Please stop removing category sortkeys
Hello. I realize you probably think those words after the pipe character are mistakenly applied link labels. They are not piped link labels. They are sorting keys and they are there for a reason. Please read WP:SORTCAT for the mechanics of how they work and WP:SORTKEY for more general information about them.

If you think it is odd or unfortunate that two very different functions share the same syntax, and that it's no wonder editors get them confused, I would agree with that notion. Many editors, even experienced ones, do get thrown by it. However, the pipe character is used for many different functions here and I suppose most understand this once they are familiar with various wikicode. -- DB 1729 talk 02:02, 5 November 2023 (UTC)
