing this discussion. Please note that there are now categories of "Wikipedians from ...", under ethnic and nationality groupings. This change will solve the confusion on WP:UCfD, too, where the issue keeps popping up. Xiner (talk, email) 18:31, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Removal of "This page is replacing ..."
I have removed the following from the template: "This page is replacing Wikipedians/. See User categorisation for more information." User categorisation is inactive and categories have, in most cases, already replaced the individual lists. -- Black Falcon (Talk) 21:41, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

This template shows up in the main Massachusetts category
Can someone please modify the example to ensure that the template doesn't show up in Category:Massachusetts? Thanks, --CapitalR 21:11, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

New template: Usercatb
Hi! I made a new template, Usercatb, that replaces the base one (usercat) along with the -1 and -2 versions, all the while maintaining compatibility and adding new features. Please check it and start using it, as it's worth it. -- alexgieg (talk) 21:41, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
